What constitutes "average" is very subjective. That said, aside from your GMAT score, you probably have a middle-of-the-road profile. You have some good work experience, extracurricular activities, academic performance, etc. What makes it "average" (less below-average) is that there's nothing that "pops" from your background other than maybe a focus on robotics. Plus, you are coming from a competitive demographic, so the need to "pop" is even more important.

Thankfully, you are wise in not targeting the top-top programs. You will get in somewhere. The key is trying to bump up the GMAT score, writing really good essays, and having a well put-together resume/CV. Those additional factors can really help an otherwise "average" profile stand out.

This is what my team and I are really good at doing. I strongly urge you to get some time with us so we can discuss further. If not, good luck to you!

Best,
