If you aspire for a career in FAANG, you will need change your school shortlist. Darden, Fuqua, Yale are solid for consulting, but not the best in the market for PM roles in Big Tech, further being in East Coast they are at a locational disadvantage, these programs do a solid job on East Coast. Think about adding Tepper, UCLA Anderson, and maybe USC/Foster to mix. Mccombs and Ross are solid programs for tech recruiting. Kellogg, MIT, Haas again really good for Tech recruiting, but maybe on the ambitious side for your profile.
Your overall profile looks pretty good, focusing on the applications will be a key for success. All the best!

Lakshya - if you consider your applications as a buyer-seller scenario, what are you offering to the buyer? Is it a compelling product? The combination of a near-par GMAT score, a GPA much lower than schools average's, and your aspiration for Tech PM in FAANG leaves very schools where your candidacy can be strong. While I wish you the best for R1 applications, should (God forbid) things don't work out, consider revisiting your strategies and rethinking what variables you can control. Improving your GMAT to offset the GPA is an important consideration for you.
