Hi,

Your profile and GMAT score both look good.
Apart from INSEAD all schools in the list you have mentioned are fairly achievable for you.
INSEAD gives value to international experience which you have so we see good chances at INSEAD as well if your app is well written.

Other schools which you can look at are Oxford Said, Judge, HEC Paris, ISB and IIM exec programs. You can convert few of these as well.

A lot will depend on how you portray yourself as a consultant ( thereby differentiating you from a regular IT guy) and focus on client interaction and how you show a steady career progression.
