School targeted: i understand with a 710 gmat,tier 3 school,Indian-male-tech profile top 10 schools are a long shot.But still i wish to apply to couple of them considering my strengths in family business and extra curricular activities.

Hello there good sir,
And thanks for dropping by!

So the first thing I like about your profile is that in the scope of your family business, you have a good amount of leadership. That, plus your family business, and the perception of its potential (I assume you will want to take over as Director/CEO) will influence your application.

I think your school list is actually pretty good, if maybe a bit towards the difficult side. First of all, in your list of Reach/Safe, they are mostly reach or what I would call "fair game" but you don't have a single "Safe" school in the list (figure a school at which your GMAT is 40+ points over the average). So you might want to make sure that there is actually one safe school on your list.

But otherwise, the list is a good one, and I think that with a fantastic and passionate story about your goals and dreams I would hope for good results for you!

I hope this helps, and if you have aaaaany questions at all, drop a line,

Best,
JF
