Hey shubhamg763,

I came across your GMAT query on the forum and thought I'd reach out to offer some assistance from my own experience.

So here is what I found:

Strengths:
➡️ High GMAT Score: Your 760 score isn't just a number; it's a signal to admissions committees that you're prepared for the academic rigor of an MBA program. For example, your Q51 indicates exceptional quant skills, which is crucial for finance roles.

➡️ IIT and GPA: IIT Bombay is a brand that carries weight. A GPA of 8.83/10 signifies consistent academic performance. This tag-team of an esteemed institution and a high GPA amplifies your academic credibility.

➡️ Work Experience: 4 years of experience at top financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo is already excellent. Your promotions within a year, especially in a competitive sector like Asset Management, make your profile even more compelling.

➡️ Extracurricular Involvement: The co-founding of a non-profit aimed at supporting underprivileged families shows not just leadership but also social consciousness. Similarly, your role as Student Head of International Relations at IIT further demonstrates leadership and cross-cultural collaboration.


Schools Recommendations:
➡️ Dream: Chicago Booth, Wharton, and Columbia
➡️ Competitive: Cornell, Kellogg, Duke, NYU
➡️ Safe: University of Illinois, Foster, University of Massachusetts


Improvements:
➡️ To further enhance your profile, consider publishing thought leadership articles in your area of interest or getting involved in mentorship programs that focus on finance or real estate.
➡️ Showcase your achievements through quantifiable results in work experience, extracurricular activities, volunteer experiences or CSR activities. Remember that GMAT is just 1/4th of your application and the rest depends on you how you craft a compelling application with a strong narrative.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to set up a FREE call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.

Or you can DM me for help!
