My main concern is whether my 7.6 CGPA will significantly hurt my chances, even with a strong GMAT score.

Would love to hear from anyone with a similar CGPA/profile who applied to these schools recently (2025–26), especially if you got an admit/rejection.

Which schools would you consider realistic / reach / extremely unlikely for my profile?

Thanks!
