Dear Sayantan,

As an international student, you will be up against some fierce competition at the schools you note. Your GMAT score is a bit low relative to other international applicants at those programs. However, your industry experience might help to set you apart as it is not in IT. Aside from raising your GMAT to the 700+ range, I think you should keep some of the schools on your current list and look at adding some schools where your chances are a bit better (i.e., GMAT averages below 680).

Good luck,
Lisa
