Dear Deepak,
By MIS program, I assume you are looking at MS in MIS programs at these schools and have answered your question under that assumption. MS applicants are evaluated a bit differently from MBA applicants, so that is why the distinction is important.
Based on your post, you appear to have enough experience and adequate grades and test scores. However, you do not note why you want to pursue the MIS program. I think it is possible you could get into at least one of the 5 programs you noted as you have a good mix of reach and competitive schools on your list, but it will depend on how well you write your essays and the strength of your recommendations. Your low verbal and AWA scores on the GMAT, and TOEFL just above minimum for many schools, are a bit of a concern, but well-written essays and a great interview (if you have the option) should help demonstrate your verbal skills.
Good luck,
Lisa
