Thanks for sharing your profile. Numerically you are competitive at these schools. However as someone with a very typical Indian background you will have to work to differentiate yourself amongst a very crowded pool. I do think you are targeting the right schools which should give you a good shot at these schools. But focus on sharing personal anecdotes and link personal interests to professional passions and this will heighten your chances.

Hope this helps!

I see you have several choices of schools around the world, but consider where you want to work post MBA and strongly consider schools in the same or similar geographic region.

There's certainly a chance at the schools you list, but it would help if you could get the GMAT score up a bit. Being in the 80% range is good, but being above the average gives schools an extra incentive to bring you in, because you help boost their scores. It also helps to have H1B visa status, but it does not appear that's the case. Companies like to see H1B because it shows other companies have stepped forward on your behalf already.
