Hey there dude,

You have some great stuff in your profile, most notable your volunteer work seems very good! (this is a rarity). OF course your GMAT is great, and your GPA is quite good.

I think the three tougher points in your profile are: 1. Not an IIT graduate (I'm assuming that you would have written it if you were) 2. Tough tough application pool 3. Even if your job is tough to get, it's still a tech job (luckily, this is a weakness that can be worked on in your essays, and you should!)

Your school list is good, but maybe a liiiiiittle bit on the tough side (I see no obvious safe school in your list), but if you can manage applications for all eight, I think you can be in good shape.

What else can I write???

Be ORIGINAL!

I'm sure you are talented, clever and hard-working.... but the schools see way way to many talented, clever and hard-working Indian Male Tech candidates with fantastic GMAT... they will want something MORE!
