I am a first generation entrepreneur with 8-9years of entrepreneurial experience. I commenced my business with limited funds and faced a lot of struggles, along the way.


I have completed Bachelors of Pharmacy from Rajiv Gandhi Technical University India,NAAC grade is A .But not well know
( Does Undergrade college matter? How to overcome this if it does? )

I am currently residing in India. I scored 65.3% in my undergrad(Bachelors of Pharmacy)

Low GPA

760 GMAT score, 8 years experience of entrepreneurship, how does this compare with a consulting job, with big brand names?

HI omkarkhanvilkar,
    Academics – good, be sure to share any EC’s during school

    GMAT - great score, especially for your school list, with strong applications, should yield scholarships

    Extracurricular activities - public speaking with NGO is fantastic, you can relate it to case competitions during MBA and leading orgs

    Work Experience - sounds like solid experience, be sure to talk about the impact of these projects, your role and what you accomplished - quantify this for the committees

    School wish list – HEC Paris, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge, IE, IESE, ESADE - Profile is a good fit, academics are in order and you have a good shot at these schools, with a solid application (maybe with help from ARINGO ;) ) they are target and safety schools.
We’d love to help you craft your applications - JeniferT@ARINGO.com

Hi karakootildasan,
    Academics sound good, GMAT 740 would be great

    Extracurricular activities - these are great ways for a committee to see how you would fit in with the cohort, think about how these translate to the events and orgs that the MBA programs have

    Work Experience - international tech consulting is great
School list: INSEAD is going to be looking for international experience prior to application - have you traveled, work outside of India? This will be very important to highlight. All else aligned with your School list. Can consider HEC Paris as well.

    School wish list –
