Dear sameerbhagwatmba1,

I wish I could be of more help on this one, but I'm not as familiar with these schools as I am US programs. Generally speaking, you are not out of range for these schools, but you do have a similar profile to a large percentage of the global MBA applicant pool. As such, you must ensure your application not only presents a compelling story, but distinguishes you from the rest of the Indian applicants. You can also measure your competitiveness by measuring your GMAT and GPA against the schools' averages. If you are at or above the average GMAT/GPA, then you are in a more competitive position for admission. If you are below the school's average GMAT and GPA, then you have a larger mountain to climb.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
