Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. As your profile stands now, I think those schools will be very challenging, especially Harvard, which is one of the most selective and tends to put a big emphasis on GPA from what I've seen. Your lower amount of work experience will be a challenge too, plus the strong competition from other engineering applicants from India. I would take the time that you need with the GMAT so you can get a 750. If you can reach that score, then a school like Kellogg could be in play, though it's hard to predict chances of scholarship and your low GPA may make that challenging at such a top school. If you want to boost your chance of scholarship, then I would mix in some lower ranking schools too.
Hope this helps and good luck with the GMAT!
