I think the topic about US grade flation isn't talked about as much as it should. My GPA in the US is equivalent to 3+ but in Australia Its sub 3

I gave my gmat on 23rd sept, 2019. I scored a 690 (Q48,V35, second attempt). I am a test engineer in wipro with 2 yrs of workex in ENU domain.
I have sent my score to NUS, ISB, Stern business school, Notre Dame business school and SAID Business school.
Do i have a fair chance of getting into these b schools, given my score and workex?

All suggestions and views are appreciated..!

I feel strongly that Indians need to have a GMAT score at least 20 points over the class average. That is for those with an exceptionally strong profile. Can you hire a verbal tutor and pick up some points now that you have some momentum? When it comes to the GMAT, especially for Indians, its not is this good enough, the question is do you have a better score in you? Is this the absolute maximum success you can achieve? If the GMAT is good, they can forgive the grades in many cases, given a good explanation and if they are really bad grades, some demonstration of aptitude/commitment such as a CFA.
