Dear sameerbhagwatmba1,

I wish I could be of more help on this one, but I'm not as familiar with these schools as I am US programs. Generally speaking, you are not out of range for these schools, but you do have a similar profile to a large percentage of the global MBA applicant pool. As such, you must ensure your application not only presents a compelling story, but distinguishes you from the rest of the Indian applicants. You can also measure your competitiveness by measuring your GMAT and GPA against the schools' averages. If you are at or above the average GMAT/GPA, then you are in a more competitive position for admission. If you are below the school's average GMAT and GPA, then you have a larger mountain to climb.

Good luck,
Lisa
