Dear raghu_g_p,

You should be looking at schools with GMAT averages in the 600-650 range as reasonable options for you. If there is a school with a higher average that you believe to be a perfect fit, then you should consider applying there as well. However, with your profile being over-represented in the MBA applicant pool, you will need to make a compelling case for admission and submit great essays and recommendations. I encourage you to visit our sticky on school selection for additional tips on identifying programs.

Good luck,
Lisa
