Hello ABONAROLL,

Thank you for your post!

Based on your career interests, I would suggest Michigan / Ross, Duke / Fuqua, NYU / Stern, and Cornell / Johnson. You may consider Northwestern / Kellogg, though I think that would be a bit of a reach. Given your understanding of the GMAT, it sounds like you may already understand that as an Indian national, you come from an oversubscribed pool of applicants. Many of your fellow country men and women with similar backgrounds (if not professional experiences) are also targeting top programs, and that makes it even more difficult to truly stand out or differentiate yourself. This would make your GMAT score and GPA even more important factor in your candidacy. That said, an increase of 20 to 30 points would solidify your candidacy a bit more and perhaps open up the door to other schools.

If you'd like to discuss your candidacy further, please contact us directly at https://www.clearadmit.com/services/free-consultation/.
