Hi invincible,

Thanks for writing in and sharing your profile. As I'm sure you know, Indian males with IT backgrounds is a heavily represented group in the applicant pool, so you will want to make sure you differentiate yourself, perhaps by discussing your community service work.

It also sounds like you've had some professional success, which will help you in the work experience column. As most of the schools you mention have median GMATs in the high-600s/low-700s, I would consider taking a practice exam or two and evaluating if taking the GMAT again could raise your score a reasonable amount. This currently sticks out as the main weakness in your profile.

Best of luck,
