Hi, Thanks for writing here Your GMAT is very much in range of the schools targeting. Areas of Improvement / Highlight Your extra curricular -- You must highlight your involvement into extra curricular activities to paint a holistic picture of your profile. Pls ensure that you highlight some leadership examples in your essays. Top B-Schools seek some leadership experience and i don't think your work profile has much to talk in terms of structured leadership examples These top schools receive hundreds of applications from the area of structured finance that you are a part of, so you must be able highlight some unique lessons that you have learnt. Prove that you are BETTER than the other guy with same profile Express and prove your uniqueness in your essays, you have enough time to enhance your skills Hope this helps Good luck
