You have a good working experience and extracurricular activities. But your GMAT score of 660 is way below the average scores at your target schools. Even though GMAT score is not the only thing the top schools look for it plays a crucial role in getting an admission. Especially if you are targeting top schools the competition is going to be huge. Also remember you are applying from a huge talent pool (India), which makes it even harder for you. If I were you I would retake GMAT and aim for a 700+ score.
We need to understand your profile to comment on your chances at those schools. However if I were you, I would remove IE and add London Business School to the list. We know few people who got into LBS with such profiles. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. What about applying with my GRE score instead? What more information do you need for further understanding and evaluating my profile?
