Hi there,
Thanks for your post.
It sounds like you have a solid GMAT and grades; strong international experience; some leadership and accomplishments you can likely cite, including the event management and leading a team.
Your biggest challenge is likely just that there are a lot of Indian IT applicants, so that makes it tougher for that group, but I do think you have some factors to help you stand out some, with your management/leadership experience.
Aiming for US schools outside the top 10 would give you best chances, yes... you may have a shot at schools in the 10-20 range, or maybe you'd want to apply to a few of those and a few 'safety' options a bit lower ranked (and the more competitive you are among applicants at a given school, the better chances for scholarships, which can be fairly rare fyi). For more on choosing schools, you may want to check out our free download at https://info.mbamission.com/Selecting-Yo ... ram-E-Book.
Good luck, keep us posted!
