Hey Luqman,
So your profile looks pretty good. You have a nice GPA and a good GMAT too (fantastic TOEFL by the way), which give you a good base. I especially like the leadership and international experience, (esp. the US experience).

Your GMAt although great, could be a weeee bit higher (you gotta figure that Indian applicants who are accepting are scoring a good 20 points higher than your average applicant, just because of sheer numbers), but I would hope that your real strengths in leadership and internationalism will do more than balance that out.

I like your school list, although I would suggest you add at least another 2-3 schools to give yourself the best chances. For some thoughts on choosing the right MBA take a peek here: https://bit.ly/814Btg

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate.
Best,
Jon
