A lot more science needs to go into selecting schools. For example - what do you want to do post MBA and will a school be able to take you there? Is your plan to try and settle in another country or return home? You won't get a job in country Y if you study in country X. And so much more.

The other aspect you should study is where do your scores stack up against the typical class profile? For most Indians, especially males, your scores need to be much higher that the class average.

@GmA12s ­- Some thoughts and clarifications:

1. The GPA seems alright (given the law school pedigree you've mentioned), but the GRE score could be improved, given the competitive Indian applicant pool.

2. Would like to understand your professional arc better to assess the strength e.g. key projects/ achievements, have you led teams, worked with international teams, etc. And any recent extracurricular involvement, after college?

3. What are your career goals post-MBA?

Shortlisting schools would need a deeper discussion covering several parameters listed here.

Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.

­GmA12s   Hope this finds you well. I am an INSEAD alumna, and former INSEAD MBA interviewer and I have worked with candidates who got into many of these target schools. Your chances for these schools will mostly depend on your career progression in the last 5 years and your research regarding what value these schools can add to your career. Please note that if most of your experience so far has been in India, it will require a good level of research and deliberation to pinpoint why you seek a global career at this point and what companies would value the skills you bring. If you haven't already, you should start reaching out to alumni who are lawyers, industry recruiters and current students with law background to get a broad idea of options that you will have. See what companies might be interested in hiring someone with your skills. I wish you had shared more regarding the kind of projects you have handled in courts and startup law firms.

Feel free to connect for a discussion should you want advice on selecting schools depending on your goals and aspirations and understanding the opportunities after. Happy to help. Retaking the GRE is a good idea, your Q score could be better. Target a 167+ level.

Best wishes

­Hello GmA12s,

Hope this finds you well.

The schools you should target will depend on your career goals.

A detailed profile evaluation will require a lot more details than what you have shared; however, considering you seem interested in targetting the top league of schools, you should look at improving your GRE (if possible). The GMAT is not low (if not stellar); however, a higher test score will only help offset your average GRE score.

The following video might prove to be helpful:



All the best!

Hi _ it is difficult to provide a detailed profile evaluation without looking at your work experience.

Assuming middle-of-the-pack kind of work experience, I would say your GRE is not sufficient for Booth, and T20 US schools (assuming you are male) INSEAD requires international work experience.

So that leaves Oxbridge and LBS. If you've delivered significant impact at work and EC's, then you may be a competitive candidate for these schools.  If not, then you'll have to expand your search.

Hey there GmA12s

Your profile is interesting! With a 326 GRE  and a high GPA from a top Indian law school, you have a competitive foundation for top programs. Law school experience is less common for business schools, but your work experience in courts and startups could be a valuable asset, showcasing your understanding of legal and business environments.

The extracurriculars you mentioned - founding a club, leading national events, debate wins, and pro bono work - demonstrate impressive leadership, initiative, and well-roundedness. However, targeting schools requires a more nuanced approach. While a 326 GRE is decent, some top programs might prefer a higher score. Your GPA is strong, but some schools might have a higher average for Indian institutions due to grading scale differences.

To give you a more precise idea of your fit and chances at specific schools like Oxbridge, LBS, INSEAD, Booth, Wharton, and Stanford, we'd need to delve deeper.  A 1:1 call would allow us to discuss your career goals and specific program preferences and strategize how to present your unique profile best.  We can help you identify schools that value your legal background and craft a compelling application highlighting your strengths.
