Hi,
It'll be great if you could review my profile and suggest on programs with high chances.
Overview
After completing my under graduation, I was sure about pursuing a fulfilling career but did not know which direction to head. Going with the theme of my subjects, I started working with a Big 4- safe option but not satisfying despite the awards and accolades. Also, I did not want to pursue an ACCA or CPA, so I decided to venture into business.
In my next role of a Business Development Manager, I established the infrastructure development vertical and gained exposure to managerial responsibilities and expertise in sales strategy and developing partnerships.
Due to a family matter, I decided to move back to support my ailing grandparents. To cover for the gap in my professional portfolio, I interned with my current organisation, Pahal (NGO) for six months and fell in love with my job. It's been two years since, and I am sure that a career in the development sector is my way forward!

Hi @inseadshri-- while I realize your MBA days are long behind you-- we see this question was still out there and could be useful to others so I would just like to reply that you should always check with the school directly but in general you can submit with unofficial and then the school wants to see official later in process if you are admitted.
