Thanks for posting in our forum.

ZS is a great firm and you have a good GMAT score, though your verbal score could be higher for some of top tier schools. However, there is a lot more to someone's application than their GMAT score and work experience. Can you please provide more information? Where did you go to school and what was your major? What was your GPA? What kind of extracurricular activities or awards can you tout from college? Are you involved in any leadership efforts in or outside of work?

Also, what kind of school are you targeting? Are you going for the best you can get into or do you have any preferences in terms of geography, focus area, class size, etc.?

Your best bet is to schedule a free consultation with us. We can confidentially discuss your profile in more depth, help you build a preliminary school list and walk you through our application support services. That would be way more productive than an anonymous posting.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi Admission Ado,

I have done my graduation ( B.E - Electronics and Communication Engineering ) from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, India with a CGPA of 9.04/10 (90.4%) . Also I have been a 2 time merit scholarship holder (2 consecutive years ) in my college .

My 10th class CGPA has been 10 CGPA (95 %) and 12th class percentage has been 91.8%

I have worked for 2 clubs in my college -:

1) Cultural club in which I was a part of the event organizing team and played a role of a cultural head i.e talking to the managers of renowned musicians and sufi artists , planning out the cultural events etc.

2) Science & Maths Club - Here I was a part of their management team wherein I helped them organize several fun maths & science challenges.

I have worked for 2 NGO’s as well -:

One was a Wildlife conservation NGO wherein I was a part of the team which rescued animals on road which were hurt ( due to accidents with cars etc.)

Second was an NGO wherein I taught underprivileged kids and helped them gather resources such as school books , school bags etc.


In ZS, I have been working closely with a US pharma client and i handle their sales incentive compensation and goal setting . I analyze extensive retail and outlet level sales data to create useful insights and also do call planning for field reps to optimize customer reach . I have also provided ad hoc analytical support for clients to help cater to varying demands from field representatives.
Working at ZS has led me learning about a lot of new dimensions of how the industry works , also analyzing the real sales data helps understanding the different areas where things can be improved to get better profits for the company .

This all has led me to derive insights and look in those directions which are generally ignored by us.

Look forward to your response!

Thank you for sharing all of this information! You have a nice profile with some good work experience (though you will be on the young side, which may hurt your chances slightly)and some quality extracurricular activities. You also bring nice grades to the table along with a solid GMAT (though for your competitive demographic, getting a 730+ is marginally better).

However, I didn't get an answer to my questions about schools:
"Also, what kind of school are you targeting? Are you going for the best you can get into or do you have any preferences in terms of geography, focus area, class size, etc.?"

That will help me give you a general range based on your interests.
