Yogesh,
Your 710 GMAT, long stint in Sweden, and Tata experience will all help you stand out. Be sure you write a good, non-superficial essay about the cross-cultural experience of living in Sweden. I do not think you are aiming too high with the schools you listed. Your odds at Mays, Fisher, Queen's, ISB, and NUS are good. Your odds at Oxford, CMU, Duke, and Darden are decent. This is a good, shrewd mix of schools to target. As for other European schools to target, the following all place high percentages of grads in consulting: Rotterdam, INSEAD, and IESE. You could consider INSEAD one of your long-shot schools.
