As an international applicant, a lot of scrutiny will be on the GMAT, which you have absolutely a rock solid score on. I think your shot at a top 20 is certainly there. Schools such as H/S/W are, no matter what, going to be long shots only because of the number of applicants and the blue-chip resumes they get. The fact that you work for a MNC is a good thing as it's easier to benchmark you. Overall, I think you have a pretty good shot at getting in. Scholarship-wise, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If I were you, just apply and hope for the best. It's hard enough as it is to gain admission, let alone worry about scholarship. No one's going to be able to say that by applying to the top 20-30 rankings, you'd get 60% of scholarship (this, in itself, would be insane to claim). Just apply to the schools that you're interested in attending and let the chips fall in place by themselves. [if you're really looking for scholarship, spread your chips around a bit and also apply to schools in the top 20-35 range]
