A couple of tips:
1) If you have a 3-year college degree, make sure programs you apply to accept it.

2) Make your  goal much more specific before you apply.

Look into Columbia, NYU, Chicago, CMU, Duke, Michigan, Tuck, UT, and UNC.

Good luck!

Thanks for the add'l info. You do have a competitive profile for CBS and NYU, but those are very competitive schools and there are many Indian software engineers applying. Applying to more than just those two schools.

Also look into CMU Tepper, Haas, Duke, Michigan, UT Austin, UCLA, Cornell, and UNC.

Good luck!
