Dear Yash,

Those schools are all possibilities for you. However, you will not gain admission at any of them if you are unable to make a compelling case and distinguish yourself effectively. Your education and work experience is the same as the majority of the other MBA applicants from India to any school. As such, you will need to find a way to stand out and might want to consider retaking your GMAT. It could be helpful to get your score up into the 700s as that will help to balance your limited work experience and is more desirable for these schools. Even with a higher GMAT, it is still critical to have a solid overall application package.

Best of luck,
Lisa
