hardikm -

With all due respect, all of the schools you mention (HBS, LBS, Insead, and Kellogg) are reaches for you. They would be reach schools for 95% of all candidates, but for a male, Indian engineer with 5+ years of work experience, with an average GMAT, you are certainly against stiff odds.

If you are 100% sure you wish to go to business school next year, please consider a few safety schools.

Also - why the desire to do healthcare strategy consulting? Nothing in your background suggests this. Be sure to explain your career path and goals a bit when working on your essays. This seems a bit random. It might not be, but you were not clear.

Thanks,
Jennifer
