Your list is actually pretty good you will just be on the fringe of competitiveness so applying still makes sense even if you do not want to re-take. I think your score is more of a concern given your career choice and less so for admission but I would add Georgetown and NYU into your list and maybe swap out Ross and UVA since I thing those other schools are probably a better fit for your career goals. I like Cornell the most for your profile.

Good Luck!

I'm surprised you suggested adding NYU. Isn't there average GMAT around 720? That seems even further out of my reach?

NYU would be a great fit on the career side for you given the NY location and proximity to Wall St. and strong IB recruiting, it is out of your GMAT range but wanted to give you an additional stretch option to consider

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have some strong numbers on paper, particularly with 740 GMAT score. Your very common work experience coming out of a very crowded applicant pool (Indian MBA) will make it tough for you to stand out. It would have been nice to have some ECs to work with to try and do this but this also an area of weakness for you.

I still think you should be in play at the schools listed but you will need to really find a way to brand your candidacy to help stand out from the crowd at these programs.

Hope this helps!
