HI Nilesh,
Firstly, with barely
Secondly you have a great GMAT score, so take any thoughts of retake to improve IR and AWA out of your mind. Instead spend your energies on writing competitive applications.
You can apply to a mix of colleges- reach and at par. the top 20-22 colleges should be good based upon your career interests and what the school has to offer. I'd like you to think deeper about your career goals. Coming back to family business is mostly not possible for candidates- firstly, the cost of studying is sky rocketing and most students want to earn in $$$ to pay off the loans. Secondly, you may want to gain some international experience, otherwise why not do an MBA in India itself?
For all you know, you may just get employed by one of President Trump's Real estate companies - now, who's miss that chance?

Please advise me some specific schools. I thought of Duke, Haas, Ross, Tuck (being too optimistic?). Is it worth applying in colleges that high in ranking or should I search for other schools of lesser reputation?
