Hi there,
Thanks for posting. I agree, trying the GMAT once more might be worth it, as currently it would be challenging to gain acceptance to your target schools. You are also part of a common applicant profile-- Indian IT applicants, who score quite strongly on the GMAT. You'll need to do all that you can to stand out from that group, particularly in the application essays. For the GMAT, if you haven't yet, consider a preparation program, whether live or online etc, to really push for that next level of scores. Wharton and Yale may be pretty challenging even with a high score, fyi, just being realistic. But of course if your heart is set on a particular school and you have the time to apply you can always try. Certainly getting feedback on your essays from an MBA admissions consultant or at least a friend/colleague who knows b-schools well would help!!
Good luck to you!

Thanks Jen.
By the way, I did Princeton Review course for the first GMAT attempt, and Manhattan test series for the second GMAT attempt. Looking for more options this time.
