Hmmm, I think Top 10 schools might be a little bit out of your range. Although no fault of your own, you are from a tough applicant pool (Indian, Tech, Male), and are a bit on the older side, with (for an Indian) a GMAT that is likely lower than the average for Top 10 schools (What can I say? Indian candidates just test way too high!). That, plus not coming from IIT will make top 10 schools a stretch for you, I am afraid. More realistic would be schools ranked somewhere from 11-40 (this is a rough evaluation).
Hope this helps! (even if it may not be exactly what you wished to hear),
Best,

Thanks, Jon.
Would a higher GMAT score, say 730 cuts it (typical Indian/IT question!!!)?
What would be the stretch zone for me? Would 11-25 be a competitive or stretch zone?
The things is I want to start focusing on schools where I have a chance and if 11-25 are not in reach then I shouldn't even research them, right.
Do I have a chance in Top 10 EU schools?
I know consultants can't do magic but if I choose to work with you and we're able to thrash out a good, polished application how much does that improve my chances? Would a 11-25 be in reach?
I know it's something that you get all the time and the information is way too scarce for you to go on but I still wanted to ask. It's ok if you can not answer it I just wanted to run it past you.
I have heard good things about Admissionado and would like to have a consultation session. Can you provide some details on this as well?
Regards,
Sid
