Great! Now I have a clearer idea of where you stand.

Sooooo, in your profile the CONS are:
- You come from the toughest of applicant pools, as an Indian Male... Thank your lucky stars you aren't in tech! :) But this still makes things tough.
- Your undergrad school and GPA are not that fantastic,
- The volunteer work is a bit light.

PROs
- You are in a fantastic industry, with a lot of experience
- You have moved up very quickly and have some exceptional stuff in your profile (most importantly, being the only non-MBA, and you should definitely be writing this on every application you send in)
- You have management experience.

So in general, your WE is far better than average, but some of the other things are a bit less... I'd say preeeetty roughly, that your range of schools should be somewhere between 10-35 in the rankings, and would suggest you find most of your schools in this range (and then maybe one safety school out). Really, for you to advance in management consulting, any school could be good... so to make up your list, think about what draws you to the school (companies that recruit from specific schools should be a big factor for you).

I don't think there's that much point to retaking your GMAT. You have a 700 which is a fantastic grade... and that much higher will not necessarily make your application more convincing. Instead work on making the best essays you can.
