Hi
I am a 24 year old Indian female. I graduated in BSC Economics in 2018 and I have 4 years of work ex in an international investment bank and I am current working as a market risk analyst. I have 90%+ in both class 10 & 12 and I have a CGPA of 7.88 in undergrad. I have a gmat score of 720(Q47,V41).
I want to apply to UBC Sauder, York Schulich and U of T Rotman for their full time MBA. Apart from the Canadian bschools I also want to apply to ISB in india. What else can I do to my application strong so that I can secure an interview call? Also, I would like to receive scholarships so how can I also ensure that?
Would appreciate admission experts feedback

Mekhs, a few thoughts on your profile evaluation and queries
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- The undergrad background isn't very clear since you've not mentioned the name of your college - does it have a feeder brand? The GPA looks alright and GMAT is adequate (though not stellar) for your target schools. A higher score always pushes chances for financial aid and one of the few things you can impact in the limited time at hand before applications are due.
- Association with an MNC ibank helps but risk is not a well represented function at top schools - it'll be critical to explain the nature and impact of your work through your applications, in very clear manner. What are your post-MBA plans?
- Top schools and the ones you are targeting also value ECs. Anything here?
- If open for other geographies, there can of course be several schools in the US that you can target.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,

Hi, Mekhs,
Thank you for your post!
First, I would like to say you do have a decent GMAT score, especially considering that you want to target Canadian b-schools and a good overall GPA. In terms of work experience, you do have a good amount of work experience; however, you need to elaborate on your roles & responsibilities, working environment, and critical projects and top them with great examples of leadership.
Coming to ECAs, you need to add some relevant volunteering and community work and some ECAs. While adding them try to mention all about your contribution, the challenges faced, leadership roles played, the impact generated, and the relevant skills developed through your ECAs to bank upon them! Also, add any certification and additional certified courses to gain additional points on your profile.
All in all, you do have a decent profile. Your GMAT scores are quite good; however, you need to have an exceptionally strong academic background with some substantial examples of leadership, decision-making, and analytical skills for a merit-based scholarship. You may want to read a success story to ROTMAN with scholarship, it may help you get a better perspective. Currently, I would require more information about your profile as I feel it's still brief at certain points. Additionally, I would suggest adding a relevant post-MBA goal and linking your work experience, ECAs, and post-MBA goals by connecting dots between them in your school essays to mesmerize the adcom! That's all for now! If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further help you with your strategy for essays and interviews regarding MBA programs, Feel free to book a free session with us at your convenience.
Cheers!
