Need Expert Input

[bhupender]

Here goes my brief story.

I have taken GMAT recently and scored 620.I know my GMAT is on lower side however I do feel i stand fair chance because I am very specific about my MBA and post MBA expectations.

First, below are schools I'm targeting

Texas A & M University: Mays
Krannert School of Management, Purdue University
Pennsylvania State University: Smeal
University of Pittsburgh : Katz
Georgia University : Terry College of Business
Eller school of Management : Arizona University

Brief profile:
GMAT 620
Indian
Work-Ex : 4 years 2 month (Will have 5 years by fall 2013) in IT operations, applications automation, projects transformation & transition.
GPA :3.0
EC : Good enough
Post MBA goal : Do not want to change industry. Will look to move in IT consulting or strategy role.
Reason for choosing above schools: I really like their IS concentration structure, student clubs, MBA costs and recruiting technology companies.

Please let me know , how realistic I'm in this regard. What are my chances ?

Hi Bhupender,

Thanks for posting. I think you're applying to the right range of schools given your low GMAT and GPA. Your professional experience and ECs sound very similar to those of applicants in your pool (Indian Male IT applicants). While your professional story makes sense, it is not highly differentiating (many applicants pick a similar goal!). Any chance of retaking the GMAT to improve your score?

Still, all this said, I think you've been very thoughtful about your school choices and that you have a chance at the programs you've listed.

Good luck!
