August 21 | Chat session with ARINGO MBA Admissions consulting

athena97 hi,
GMAT is just one factor. Extracurriculers another
What about all the other factors like:
- managerial experiences
- fast track promotions
- working with international clients
- who your recommenders will be
- Another factor is who you are (male / female / you come from Africa or Germany...)
- and last what is "a good school" is it top 5? top 50? US? India? Canada?

you can see the MBA programs rankings & average GMAT scores here: https://aringo.com/top-mba-program-rankings/
If you feel your profile is "above average" you can score a lower than average GMAT score. if your profile is less exciting, you might need a higher GMAT score


Nazrinn hi
This depends on a. can you connect your past experience to finance? b. your GPA is 82% considered good or bad in YOUR university (are you top 5% or top 30%?) c. what GMAT score you score and d. which schools you will be applying to
Sounds to me like the first step should be GMAT. then we can talk...
(once you take the GMAT, feel free to send me your CV, GMAT score and school wish list to shimriw@ARINGO.com) and I will try to assist...

A questions we have received online: Which criteria do MBA programs in Canada prioritize for scholarship consideration?

Thank you, Shimri. I’m from India and I’m female. I do work in an MNC and collaborate with my client who has a team of German and French people. Wouldn’t that count as international exposure? I haven’t been in managerial roles yet but I did receive two promotions. I have a great manager who is very articulate so I’m counting on a really good LOR. I’m mainly targeting LSB and Oxford Said, I personally want to get into one of the top 20. Is that ambitious, considering my current GMAT mocks stand at the 650-680 range?

The Canadian MBA programs look at the same criteria that US / EU / Asian schools look at. and they are kind of the same criteria as the acceptance ones they look at
here are some:
- Smart & Dependable
- Academic or Professional Excellency
- Career Vision
- School Interest & Motivation
- Leadership / Entrepreneurship experience
- International Exposure
- extra curricular activities
and of course do you tick any diversity boxes

Hi, I am a Law Graduate with 4.5 years of work experience in a PSU as a Law Officer. I am planning for an MBA in 2024 from India or South East Asia. Can you suggest me some job profiles which i can look for after an MBA considering my background.

your profile sounds good but a lot depends on your GMAT and then on writing the apps
As you do come from a super competitive background, 650-680 might not be enough for a shcools like LBS. BUT, lets see where you are after the GMAT... we will be smarter then!

MBAs are great for career ****. go into the schools’ websites and look at their career reports... or you can watch our video on post-MBA careers here: https://youtu.be/AC8NDAYLG3g

Thank you!

Right, I think we can close this chat now...
