Applying to PGP Young Leaders (New PGP)

I have a little weird profile and was concerned if I would make a cut.

GMAT FE: 685 (96th Percentile): Maths - 90/90 (100%), Verbal - 80/90 (57%), DI - 82/90 (93%)
IELTS: 7.5/9 (C1)

Academics
- 10th : 80.40%
- 12th : 94.40%
- BBA: Nirma University - 8.19 CGPA - Top 10% of batch
- Passed both the levels of Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification (Comparable to CFA) in the first attempt with top quartile performance.

Professional Experience:
- 6 Months internship in finance risk analysis at Avinya Ventures (VC Fund)
- 4 Months internship at Campus Binge (A Bangalore based startup in real estate)
- 2 Months Full-Time experience as Growth & Marketing Associate at Numans Technologies (A SaaS startup) - Left firm because of family needs
- Worked on a FinTech Startup to make investing in human capital possible during my undergrad and won prestigious grants from IIT Kanpur, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Dharbad, and IIM Udaipur for my business.

Extra curriculars
- Lead Nirma University Entrepreneurship Cell to IIT Jodhpur and won 1st prize in National-Level Business Plan competition.
- Worked as core-committee member of Abhivyakti - The cultural committee at Nirma University
- U-19 state level Football player and Athlete (During school)
- Worked as the junior member of Jain Social Group (JSG) - A social organization for followers of Jainism.

Awards
- 50% Merit-Based Scholarship on entire tuition fees for 3 years of my BBA.

Weird Part - I already started my MSc Finance at BI Norwegian Business School in Norway but the quality of education I feel is below par and I don't feel I will have adequate growth opportunities here. Will that create a negative impression that I am dropping out of a masters?

Can u please give a realistic view on my profile?
Dear Deepanshu1234D,

Your profile appears to be well-rounded and impactful, showcasing a commendable GMAT Focus Edition score, solid academic performance, and a proactive approach to upskilling through your FRM certification. Additionally, your extracurricular activities and relevant work experience, particularly your early exposure to venture capital, are noteworthy as you consider applying for the PGP Young Leaders program.

We believe that stepping away from your current master's program at BI Norwegian Business School in Norway will not significantly harm your profile. However, it is crucial that you articulate in your essays why this decision is a vital step for your career progression.

Moreover, given that your certifications and work experience indicate a strong inclination towards a career in finance, it is essential to clearly express your rationale for pursuing a more generalized course like PGP YL instead of a specialized master's in finance. Please elaborate on how you envision PGP YL aligning with your career aspirations.

We are eager to learn more about your profile and support you throughout your application journey. At Team FLY, we are a dedicated group of ISB alumni committed to assisting prospective candidates with profile positioning, essay critiques, and interview preparations.

Feel free to book a 15-minute free session for an in-depth discussion with us: https://calendly.com/reachusfly/15min .

Additionally, we are excited to announce the launch of our new website, where we are currently offering an inaugural 20% discount on all our services. We invite you to visit us at https://www.teamfly.org/

Warm regards,

Invites are generally rolled out 5-7 days in advance of the actual interview date and are rolled out city-wise.

So, one city every week. I believe most, if not all, the interviews will be conducted in October @Ayushi_Verma.

Hi, is there any difference in the OG for India Edition and US edition. I ordered for US edition but got India edition and the product cannot be returned.
This might be a better platform for your query AnkitaRC.

Hey,

This could simply be an extension of the placement resume format, in which, mentioning contact details are prohibited.
It’s possible that the same system is being used for admission resumes, which might have led to an automatic rejection.
Don’t worry, they will likely ask you to resubmit.

Hey a191291r,
Even if your application has multiple errors, they’ll only ask you to resubmit the specific section. They won’t reject your entire application over a system error or something you might have missed.
So relax and focus on preparing for the interview, which you’ll hopefully be giving soon!

My resume and proof of income are also rejected. There is no link provided to upload these documents again.
