Revankumar hi,
(Shimri from ARINGO here, helping Jenifer :) I head the strategy team and am a London Business School alumnus)

Thanks for sharing your profile
you have a good undergraduate and starting a good professional life (I also like your extracurricular activities)
I can't really give you a chances estimation for 2-3 years from ow
Missing info on the GMAT, and on your career progress

So, instead, I will tell you how to strengthen your profile
1. High GMAT! (Top MBA averages are 730 and you come from a super overrepresented profile)
2. Try to get a promotion... or even 2
3. Try to manage people
4. Try to have some sort of international experience (working with clients from abroad etc.)

When it gets to actually applying, talk to know and I will try to give you a better chances assessment...
As always I am on shimriw@ARINGO.com
Good luck!
Shimri

Hi shambu,

    Extracurricular activities - Sports and clubs are great, show how they correlate with specific program orgs and ones you want to join/take leaderships in
    Work Experience - 3 promotions in 5 years, managing large team - excellent, cross functional and international - most important - leverage this! shows how you understand all parts of business and how they work together, will have good examples in class and advice for peers. Career goals are spot on!
    School wish list – Ross, Darden, NYU, Tepper, Tuck, Duke - all fantastic schools with solid management training for next step with the right employers recruiting there!

RamN
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 RamN

Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations
My name is Shimri Winters, I head the strategy team here at ARINGO

You have a very interesting profile! From what I can see:
    Academics – not too worried about this! Your GMAT has “overcome” your average score!)
    Work Experience – I love entrepreneurs – and if you can show managerial experience, successes, failures, growth, etc. this is all just as good as a “regular” job (or even better, as it is more unique)
    GMAT - Well, 760 is fantastic!

Unknown:
    School wish list?
    Extracurricular activities

All in all, sounds like you have a good profile, but I need to know your school list and obviously, the applications need to be amazing (we can help with that)

Happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps if you send me your CV and any other info to Shimriw@ARINGO.com

GOOD LUCK!

I started a business(Digital printing) during my bachelors (just after 2nd semster) in 2018,
I employ 7-8 people,its been running well for last 3 years now ,i graduated in 2020 (CGPA 8.28/10).
Will my Work ex during bachelors be considered? i am aiming for top 20-35 Universities worldwide.I am 22.
Gmat 720. I am resposible for hiring employess to filing tax returns (in short everything required).

Hi,
Shimri from ARINGO here.
your business sounds incredible. BUT MBA programs want to see 2-3 years of post-undergraduate business experience, as a minimum
So, I suggest you wait ~2 more years to increase your chances
GOOD LUCK!
Shimri

Hi VarshaSV

Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations
My name is Shimri Winters, I head the strategy team here at ARINGO

You have a very interesting profile and I like your work experience (Microsoft brand gives you another point or two 😊 )
I also like your career goals – look very realistic (moving to more business roles like product ...)

The simple issue right now is your GMAT!
You will need a 700 + for the top schools (and higher than that for the top schools) so I suggest you focus on that, even if you miss R1, and have a higher GMAT…

Happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps (once you improve the GMAT), so when you have a higher GMAT, feel free to send me your CV and any other info to Shimriw@ARINGO.com

GOOD LUCK!
