Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for sharing that information. Your GMAT score is quite impressive, but I'm concerned that you're going to get classified with the large population of Indian males with engineer/IT backgrounds, and stand little chance of differentiation. You need to work hard to emphasize what you bring to the table that allows you to stick out from the rest of the applicant pool. While I don't see enough detail here to recommend top-10 schools, I think top-20 could be competitive.

Best of luck,
