Focus on schools outside of H/S/W - your chances are slim there. Your background (Indian engineer) is pretty much a non-starter there.
Chicago, Kellogg, Columbia, Sloan, Tuck - stretch; you have an outside shot with your GMAT; it really comes down to a bit of luck assuming exceptional applications
Focus on schools like Haas, Duke, Darden, Michigan, UCLA, NYU, Cornell, Yale. These are schools where you'll have a more realistic shot. Choose 3-5 from this list.
As for safeties, they'll be schools outside the top 16 such as Georgetown, USC, UNC, Tepper, Texas, etc. Choose maybe 1-2 from this list.
