Hey there good sir,
So the first question I would ask myself if I were you is: Should I retake (GRE or GMAT)? Right now you have a decent GMAT, but a pretty low GPA, and with a higher GMAT you will a) have a higher GMAT (that one was obvious) b) help make up a bit for the poor grades in college. And most people DO score a bit higher on their retakes... so something to think about.
Soo, probably if you were to apply now with your score, you should be aiming for schools in about the 30-60 range. (I'm referring to the US News rankings). And then you should be looking for schools where you fit, and where you would like to go.
If you tell me more about your goals, and send me a short list I can likely help a bit more on that end.
Best,
Jon

Thank you. Actually, I am interested in General Mgmt and I know that these three are not the best of b-schools, but given a choice, which one should I go for among SUNY Buffalo/Binghamton/Alabany. My priorities will be:
1. Post grad job prospects (esp. in the West)
2. Scholarships/grants for Intl applicants (Indian)
