Hello there,
Well congrats on that lovely GMAT! It's a great start! I think with your profile, you should be able to apply within the top 20 MSF programs (exactly how high, is a question). Your GMAT is great and your work experience is quite good. (What are your goals BTW?)
On the other hand, the things that will be challenges are:
- Being an Indian candidate
- From a non-famous UG college
It will also help if you have any good extras in your profile - like volunteer work, clubs, awards, extra curricular activities whilst in university…. any of these can further strengthen your profile.
All the best,
Jon
