Thanks for your message and sharing your background - on your questions:
1. With respect to your chances at the schools, given that you come from an oversubscribed demographic (Indian male), I see Booth/Wharton/Kellogg as Stretch schools, Tuck/Yale SOM as in between a Stretch/Target, and the others that you have listed as Target schools.
2. I'm on the fence here, but given that you did well in college and in your Master's program and that you are hitting the quant threshold that business schools like to see (Q49), I think you should be okay with your score. It looks like the verbal score is pulling down your score a bit.
3. Other schools that you may want to consider would be Haas (known to be innovative) and Columbia/NYU (given their location).
4. What will really be important is emphasizing your professional accomplishments and your contributions to the community to distinguish yourself within the competitive Indian male pool of candidates.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Shaifali
