With a 660 and a steady job at Intel from India, you are going to be hard put to get into Top 10 programs, whose average GMATs are between 40-60 points higher than yours (and likely 20-30 points above that for Indian candidates). If you really want to limit yourself ONLY to top 10 programs, I suggest retaking the GMAT. Otherwise if you are a bit flexible, you can consider apply to some Top 10 programs and some outside the top 10 too.

Thanks,
Hi Vikram,

You are aiming too high. 660 is way below average. Agree you have an Intel brand on resume but thats not enough.

So, in case you want to target top 10 schools in US, retake GMAT to get a 730+ or so. Even at that score a lot depends on how you present your candidature.
