Hi
tarunsaberwal Priyanka here from
ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, see, a 615 FE, while decent, is going to make those dream schools a tough climb. Columbia, NYU, Duke, and Berkeley? Those are real reaches. Vanderbilt, still a challenge, but more doable compared to your other target schools.
Your work experience looks solid, though. VC, healthcare finance, your own startup—that's interesting. And the squash, that's a nice touch. Make sure the main highlight of your application is your experience.
If you cannot give a retake and plan to apply with that score, you've got to nail everything else. Storytelling is key. Why MBA? Why now? Numbers talk, so quantify your impact wherever possible. Get killer recommendations. And your essays need to be gold. Your startup is your secret weapon, play that up too.
Honestly, you should think about adding a few safe schools too. And maybe throw in some online courses or volunteer work to show you're serious.
