Dear Ashutosh,

With your current profile, you are in a tough position. Your education and experience are very common in the applicant pools of MBA programs in all of the countries you note. While your GPA is strong, your GMAT is quite low relative to the other Indian engineers with IT experience. Schools where you will have the best chance will be those with GMAT averages under a 650 with strong curricula in marketing.

Good luck,
Lisa
