Hi Engineer1539
Having evaluated 100s of Indian applicants profiles, I can say your work and extracurricular work experience is decent and would help your application. The US study experience is even better. However, your GMAT score would make the top schools difficult to crack. IE and IESE might be slightly more achievable.
I'd suggest: either retake the GMAT and get 730+ OR reassess your school options and aim for top 15-25 schools.

Thank you. I am considering taking the GMAT again in a month to try and improve my score
The undergrad gpa I believe is low compared to others in the applicant pool. But I have a masters degree with a 3.5 Gpa. How much an advantage would that be ?
