Dear Sir,
Very good to hear from you!
So first and foremost I would like to say that without an actual GMAT it can be hard to make a profile evaluation. For the purposes of this one, I will assume a 700 GMAT which you say you have been mocking.
So I'm afraid that with your current GMAT and profile, most of the schools you mentioned will be out of range. Only Foster is a realistic option for you.
Why? There are many weaknesses in your profile that will make top 15 schools very tough:
- Low GMAT (if it's a 700)
- Low GPA
- Non IIT
- The toughest applicant pool in the universe (Indian/Male/Tech)
- Non top employer
So all in all, I think a more realistic range would be in the 15-30/40 range (with a 700). I would suggest looking further into schools that appeal to you within this range.
Best,
Jon
