You have a good, but not exceptional profile. Your GMAT is 30-50 points below the average for the schools you are targeting, and you will be competing against many international applicants with similar profiles. You will need sparkling essays and very strong, not just good, recommendations.

You have selected good schools with acceptance rates as high as one in three which will be helpful. Nevertheless, you will need to find a way to distinguish yourself from the thousands of IT applicants. Take a hard look at your experience to identify areas in which you can bring something extra to the classroom. An experienced admissions consultant can be a great help.

Good luck,
