hi d,
thanks for your post. as you probably know from reading my posts, its very difficult for Indian IT candidates to break into top MBA programs. unfortuantely there are many applications with similar backgrounds to yours, so the key is the really differentate yourself from others.

if you want to be competitive for a top MBA program, you will need to at least break 700, as the bar is much higher for Indian IT candidates.

Regards,
