prihi,
Your GMAT percentile and HEC's published stats of their average GMAT should give you a good idea already. Without more details on your profile, work ex and Acads, some generic guesses could be as follows:
1. There are quite a few programs with similar course structures, and leading to similar career objectives. Will suggest you to take a look at your options.
2. Retaking the GMAT (or GRE where applicable would certainly help make your case more competitive, and for greater chances at Scholarships.
3. Depending on which third-world country, and your representation, much could change

Happy to discuss
