Your chances depend upon the strength of your application as well as how you rate against the rest of the applicant pool. Since I have not read your essays or your LORs, it is difficult to give you your odds on getting it to the programs you've listed. However, your stats look pretty solid.

Additionally, I would need to know more about your post-MBA goals in order to suggest additional programs since the top 25 programs vary in their areas of focus.

Finally, you are in a very competitive applicant pool (Indian w/IT background) therefore it is imperative that you demonstrate differentiating characteristics in order to stand out from the crowd.
