On the basis of what you have written, I don't think you would stand out in a very highly qualified pool of applicants to those schools.

Hey Duncan,

Thanks for your kind response. 
I would like to go in-depth regarding my professional area.
As part of my 5 year corporate experience, I have received two awards for going beyond job responsibilities and three promotions which indicates my professionalism and commitment towards my job responsibilities.

As leadership capabilities, I have led a team of four members and carried out two international projects by directly involving with clients who are sitting in different geographies. This involves intense requirement analysis and providing the best solution as per client needs. Also, I have received numerous client appreciation for the dedication towards delivering emergency deliveries even on holidays.
These client meeting over Skype and WebEx, involves lots and lots of brain storming under heavy pressure for on or before time deliveries.

Because of the habit of taking responsibilities, I have been marked as a critical resource from my project management office.

Now coming to my personal area, 
I am a traveler in nature. In my leisure times, I did a lot of road trips in different parts of India. Also, places with historical interests creates curiosity in my mind and I tends to follow them. Exploring different cultures, interacting with people from different regions and knowing their culture has been one of my core interests.
In addition to this, because of this habit of exploring different cultures, I have been learning Spanish language on an mobile app as part time thing.


Other than travelling, I am a big enthusiast for technology. As a gadget freak, I have installed many smart home devices in home which are being operated directly using voice commands through Google Home app. 

Also, as a machine lover, I have an intense love for laptops and desktops. I have two laptops and a desktop in my home. I maintain these machines on my own. Maintenance includes, upgrading some component or cleaning dusts in fans and heat sinks.

 Other than this, I also have keen interests in space techs. As a fan of Elon Musk, I am amazed with his idea for starting water cycle in Mars. The depth and clear thinking of SpaceX CEO is just inspiring. 

These are some in-depth professional and personal sides of my profile.

Please evaluate and let me know.

Thanks,

I think the issue is that there are a lot of applicants to these programs who have very similar profiles as you do. Many of these applicants will also have extremely high GMAT scores, so you'll have to do everything you can to get a great score.

I would suggest studying for the GMAT, and in particular the verbal part, because it's often the case that many tech-minded applicants from India tend to do very well on the quant but no so well on the verbal. Having a great verbal, on par with your quant score, or even higher, would give you at least some advantage. Of course, getting a high overall score would be very important. 

I would use the schools you have shortlisted as your 'reach' schools, and then have 2-3 lower ranked schools that you can apply to as well as safety schools. To hedge your bets, so to speak.
