Hey dude!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I was on the road for about 10 there, so I'm catching up on things just now.
So I like your profile. It's true that your GPA is a bit on the low side, and maybe you don't work for the most famous company in the world, but you have good solid work experience and let's be honest a 6.6 is not so bad for an NIT
But whats really good is your school list. I feel like you have chosen a nice good range of Top and Tier II schools, and I feel that this mix of schools if you apply to them all should do you justice.
You might also look into Anderson or Tepper, as I feel either of these schools could also fit your profile, but that's up to you.
As a final note, let me just say that your biggest challenge will be to make yourself a UNIQUE profile! I mean - what is speical about you? What is your story? What are your dreams? If you can make that clear, you will be golden.
Best,
Jon
