Hi. What would your advice if I haven’t had really impactful work experiences. What could I highlight
When adcoms look at your CV they are basically looking at two things:
1. How has your career progressed? Have you taken on additional roles and responsibilities along the way
2. Does your existing skill set has any transferable skills to your post-MBA goals.

Also, I believe that if everyone had a perfect resume already then there would be not point of doing an MBA.

You need to really filter and introspect how to best present your existing work.

Sure. I got a 650 the first time I took it and then I got a 700 and then finally a 710.

Thanks! Do you see Indians going into marketing roles post MBA? I feel like consulting and finance are most represented

Consulting and finance are most represented because a) There are more jobs there b) Most not all companies in these two domains are happy to sponsor international students for H1B visa.
Few international students go for marketing but if you talk to somebody who has done an internship or is working full-time in this role, they will tell you what companies and which roles to target.

Alright thanks!
Would you say its more difficult to get sponsorship for marketing roles vs consulting roles

That information is readily available on the job portal/job application forms. This is disclosed in the public domain so as an international you only target roles where visa sponsorship is available. That being said I can tell you about this in detail for consulting since I would be recruiting for that but for marketing I can find someone to connect with whom you can connect.

Great question..
Yes I did, I was fortunate to receive an 80% scholarship.
If you are a female candidate with a strong GMAt (700+) they odds of getting a scholarship are in your favour.

I have also seen Indian male candidates with good profile and 730+ GMAT getting substantial scholarship.

Oh wow that’s great!
Did you have to fill out a separate application?

No in most US B-schools you don’t need to file any separate application for a scholarship. Some might ask for some additional essays but that is about it. You are automatically considered for merit based scholarship based on the strength of your profile.
