instead of 10th and 12th marks - which no business schools in the US asks for, focus on undergrad marks; and basis that see if the GMAT is strong enough to showcase an overall strong profile
- what matters more beyond academics is your overall narrative

Your undergrad cgpa is great, focus on getting a higher GMAT if you can - issue is the Indian male engineer bucket - which is very competitive.

Regardless of GMAT, focus a lot on essays

For a scholarship, it is advised to score 20-30 points above the school’s average GMAT score. Especially if you’re from an over represented pool.

It will also depend on the class profile and this cycle’s applicants.
