Hi Anubhay and thanks for your inquiry.
If you feel confident you can retake the GMAT and raise your score by at least 30 points, then do so as your score is a bit below the average for your demographic at the top schools. (Please note Indian nationals with your GMAT score and lower are admitted into top schools; it is just a little bit more difficult and they need an even stronger ‘wow’ factor and application story.)
I see no reason why you shouldn’t be competitive at the schools you mentioned, particularly those outside of INSEAD, IMD, LBS, Chicago, Darden, and CMU with well-prepared applications. With a decent ‘wow’ factor and well-prepared applications, you would be a slight stretch at the schools I just listed.
Best of luck with your applications!
Sincerely,
David Petersam
