Iampreeti01 , Please ask your question

ARINGO · Answer

Hi, a lot of questions here

Looks like you have good work experience (~10 years) with a focus on tech consulting and data engineering, good! and add to this your International experience with leadership in tech transitions + Involvement in volunteering ,WELL DONE! Open questions / Potential concerns: Need to clarify level of employers/clients (Tier 1 companies? Direct client-facing roles?) Extent of managerial/leadership experience (managing people, budgets, projects?) GMAT score (665+ mentioned — might be considered a bit low for a tech male for MIT/Harvard, but ISB and LBS could still be within reach) Undergraduate school is decent but not globally famous — may need to shine extra in essays, recommendations, and achievements Happy to give you more details and perhaps work together on incredible apps, once you have a GMAT and ready for the applications... (please send me your CV, school wish list, GMAT score and any other relevant info toShimriw@ARINGO.com) GOOD LUCK!

ARINGO · Answer

Your profile sounds interesting! I am missing a lot of info like: Where are you from, gender, hobbies, managerial experience, international experience, promotions, direct client interaction, etc.Andd the biggest question - GMAT

With a 700 GMAT and some good answers to my above questions, you could potentially apply and get accepted into any top MBA program! (I suggest you invest another month only in the GMAT, and if the mocks go higher, contact me on shimriw@aringo.com to discuss further...) SameerSid0410 hi in short - good profile, nice career expansion and hobbies! GMAT is a bit below Wharton and Booth expectations (Still worth trying) but your profile and GMAT are definitely within reach for other schools Feel free to be in touch with me and perhaps we can work together on some amazing stellar apps!

ARINGO · Answer

Hi Das1404 Great to meet you! (so far, I have worked with ~8-9 Turkish candidates with 100% success rate, so if we work togtehr, don’t ruin my stats

From what I can see: You have a very strong profile: - Good and solid technical background with both degrees 6 years of strong work experience at a top brand + clear leadership I love your entrepreneurship experience (need to hear more!) even if the startup closed — it shows initiative!!! Multiple awards always good!!!) GMAT is fine for your profile! and school list is very very good with HBS/MIT being a stretch and the others much more competitive A lot will be riding on your story so you need to focus on strong essays, and recommendation letters to offset a mediocre GMAT happy to discuss further in detail and perhaps work with you on incredible apps - I am always on shimriw@aringo.com GOOD LUCK ! Great sounds like there is "meat" in your profile. focus a few more weeks on the GMAT and be in touch
