Ms. Senior Associate, with 6+ years experience, got into Darden with a GRE score of 316 :clap:
Quote:
I had a phenomenal experience working with MBA and Beyond, and I’m thrilled to leave a 5-star review. I opted for the 5 school package and applied to 2 schools in round 1. Despite having a GRE score of 316, my consultant worked magic with my application.


He helped me pick the most compelling stories from my life and meticulously tailored my narrative for each school. The result? I received interview invites from both schools, one of which is a high-ranking M7 institution, and the other is a T15 school. Moreover, I already have an admission from one of them with the potential of a 100% scholarship. It’s incredible!


Throughout the process, I thoroughly enjoyed working with MBA and Beyond. My consultant made it stress-free and was exceptionally helpful. He not only met but exceeded my expectations. I am more than happy to recommend them. Their greatest strength lies in their ability to unlock your potential and present your story in the most compelling way. As for their weakest skill, I honestly couldn’t find any.


I’m eagerly looking forward to collaborating with MBA and Beyond for round 2 as I take the moonshot. If you’re considering an admissions consultant, MBA and Beyond is the way to go. They make the impossible possible.


Thank you to the entire team and especially to Kastur for making my dreams come true!

­Hey, please help me evaluate my profile MBAandBeyond


I’m currently a Strategy Manager at Deloitte Consulting in Paris, where I’ve been working since July 2021. My role involves leading strategic projects for clients in the financial services sector, which has been both challenging and rewarding. I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, and my career began as a Senior Analyst at Oliver Wyman. There, I spent nearly four years diving into financial analysis, crafting strategic recommendations, and supporting senior consultants. Before that, I got my start as a Business Analyst Intern at EY Advisory, where I learned the ropes of consulting.

With a GMAT score of 715, I’ve demonstrated my strong analytical skills. I’m looking to move into a Director role at Deloitte, focusing on digital transformation, and eventually aim for an executive position at a global consulting firm. I take pride in my strategic planning abilities and my track record of managing complex projects and delivering results. For example, I led a major project that improved operational efficiency for a financial institution by 20%, and I was recognized as a “Top Performer” at Deloitte for my client work. I also developed a market entry strategy that helped a European tech firm make a successful launch.

Outside of work, I’m involved in mentoring young professionals through the Paris Business Women Network and organizing alumni events for Université Toulouse 1 Capitole. I’m passionate about what I do and find motivation in both professional and personal growth.


I’m keen to understand if my profile aligns well with HEC Paris ?­

Hey, MBArusher



You've got a solid foundation for getting an MBA and moving into a strategic leadership job, thanks to your strong academic record and relevant work at Google. To make your profile even better, try to grow your leadership skills by taking on more responsibilities at work, actively connecting with alumni and industry experts, and doing more mentoring or community service. Think about getting certifications in product management or data analysis to boost your expertise, and explain your career goals in your application. By doing these things, you can make your MBA application stronger and set yourself up well for a strategic leadership role down the road.



Good luck :D

Mr. Valuation Advisor (LBS- 25,000 GBP Scholarship, INSEAD)




Quote:
When I started contemplating my MBA plan, I soon realized that the application journey was a long marathon and I would need support from an experienced runner. Thus, started my hunt for the best consultant who could guide me in the process. I had the following criteria in mind:

1. Admission consultant who has graduated from a top B school and has been through the application journey.

2. Admission consultant recommended by candidates who successfully made it to my dream schools (LBS, INSEAD).

3. Admission consultant following a structured and well-thought-out process.

MBA & Beyond fulfilled all the criteria above and beyond (true to their name!). That’s how my application journey started with my consultant and the team at MBA and Beyond. Right from the first introductory call to the content gathering, essay drafts, mock interview preparation, and scholarship strategy, my consultant’s feedback was always on point and extremely helpful.

I applied to two schools (LBS and INSEAD) and was very fortunate to receive admits from both schools. Without MBA & Beyond, I wouldn’t have secured such an outstanding outcome. I would wholeheartedly recommend MBA & Beyond to anyone seeking guidance for admission to top business schools around the world.­

Hello MBAandBeyond please evaluate my profile


With a GMAT score of 685 and over five years of experience as a Senior Business Analyst at Wipro in Bengaluru, I have consistently delivered impactful results, including a 20% increase in operational efficiency and a 40% reduction in reporting turnaround time. I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Delhi, and have been recognized with the "Employee of the Year" award. My leadership experience includes serving as President of the SRCC Alumni Association and leading a CSR initiative at Wipro that improved digital literacy in rural areas. I’m also a Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) with interests in traveling and cooking. My career goals include transitioning into strategic management and eventually becoming a Chief Strategy Officer.

I have a GRE score of 325, achieved in June 2024. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s in Data Science (3.8 GPA).

Currently, I work as a Data Analyst at Google, where I developed a predictive model that increased user engagement by 15%. Previously, I interned at IBM Research, contributing to a published paper on machine learning algorithms.

I am skilled in Python, R, and data visualization tools like Tableau. My accomplishments include receiving the "Outstanding Graduate Student Award" and the "IBM Excellence Award," and I actively mentor through the Women in Data Science (WiDS) organization.

I am enthusiastic about pursuing an MBA at INSEAD to blend my technical expertise with strategic business insights and drive innovation on a global scale.
