I think you do.
You can apply anywhere frankly. You can apply to the Top 10 and would get in as long as you have a great resume, LOR's, and application essays
If your apps are not stellar, you should look for the average GMAT at the target schools if you are within the 80%, then you are good. If you are around the average score, you are doing well, and if above, then you are golden from that perspective, though GMAT is not everything. Remember, average GMAT is 530 (that's 50th percentile) and 640 is not a bad score and should not keep you out of any school. Just as 760 wont' guarantee an admission into any school either (as long as they are not trying to buy up gmat scores).
One thought - some of the top 70/100 schools do give scholarships to those with 700+, that could be a motivation for you.
Thanks for your advice....
I'm planning to apply to Purdue(Krarnett School of business avg gmat score was around 640+), University of California Davis, Texas A&M(avg score was bit high for this school).... The rankings of these schools were in the range 20-45 or so
Also I heard a lot abt this Avg IT Indian Male... Will this also affect my chances???
I'm planning to major in finance.....
