You've already applied - hence the timing of seeking profile review is late. The school selection appears very odd, covering extreme ends of the spectrum - I presume there was some science involved therein, especially MIT. I hope you did deep research on the DNA of each school. Though a good GRE score, on its own it may not be sufficient to offset your weak GPA. There is no mention of your plans post MBA, hence difficult to comment thereon.

Hi, I've edited the comments to reflect my post MBA goals. The reason for the choice of these schools is because what they offer aligns with my post mba goals, specifically entrepreneurship and energy. I am still deciding on some more schools to apply to that fit that criteria and will update when I decide about the colleges for round 2.

Are you looking to return to India (or the UAE) to start your own renewable energy company straight after your MBA? Or planning to set up in the USA? Do not lose sight of visa requirements in the USA specifically. This is not a concern if you are returning to India or if you have a UAE Golden Visa (or will take one). This seemingly trivial point, if missed in your career narrative, could cost you admits, since schools will conclude that you haven't thought things through.

You should be a competitive applicant we have had a moderator from a few years ago who had a very similar background. They might’ve gone to UK for their undergrad. I cannot remember but ultimately they got into Harvard. a lot will depend on your professional background and how busy you have been.
