Hello Karan,
Hope you are doing great.
You have an excellent GMAT and more over your extra circulars also strong enough, you can easily apply to top 20 B-schools in Round 2. If you are able to showcase your strengths to the schools through a strong application, you can have excellent chance. You may also take help of professional consultants to draft and review your essays. Showcase your achievements and extracurricular activities you have in your essays and B-School application.
You can predict other competitive b-schools as well, such as Yale, Darden, DUKE, TUCK, MIT (Sloan), etc.
You may also try Chance of B-school tool https://goo.gl/X2FmFO to gauge your chances for top B-schools.
Best,

Hi,
Just wondering how you selected these programs? Is it solely based on their ranking? Some other very good programs which are strong in IT and are not there in your focus area- think Tepper, UCLA, Ross & Fuqua, you should think of adding a few to your target list. Its a very competitive Indian pool out there, specifically for applicants with your profile.
