Hi nj97,
Thank you for sharing this info! In terms of your undergrad performance and GMAT, these schools are very reasonable target schools. Your weakness currently is the amount of work experience compared to the average, which will make you less competitive compared to your peers. It may be worth waiting a year to apply that way you are closer to the average age and you will have more time to spend bulking up your extracurriculars which are also a little weak given you started teaching in 2021. If you're set on applying now, you'll want to make sure your application has a strong narrative for "why now" and demonstrates your strong experiences to date.
Feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to further discuss your application strategy. We regularly work with folks in India and can certainly help here!

Hi Team,
I would be grateful if you could evaluate my profile (as below) and help address my query.
Profile
1. GMAT Score -710 (Q49, V38)
2. Under graduation- B Tech in Mechanical Engineering from Manipal University (GPA-8.7/10) (Batch of 2016)
3. Work Experience- 6 years (3 with KPMG India and 3 years of international work experience with Ernst and Young, Singapore)- Working in the technology risk consulting domain, where i advise clients to reduce IT risks in their operations. Have got promoted year on year in both my companies.
Post MBA career goals- Switch to strategy consulting from technology risk consulting, wherein i help firms with cost reduction, process enhancements through business process redesign.
4. Extra curriculars-
Founded NGO in India- where we help slum dwellers (Run drug awareness campaigns, employment drives for women in slums, and help enroll slum children in government schools)
College Tennis team captain.
Query
1. I have received an admit from Rotman in Canada. I wanted to understand with my profile is it the best option currently or could i try for other schools (Insead/ US schools) next year with my profile. I got a ding from LBS (the other school i applied to). A few key considerations are:
a. Good network and quality of education
b. Ability to move to a strategy consulting firm
c. ability to settle abroad and hopefully get my mother to live with me in the long term.
Thanks so much with your help.
Warm Regards,
Rohan
