Hi Aringo

Can you evaluate my Profile I am interested in joining Top 20 Colleges in US.
Have 6 years of experience (including 3 years of internship) from EY India in their Audit and Assurance Division. I am a qualified CA and ACCA (UK) (both are US CPA Equivalent).

Thanks

ARINGO · Answer

This is school dependent. some schools give a bit of a grace period, others are more strict. The most important part is to take the exam and submit scores before the deadline (unless told otherwise by the adcom).

For the GMAT, schools have a login where they can verify your score, but they cannot do this for the GRE, so they are relying on the score report

I’m planning on taking the gmat and i really need a good refresher for the quant questions. I haven’t done math like this in a while

What would be the best resources for me to use?

ARINGO · Answer

INSEAD certainly prefers international experience, but it doesn’t meant that you had to work abroad - you could work in international teams or with international clients/vendors/etc. It is important to make sure to articulate these experiences. Also, since the program is so short, they are looking for candidates with a strong career direction. There isn’t much time for career exploration.

I have 6 yrs of experience in Manufacturing and post MBA goal is to pivot into operation/supply chain consulting roles.

Goyalhemant1999 · Answer

will give my gmat in next week
Post MBA Goal is to be in Management Consulting

ARINGO · Answer

Great - these goals make sense and fit with typical hiring from INSEAD.

from a very general perspective, you can have a good shot at T20 - next will be ensuring GMAT is within range for the schools and then, looking at background and school fit

i have a gap year after my class 12 and a 2 year gap after my college. do i stand a chance of getting admission in any of B-school even if i got a good score in GMAT?

ARINGO · Answer

I think it depends on the reason for the gap after college - the first gap isn’t as relevant to the adcom, unless it fits into your overall reasoning for the gap.

poojaarora1818 · Answer

Hi. Is it true that while shortlisting universities our career goals should align with the course curriculum of the MBA program?

HOCC4Z100 · Answer

so it will all depend on the adcom?

ARINGO · Answer

Yes - some schools have tracks or concentrations that help reinforce why that school is the right fit for you - also look at the employment report to ensure jobs that you want typically recruit at that program well, i’d argue it depends on how you share the information with the adcom. But i’d recommend trying to schedule a call with someone from a few schools you are interested in and share your case to see what they say I’m happy to chat more about this offline with more details - you can email me JeniferT@ARINGO.com or set up a profile eval here https://calendly.com/jenifert-aringo/gmatclub
