Score is towards the lower side, but hey, a lot depends on your profile, your experience, and what college you went to.

MIT & Columbia I would think may not consider you though.

Hey there,

Here are some pointers about your profile:

Your GPA is pretty good but the GMAT Score is average.
However, the schools look for much more competencies in a candidate than just strong academics.
B-Schools like LBS and LSE place a very strong emphasis of international exposure ,extracurriculars,work experience (Internships & full-time experience), social volunteering initiatives and so on.

As far as your target schools are concerned, MIT and Columbia are highly competitive and can be considered as your dream schools

You may have a shot at LBS and LSE though, if you put up a strong application.

You can take our Profile Evaluation and we will be able to help you improve your selection chances at your target schools
Here’s the link for evaluation : https://mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf

Dude, don't listen to the two posters above, their advice is bad and they are only selling services, which to be honest, are probably as bad as their posts are.

Your GMAT is going to get you dinged at all the schools you listed. Your GPA is really good so I would suggest you spend more time studying, maybe get a tutor, and re-apply.
