Best advice. Don't take advice from random people on gmatclub.

Most are from single demographs

It will be better, but you are still Indian. Too many applications from there.

Get exceptional stats and execute your application perfectly (essays, LORs, professional goals etc.)

Gotcha - I do have a strong background of theatre and volunteering so would make use of that.


Also, is it a rumor that international acads are not looked at that closely?

I know several African candidates who got in with their GRE in that range, but the rest was stellar (MBB junior EM, top schools, founder of many clubs/associations etc.).

If you have a good gpa and get that 325+ GRE, you will most likely clear the academic hurdle. But since I don’t know anything else about your profile, I cannot say it will get you through the other admission filters
