Hi LK,
It sounds like you've put together a solid overall timeline/plan (including giving yourself enough time to study for the GMAT), but it still needs some additional specifics.
When it comes to applying to Business School, you really need to define WHY you want that degree. Is there a particular field that you want to work in or company that you want to work for? Is there a specific career path that you want to follow? In essence, what do you want that degree to do for you? Once you have those answers, you should be able to narrow down your list of potential Business Schools and then you can research the data on those Schools/Programs.
Without a GMAT score, it's tough to assess anyone's "chances" at getting accepted to any particular School. As a general rule, you'll want to be at, or above, the 80th percentile overall (650+) but if you have a strong enough overall profile, then you wouldn't necessarily require that high of a GMAT score (we've worked with applicants who've gotten into Harvard with scores as low as 630, so I can confirm that you don't *need* a 700+ go get into a Top Program...although it certainly helps make it easier for the Admissions Officers to say 'yes').
Have you thought about (or researched) any specific Schools yet?
What is your goal score for the GMAT?

Hi Lalith,
Trust all is well at your end!
You have an excellent profile in aspects of work experience, leadership qualities, extra circulars and your GPA.
1. Ans: You can have very good chances to apply for Ivy League business schools.
2. Ans: Many b-schools don’t expect 2nd MBA and very few agree to take for 2nd MBA, like Cornell University, MIT (Sloan) and so forth. But your reason should be solid, why you are interested in doing 2nd MBA.
3. Ans: Your GMAT score should be above 720+
4. Ans: For GMAT preparation you can attend on-line classes, or you can refer the book as your already engaged with the same. Make sure you give more mock test and get good score in you real GMAT test.
Wish you all the very best!
Cheers!
