Hi Whitemirror,
You have a strong profile, but since you belong to the over-represented IT group, it is key to increase your GMAT score, if you can. Although, we have seen many get in with a 700 score too and with a very similar profile.
Additionally, to differentiate yourself, focus on building a strong application, highlighting key points and showing clarity of thought.
Your focus should be on presenting a stellar application to the admissions committee.
You can PM me for further questions.
Regards,
Tridisha

Hi Mandard,
You have a strong profile that is primed for B-schools. However, along with a good GMAT score, a strong application and impactful essays will be essential to ensure admission.
