Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your profile. Overall you have a solid profile based on the info you've provided here. Your GMAT is stellar, and your work with Deloitte and CPA experiences as well as international exposure is very reputable and also less common among the Indian applicants (many of whom have an IT/engineering profile). Your extra-curricular involvements also sound excellent.
Your goals sound solid though be sure to put a little thought into short term vs long term post-MBA goals.
Stanford is a reach for everyone no matter what given it's low acceptance rate and smaller class size, so that is the biggest reach. Next would be Harvard. But overall IF you nail the essays and rest of the application I would say you would have a chance at many of the schools on your list.
The biggest piece of advice at this point in time is... don't underestimate the impact your essays will make on your decision. Especially since you have a lot of solid components elsewhere on your application. The essays are the ONLY place on the application where you create something from scratch to represent YOU. That is where you explain who you are, what you'll bring to the program, what your goals are and why. It is also where you'll have the chance to demonstrate a fit with each particular program, and if you can make a compelling case for why EACH school you are applying to is right for you (with specific reasons relevant to THAT school), your chances of acceptance will increase.
Be sure to allow plenty of time for working on your essays and revising them. Ideally have someone help you by reading them and providing feedback... an MBA admissions consultant is most ideal, or a friend/colleague who knows business schools well. A consultant can help let you know what you are presenting in the essays you share with them; what you are saying about the person who wrote them.
Good luck on the process and please keep us posted!
