Your profile is pretty good however it will not stand out unless you can really highlight your differentiating factors. Your scores fall within the range of most top universities however as MBA admissions become increasingly competitive, it is important to have a "wow" factor to make you stand out from the crowd. You need to focus on outstanding areas of work experience or interesting extracurriculars in addition to demonstrating that you can handle the academic load of a top university.

Hi A,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with MBA programs in India. Are you considering programs in the US?

Regards,
