Hi,
I suspect the answer you are looking for is along the lines of:
- Wharton, 40% chance
- Duke, 50% chance
- INSEAD, 30% chance
- Oxford, 60% chance
- LBS...
etc.
Unfortunately, the process doesn't quite work like that!
Let's put it this way: by the looks of it, there are some STRONG characteristics about your profile that you should focus on (extra-curricular achievements, "process"-oriented nature of your work), and WEAK points that you should definitely address in one way or another (low GMAT score for an Indian candidate, engineering background, limited international exposure...etc). The bottom line is this: schools need to know about who YOU are as a person and why you've made the decisions to become who you are now.
This is not something that a post on this forum can answer!!
Good luck with the process. If you need further help, send me a PM.
