Hello

I would really appreciate if the experts here can evaluate my profile, thanks.

12th : 75%
B.Teach : 71%

Other work- consultant to another social enterprise, also founder of an international(South Asia) conference series - topic: Peace

Strength : Diverse experience, can actually show a need of academic degree, extensive work as a manager and in leadership positions, leadership initiatives, genuine work experience in non-profit sector

Vaibhav,

Thanks for your post.

I can't comment on XLRI and the IIMs, but for INSEAD and ISB, you shoudl prepare again and retake the GMAT focusing on the verbal, or change your target schools.

Best,
Linda
