Hi,
I wrote the GMAT recently and scored 710. I wish to begin researching schools and their application criteria.
Before that I would like to get an idea of what chances I have, if you can please tell me.
As of today I have 4 years of experience working in the IT industry. I am an Electronics and Science graduate from one of the popular schools in Bangalore. I have a GPA of 75 % . After graduation I worked as a software engineer in a leading IT company based in Bangalore. During my tenure in that company I worked for a project in an investment bank in London for a year. I was promoted to a programmer analyst while I was in that project. In 2005 I was assigned a project in Atlanta USA that went on for about 6 months after which I quit my first company. Right now I'm working in the IT department of a Health Insurance company in USA.
I have been involved in cultural activities in school and college all through. I have taken exams in classical music though I do not have recent practise.
I wish to get into cources that uplift technology management skills. Please evaluate my chances and which schools i can aim for

I'm not sure that I have enough info. You don't have to answer them for me, but here are some questions to consider:
* Why do you want an MBA? You mentioned "uplifting tech management skills," but I'm not sure what this means. Do you really need an MBA for this?
* Have you led teams in your job? If not, then have you coached/managed others? It's okay if you haven't, but how have you made an impact on your organization?
* Your profile (Indian/IT) is very common, so you'll need something to set you apart. A strong GMAT or degree from a top school won't do that for you. Your international experience is great, but look for other ways to show how you are unique, such as your hobbies and extracurricular activities.
Since you're interested in IT, then Tepper, Maryland, Vanderbilt, and UT Austin are schools to consider.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I had to end the posting abruptly yesterday since I got busy. Elaborating on why I need an MBA: In my tenure as an employee of a solutions and systems integration company I have had to work with business and solutions managers who win projects for the company and are supposed to gather requirements from the clients and pass it on verbatim to the project team. However most business managers I have worked with have little or no experience in program development. Their managerial and salesmanship skills are exemplary. The specifications passed on to the team in many cases do not match the actual needs of the client. Projects have been scrapped due to aggressive deadlines and miscalculation by the same folks. This always turned out to be very taxing for the client and the customer in terms of revenue, resource management etc. As I grow in the industry technically I would also like to drive my career towards providing well-managed technically competent business solutions. I have experience working on various fields within IT.
Talking about impact on the organization: I have not led teams per say. But I have been wholly responsible for implementing and deploying significant sections of many projects. My communication skills have been well appreciated always.
In my school years I worked with the Blind School for a fortnight every year helping students study and prepare for their board exams. During my college years I volunteered to substitute one of the teachers who had to go on a short-term leave and taught science and math for the students in lower grades for two months. During my under graduate days some of my friends and I formed a committee for our branch which exists even today and is maintained by junior students. We organized group discussions, mock interviews, speeches and books exchange medium. These are some of the activities that I can highlight.
