Hi harshchamp,
Thanks for posting. You have a very strong application. Congratulations on your excellent GMAT score as well. Your numbers indicate that you have the intellect and focus to thrive in a top tier MBA program. Nothing about your story makes me think there is any reason why you cannot be admitted, but nothing stands out telling me why you should be admitted. All of the reasons why a top program would admit you are in the details of your work experience, personal experiences, personality, values and overall story.
I recommend you read this case study of an Indian engineer who was accepted into a top MBA program. One of the areas he focused on was differentiating his application through his leadership experience: https://www.stacyblackman.com/comprehens ... ies/case2/
If you'd like, we also provide free 30 minute phone consultations here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/
Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Considering adding McCombs/UT and Jones/Rice.
Given your career goals, the alumni network and ability to network are advantages at both of these schools. Also, both are in good-sized cities.
