Bachelor's in technology (B.Tech) from a Tier-1 Indian institute.

Extensive experience working with international clients across Asia and Europe, and government clients in India, Qatar, and Kazakhstan
Transitioning to a career in finance/financial consulting post-MBA.
Other involvements: Led multiple clubs in the university, have extensive volunteering experience with NGOs and the United Nations Online Volunteering Program and currently I am a member of the firm's DE&I team.
Kindly suggest other schools I can consider for this admission season.

Considering your profile, you have a good GPA but considering your 1st choice programs you can try working on the GMAT score a bit. Seeing that you are applying for R2, try giving GMAT another shot and keep 675+ as your minimum target. This will definitely boost your chances. Being a female applicant has its own advantages that is why this score will work.
You also need to make sure that your application essays reflect your strong professional + leadership experience as well highlight all the international experience you bring to the table. Clarity of post-MBA goals are a must & they need to clearly depicted in your essays and how each specific school will be critical in helping you achieve the same. Your extra-curriculars & volunteering work + DE&I involvement will give you brownie points.
Interact with alumni of these schools and having strong recommendations will be a big plus for your admit chances.
