Hi there,
Some relevant bits would be the business impact of your work. As I understand, you are involved in the business decisions and deal sourcing, other than just working as an architect. That's a great point, and this 'business skill' will be more relevant in your applications as compared to the technical skills as an architect. Even for the project management bit, you can make your work experience relevant- you talked about empathetic leadership, and this would reflect in how you deal with your contractors, workers and other stakeholder to get work done as part of your day to day implementation work.
With the b-schools you have mentioned here, a 329 GRE will be a tad less, so i would suggest to bring that score up to a 331-332+
Also, look at MBA programs that have concentrations or certifications on RE/ RE finance - Columbia, UCLA, Stern, Ross and Kellogg come immediately to mind. If you wish to be in the industry long term, these will definitely help.

I'd like to also understand about your undergrad degree, marks and ECA to give a holistic picture about your profile. Feel free to reach out for a more derailed profile evaluation.

Decent stats. It will really depend on a) how you (an Indian male) can differentiate yourself from other Indian applicants, b) your career narratives, achievement examples, etc.; and c) the depth of your research when selecting schools; you should select only those that can take you where you want to go (which is linked to point b here). When you say, 'consulting industry to gain external exposure by working in multiple industries/companies', you will also need to step into the shoes of hiring managers and think: 'Why should they hire you? just because you have an MBA?' Consultants need three specific skills, and you'd be expected to showcase those in your applications.

You are looking at some top-ranked programs. While it looks like you can demonstrate impact at work, I feel you may need a higher GRE to safely target the schools you are interested in. I'm not saying you shouldn't apply now - that is entirely your decision. I'm just saying that you will have much better odds if you have a higher score. The post-MBA goal in consulting may not be the best choice - we will need to examine where your current work profile and skills lie, and if that ties in well with consulting, then it's fine. Otherwise, you may be better off revisiting that goal. Happy to have a longer chat - feel free to get in touch: https://bit.ly/GM_AugAcd_Profile_Evaluation

Good luck with your app! Your GRE Score should be great. if you have a low GMAT core, DO NOT SEND it in.

Hey,
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, a 329 GRE and an 8.03 GPA are decent. Leading a family business and securing clients for major real estate companies demonstrates leadership and strong negotiation skills at a young age.

Your focus on empathy-based leadership is impressive and could translate into powerful essays that showcase your unique perspective. While aiming for Yale is awesome (reach), your target list with Darden, Kenan-Flagler, Anderson, and Goizueta is solid. These schools have top-notch real estate programs and would value your experience.

Feel free to connect with us for a deeper analysis. We can help you craft a compelling story that highlights your leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and passion for real estate.
