Hi, Please evaluate my profile and give me advice.
1)Nationality: Indian
2)10th:91.4%
3)12th:86.7%
4) Bachelors in Technology- NIT Hamirpur- 8.5/10 CGPA (translates to 3.70 GPA)
5) Working as a Software Engineer for 22 months in a US based MNC.
6)Extraciriculars: Photography, Videography, Reading, Sketching.
Held the role of Secretary of Ethics for Cultural Festival and Secretary of Photography, Creative Arts and Webdesign for Technical Festival in College.
Contributed to Tedx community during college.
Currently leading initiative to help colleagues improve their speaking skills at Work.
Also, currently undertaking a course to learn an additional language-German.
7) GMAT score: 690(Q50/V32)
This score was highly unexpected as I was scoring above 700 in my practice tests.
I am unsure whether I can get a good B school with this profile. I am considering retaking the exam, but I need help in taking the final leap.
I am targeting UCLA Anderson, Columbia and Duke Universities.

Hey Dcrux
Thanks for getting in touch!
So from what I understand, NIT Hamirpur is a very good university, which will work in your favor with your strong academic results. BUT...your GMAT in comparison is low for the programs you are targeting and low in comparison to your competition. I think you should apply to the schools that you are targeting, but I'd like you to add USC and Vanderbilt to make sure you have some more diversity in your portfolio of schools. Maybe Georgetown, Notre Dame, Indiana. Make sure you do your research on all the programs and really connect to their offerings while you tell your story!
I hope that helps!
