690/5.0 (Q:49/ V:35)

Hi,
Done with GMAT on 15th July, was expecting around 720 though. I think verbal brought me down on G-Day. But it was my weak point all along, so cant blame it!
Following are my mock exam scores:

GMATPrep 1: 660(before the start of preparation)
Kaplan 1: 590 (depressed)
Kaplan 2: 600(super depressed, Stopped using the word 'Kaplan' after this)
Princeton 1: 720
GMATPrep 2: 730
GMATPrep 1 :710 (after re-install)

I felt questions in GMAT were pretty tough as compared with those in GMATPrep.
Now i have doubt regarding my chances in B-Schools i am applying, which are NUS, HKUST, NTU, CEIBS , ISB (all APAC)
Current Profile:
3 yrs experience in IT (2 with Product Company, 1 with Services)
Appearing for FRM (Financial Risk Manager) certification
Have done a beginner's course in Mandarin
GPA 3.9/4 (Engg from India)
Good Extra curriculars

It will be great if somebody can help me evaluate my chances??
