Hi Bhavik:
Thank you for your interest in my profile. I waited four years to develop my profile and get clear on what to do post MBA and acquire the necessary experience. Right now I'm open minded. I'm not leaning towards any school in particular. Given your experience as a consultant I have a query - within the top 20 business schools, where would the comfy zone begin and the stretch zone end.
Comfy zone: Strong Candidacy (80% chance of getting accepted)with chance of scholarship
Stretch zone: Competitive Candidacy (50% chance of getting accepted) without scholarship

It definitely shows! I think if you're in 8 - 15 range, those would be aligned. Anything above would be stretch. Anything below and your chances go up. That said - I am not saying 8 - 15 gives you a 50% shot. As an Indian applicant, if you want that kind of security, you want to aim lower. But with that GMAT, definitely give the full spectrum a go!
