Hi Varun,

You can target b-schools for 2014 intake whose GMAT range fall between 590-740 like: Haas, Duke, Darden, Ross, Cornell, McCombs, Booth, Kellogg, Tuck, Tepper, Kenan-Flagler , ISB and USC-Marshall. You can also try your chances in b-schools by clicking http://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool. Well you can mention about headship qualities, skills and professional achievements in your application essays & demonstrate the same during final interviews.

Let me know in case of other concerns you might have.

Cheers!!

Giving KUDOS is a decent way of saying thanks…
