Arun,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Although we don’t often work with candidates applying outside of the top-20, my limited understanding of the competitiveness of these programs informs my opinion that you would indeed be competitive, with the exception of UNC. However, considering that these schools are safe, you might take a stab at UNC, which would be a reach. Of course, a higher GMAT should help you. If you can raise your score significantly and tell the story of management and international experience, you may be able to take a run at this reach school as well.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Shinewald
