Also,i have a basic question in mind: i have got a gmat of 710. few of these schools which i wish to apply have an average of 720. Since i am from a over represented group of applicants does it hamper my chances of getting into these schools? and lets face it..any other indian i meet has got a gmat of no less than 730!so i am a little worried!
thanks! (my apologies for a lengthy mail)

Hello there good sir!
Thanks for dropping by and writing us.
So let's have a look at your profile, overall things looks pretty good, although I think your school list is a bit overambitious, but we'll get to that soon.
The Good Stuff:
- Management! You have REAL leadership! This is fantastic. Not many applications will have led as many people as you. So make sure you write looooots about this in your application.
- Leadership outside of work (volunteer experience).
The Tough Stuff:
- Your grades and your school. Good but not great grades from a tier 3 school are going to make things tough for top 10 programs.
The Questions Marks:
- Your family business: What do they do? How big is it? What is its potential for growth? Since you are now in the family business, a lot will depend on its perceived potential. In general, the bigger the better!
Your GMAT is actually quite good, although you are right that Indians getting into Harvard are scoring averages of 740 and not 710, so that plus your school and grades will likely place HBS and many of the other Top 10 schools out of range. I do think you are an excellent candidate for schools in the 10-30 range however, so I think with a small adjustment on your list, your strategy will be juuuust fine. Apply to Kelly, Ross, maybe Tuck too, but drop the rest, and find a few more schools that appeal to you in this range (UCLA, Goizueta, Georgia Tech), at the end you will likely come back with better results!
I hope this helps out, and if you have any questions/comments/thoughts do not hesitate to write again,
Best,
Jon
