The biggest issue I see with your background is that your career appears to jump all over the place! This is okay if you can explain the reasons behind your moves and weave everything togehter into a cohesive story. Your profile is actually not that out of the ordinary. We often see these types of activities and positions with Indian candidates. So another thing you should focus on is differentiation. Working on developing your personality and your personal story will help a lot.

You probably have the best chances of being admitted to the less competitive schools on your list. These would be:
Indiana
Emory
USC

This does not mean you cannot apply to the others. But I suggest you apply to schools from both groups, employing a "portfolio strategy" to your school selection.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
