Jsujit –
Thanks for your profile posting and questions. You are in a tough spot. Given your basically average (or, depending on the school, below average stats) and advanced age and over-represented demographic, you have a bit of an uphill slog applying to the schools you mention. You do not delve into any extracurricular leadership roles or any personal stories, so I also probably am not seeing your full profile.
Nanyang and Carnegie Mellon may be good options for you, but the other schools feel like real reach schools for you. If you are 100% dedicated to business school for next year, I would suggest you add a few safety schools such as Vanderbilt, SMU, or UT. You just do not rise to the level of candidates that I see routinely gaining acceptance at Booth, INSEAD, or Darden.
Good luck,
Jennifer

"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."
