I want to add - before somebody accuses me of being excessively elitist - that Ross awards 4.3 for A+’s and therefore has somewhat more grade inflation than does Wharton. So there’s an element of contextualizing the academic record as well.

That depends - did you go to Ross or Wharton? (You don’t have to answer, just be aware that it might influence the relative strength of your application in the eyes of adcoms)

Stern - no grade inflation, known for the curve actually

Avg at Columbia and Kellogg is slightly below 720, the others in between 720-730. You're in the range, I would say

My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.
