Good professional achievements.. Couple of technical certifications.. Participated in CMMi Recertification Audit for IBM .. Best employee rating for two consecutive years..One of the youngest members in the interview panel for conducting technical interviews.. Also a member for review of work products withing the team..
In short.. Can manage pretty good recommendations..

Worked in tobacco and opium deaddiction camps for a short duration..


With such achievements and a score of 610 (Q42,V32) .. do i stand a chance with some of the better known bschools around the globe.. OR i should give another shot to the test..
Improving my verbal would be a challenge as i put in around a month to practising verbal.. but still have landed up with just 32..

My list of schools include..
NUS , NTU (Singapore)
RSM Erasmus Netherlands, ESMT Germany
Lancaster , Manchester , Strathclyde UK

Please let me know if my expectations are too high for my profile..

While you certainly have a shot at those schools (and others), because you are coming from a very competitive pool (Indian nationality and It background), I would reccomend you try to get your score up. You must realize by now that the typical applicant from your pool is coming with 5+ years experience and a 700 GMAT. You obviously can't do anything about the WE, but you can improve your score. Also make sure you are writing a persuasive and compelling application which lays out an inspirational vision of how you plan to leverage the MBA.
