Dear all, I am excited to be a part of GMAT community, and I sincerely hope to be a helpful resource for MBA applicants. I am a Ph.D. in English with three decades of teaching experience in both India and the US. As an English teacher, I have helped thousands of students write/refine their academic and personal statement essays and secure fellowships . In 2011, I founded myEssayReview with the belief that all applicants possess unique perspectives and life experiences that set them apart. Therefore, I consistently aim at translating their uniqueness into compelling and persuasive admission essays. I am a full time consultant and am passionate about my work. I take pride in saying that 90% of my students have been accepted into top schools such as LBS, Chicago Booth, Darden, UCLA, MIT, Ross, Kellogg, ISB, CMU, Manchester, Haas, Duke, Emory Columbia, Cornell Darden, Kelley, Ross, Kellogg, UCLA, Yale, Haas, CMU, Emory, Cornell, Ivy Richards, Rice, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Wisconsin etc. My students with high GMAT scores (typically 700+) have not only secured admissions but also fellowships from schools such as Darden, Kellogg , Emory, Cornell, Duke, IE, CMU, Ross, UC Davis, UCLA, Yale, Ivy Richards, and Tippie. Some of my students, with scores between 610 – 680, have secured admission to prestigious schools such as Kellogg, LBS, Booth, ISB, CMU, Manchester, Haas, and Duke. I am delighted to say that I have also helped many reapplicants get admitted to their dream schools such as ISB, Chicago Booth, Columbia and Maryland. How do I work? A big part of my counseling is storytelling. I will assist you on the path to reflection and discovery I will pull the right stories out of you and help you showcase them well to bring out your best personal and professional self. I will not generate the content for you but will help you find your own voice. After you sign up with myEssayReview I will thoroughly review your resume and the first draft of the essay and will schedule one hour skype/telephonic meeting to discuss your resume (your career progression, biggest accomplishments, skills, interests etc.), brainstorm ideas/stories to be incorporated in your essays, discuss my suggestions/feedback on your essay(s), and also answer/clarify any questions or doubts you have for me. This will be followed by up to 4-comprehensive critiques and edits until a polished, refined product is created that showcases your candidacy in the best possible manner. During the entire process, I will work with you to highlight those aspects of your personality that you yourself may were not be aware of. Looking at the final product, most candidates get so thrilled that they say that they couldn't believe their essay would turn out so well. I believe that every customer deserves the best. Hence, I do not segment the packages into Silver, Gold, or Platinum. I will provide you the same level of service regardless of whether you purchase a single essay or a 3-school package. I would go above and beyond to ensure that your application showcases your candidacy in the best light. My life-long association with students in India and the US as a teacher, and with applicants from all over the world as a consultant has provided me with a unique insight into strengths and weaknesses of applicants from diverse ethnic backgrounds which helps me in guiding them accordingly. Working with me will remind you of your experience of working with your most favorite teacher who had a genuine interest in ensuring your success and was always willing to go an extra mile to ensure the same.

shubhamg763

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!
