Hi Niscat53 and thanks for your post.
I think that you will be a competitive applicant for many of the schools you've mentioned in your post. You could also consider including Smeal (Penn State), Smith (University of Maryland) and Carnegie Mellon (as a reach). In terms of your career post MBA and how to best determine where your schooling would be most valuable, I suggest that you do some research on the other end of the process, re: contact some of the career services offices at these schools or research them online. You also might talk to those who are working in similar positions in the industry that you hope to join, (technology) and speak to them candidly about the pros and cons of these programs once you've done some additional research.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a more detailed assessment of your profile.
Best,
Deena

Hi Deena, Appreciate your quick response.

I did have Tepper in my long-list, but as is the case with so many of the Tier-1 schools my GMAT score was falling short of the average.

I know it all depends on the entire application package,but based on your experience is it feasible for me as an Indian applicant to apply to schools where my score is below the average by 10-30 points?

Also the thumb rule I follow for Tier 2 schools is they should be located in either of the top 10-cities or top 5 states economy-wise,otherwise I rule them out.What is your opinion on selecting schools in this manner?

Thank you
