Hello team,

Looking for any help i can find to analyse my straight up rejection by IMD within few days of my mba application.

My profile:
Indian, 33Male

Work ex: 8years with 3 promotions, currently working as a senior manager leading a team of 12 consultants (customer: Big pharma giant based in switzerland)

ACADEMICS: Masters and bachelors from IIT (top3 in india). Masters GPA=4/4, bachelors gpa: 2.9/4, academic distinction and institute excellence award for masters

GMAT: 700

Extracurriculars: decent but mostly from 7-8yrs ago

LORs: good recommendation from client

Used the additional info section to highlight how i got into consulting after studying engineering

Career Goals:
1. Looking to switch geography to switzerland post IMD
2. Expecting a vertical jump in current role within the same industry
3. I already have a Network of colleagues and customers in switzerland


What could have worked against my application:
1. No presence on linkedin (i find the platform toxic and unbearable)
2. In finance section of the imd application, i explicitly mentioned that i would be looking to fund 40% of the total mba cost through loans and 40% through IMD scholarships.
__________________________________________

Looking for any feedback on my profile and rejection or any inputs on which schools should i target next? I am looking for a 1 year MBA program with an average age of 30+ years.

Hello Team Fortuna, it would be very helpful if you could evaluate my profile and suggest which colleges to apply to.

· Demographics : 25 Male, Indian

· Education : Mechanical Engineering from a Tier 2 University, CGPA - 7.63/10

· GMAT : 700 (Q48 V38 IR6), planning to take it again and increase it 720-740.

· Work experience : 3.5 years ( 4.5 by Fall Intake 2024 ), I work in my dad's company as managing partner. I'm the only heir to the business. It's a contract manufacturing company catering to OEMs. After I joined in 2020, we managed to clock in a revenue of 1.1m USD in the previous fiscal year from the pre-covid levels of 500-600k USD, I'm the contact point for our clients and have a very good relationship with our longest standing client(30 yrs). While I'm not the sole reason for the improvement in business, I can surely say I have helped in organizing the workflow and getting more orders from clients. Also I have managed to add another major client.

· Extracurricular activities : Nothing intense or special, had been a part of the official photography club during my UG where we were assigned to record and photographs most of the cultural events.

· Post-MBA goals: I intend to come back to the business soon after graduating, and concentrate more on taking the company to the next level.

· Target schools: Not even sure which colleges I can get into considering my profile, I have been interested very much in the programs offered by Columbia (J- Term), INSEAD, Cornell 1 Year MBA, IESE, Cambridge, LBS. Honestly, I don't fancy my chances here, any good university is also fine.
My preference is 1 Year programs only.

So the reason I want to do an MBA is that I thought earlier that a mechanical engineering degree was enough to take care of our business, while this is true, I felt it's not enough for me to scale the business to the next level. And also felt that an MBA would help me in the future.
Any suggestions on which colleges to concentrate or any improvements to be made in my profile would be deeply appreciated.

Profile Evaluation Request

Demographics : Indian Male, Non Engineering, Age 23

Professional Background: Worked in Analytics Ops(Global Firm) & Finance (Mid Sized Firm in India). Not very long stints so no major awards. Seniors definitely appreciate the work and ratings have been wonderful. My Finance work experience was revolving around M&A projects that are a major part of Investment Banking Advisory and PEVC Industries

Academics: State University in India for Undergrad (BBA), not top ranked. GPA comes to be 4/4 on GMAT scale overall 79.2%.

Extracurricular Activities: National Award in 2 competitions, National Finalist in a few others. Volunteered with Red Cross, JCI, NSS on impactful projects like Industrial Area blood donation camps with significant volume of collections in 2 days.

Entrepreneurial Ventures: Didn't attempt anything but now am wondering of leaving job and focusing on an Idea, so nothing for now.

Post-MBA Aspirations: Core Finance (Investment Banking/PEVC) or Consulting in Financial Markets or related spaces

GMAT: Standardized Test scores are valid. GMAT 770 (Q50 V46) and IELTS 8.5

I'd like to know how we can fare in T20 B Schools with good alumni presence and industry connect in IB,PEVC and Consulting.
