Hey there!
Great to hear fro you!
So first of all, your profile is solid gold!
I'm serious. And I don't say it often.
You are female, in an industry veeeery underrepresented by females, from the best school in India (incidentally the one which sends the majority of folks to top MBAs with a very strong GMAT). You work at a strong MBA feeder firm, you have strong international experience, and seem to have decent ECs.
So just get your story together, and apply.
Your school list is good. I would also consider: HBS, Sloan
Best,
Jon

Really nice profile here. Your combination of strong scores and a top undergrad coupled with being underrepresented (woman) working in a male dominated industry should make you very attractive to your target programs. Focus on putting together a strong application and reccs and you should be competitive.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
