Hello,
Please review my profile.
Nationality : Indian
Grad School: PTU, 81.21/100
GMAT: 620 (Q48,V28,IR7)
Work-ex: 2.5 years (till now)
I am working as a consultant(IT) for a Big four.
Work ex:
1) Worked as the lead for Security
2) Great client appreciation.
3) Flexible working hours.
4) Provided SAP based training.
I don’t have any work-ex outside India, though I have regularly worked with teams from different countries.
There are few other important works that I have done like I was given additional responsibility during my first two years to mentor new joinees in our department.
NGO Experience:
I haven't really worked for an NGO, but I have relevant exerience in teaching under-privileged families. I have been mentoring, coaching, and at times raising funds for their education. But I don't have any certificates to prove this. Be sure to really explain the impact if you can.
Extra-curriculars:
Have managed fest in college, founded quizzing club, was part of publicity team.
Choreographed a performance for the firm's annual event.
Participated in 10K runs (if that counts).
I am interested in Strategy or Human resources(MBA). I want to know if there are better schools that ask lower GMAT score for MS in MIS.
Target schools : Texas A&M University, Rice, Michigan, Kelly, & Tepper.
Are these schools over ambitious for me ?

I'm afraid they are. The simple fact is, most of these schools will be inundated with Indian candidates who have the same plusses you do, but have way higher GMAT scores, work experience, etc. You must get the verbal up, unfortunately. I can help you with this after R2 deadlines. Wouldn't recommend applying this year. If your GMAT is low, European schools are an idea (yes, pending Brexit outcome) but they like more work experience. Btw, if interested in HR Vanderbilt should be on the list.

Thanks Farrell!
I will try to pull my verbal up. But, is it possible to craft an application that helps me get into a decent B-school with this GMAT score? I really want to make it through Texas A&M.
My TOEFL score is 110. (Would this help cover up my pathetic verbal score?)
About the European universities, I am a little skeptic about the scope of work for foreign students. I don't think UK provides work visas to foreign students.
Note: Unfortunately, I am not sure if I can write the test again until June, next year. I am open for Masters in information systems.
But, if we can do this, I am in for another sprint. Please help me understand, what could be done for a better verbal score.
