Thank you for your post. If you can crack 720 then a place like McCombs and Duke would be reasonable. Unfortunately the Indian male pool is competitive as you know so anything in the 600s will make it challenging at those programs.
Good luck and reach out if you want to discuss how we can help with GMAT tutoring or admissions consulting!
