Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

A 760 is an excellent score by anybody's standards. I would not retake, but instead be prepared to reiterate your background and "quant heavy" use in your daily job to your interviewer, if asked.
An unbalanced score is more worrisome when the overall score is lower. No need to worry about it here, in my professional opinion.

Hi,
I am Indian, currently in the final year of bachelors in Aerospace engineering. I have a gpa of 8.4/10
As far as academics go I was among a select few to receive a prestigious fellowship when I was in high school, other than that there isnt anything special.
In extra curricular activities, I have been active in organizing events in my institute, and even headed a committee for such an event this year.
I have tutored underprivileged kids as a member of a govt. project.
I hold one of the four official posts in my institute that are open to students.
Received a job offer from an India-based consulting firm, and plan to join after graduating.
I hope to join a management program after gaining 2-3 years of work experience.
I have taken online gmat practice tests and have consistently scored in the mid 700s.
Is it too ambitious to hope that I can get in to Wharton or Harvard, or other highly reputed programs?
If not, is there any way of improving my chances of getting in?

Hi,
I am currently studying in Mechanical Engineering Department at one of the older IITs (Indian Institute of Technology), India (Among Top 3 Engineering Institutes of India) and will be graduating in 2015 with Dual Degree (B.Tech.-M.Tech. Integrated 5 years).
I will be joining American Express as a Risk Analyst after my graduation in India.
My Past Records :
1. 10th : 89.8%
2. 12th : 81.6%
3. B.Tech. : 8.6/10, M.Tech. : 9.33/10
4. Did my summer internship at University of British Columbia, Canada.
Although I am from Mechanical Stream , I have done some courses related to Finance/Economics online.
Achievements :
1. Academic Excellence Award by IIT Kanpur for being in top 7% for 2013-2014.
2. Cleared IIT-JEE (Entrance Exam for IITs) with All India Rank - 900 among 0.5 million students.
3. Rank-1 in some School level and District Level exams conducted during the school before joining college. Although I don't think these matters much.
4. I might be able to publish 1 or 2 research paper at the end of my master's thesis.
Extra Curricular :
I have been involved in some activities and held some positions of responsibility during my graduation, however they are not very impressive. I also used to teach in NGO running in my college but there is no certificate etc.
I am 21 right now and looking to go for an MBA after 4-5 years. I want to join consulting firms after MBA.
I want to know whether my current profile good enough to get into the Tier-1 B-Schools in US ?
If yes then how should I proceed and build my profile ? What things are missing from my profile and what should i focus on to further strengthen my profile ?
Is American Express good enough ? Should I join some NGO too ??
Please guide me.
Thanks
