good profile - GMAT is the sore point currently
With a 750, I can see you making a good application to a T10.
With a 720, perhaps a T25
since there are so many ed-tech folks here - here is more self-promotion!
We have worked with folks from several of India’s leading ed-techs in the past. and currently, we are working with 3 folks who work with India’s largest ed-tech.
bratbg has a good profile. Weak GMAT. ASU, Gtech, Carlson would have been stretch programs worthy of consideration with a 680. I would advise him to consider programs across the T35. With a 750, a T12 to T15 might be possilbe
