Standard rounds and regarding scholarships it is dependent on your profile (yes there are more in R1-R2 but it doesn’t mean if you apply in R3-R4 with an interesting profile you won’t get one)

I would say, it’s optimistic but less probabilistic... 🙂

Hi guys!
Wanted help with profile evaluation and target score for MiM. I am targeting INSEAD, ISB and HEC mainly.
22 F
99% in 10th
95th in 12th (Commerce+ Paths)
8.3 in BA Economics Hons from Top 10 Universities in DU
School Achievements (idk if they're relevant)
1. Runner up in an international business competition in 12th
2. Scored a 100 in Hindi
College achievements
1. Head of Marketing and Sales for an ENACTUS Project in my college
2. Won 2 case competitions organised by other DU colleges
3. Started a marketplace business in the last semester but couldn't build due to shortage of cash

Work Experience
1. Founder's office role in a health tech start up (majorly working around sales and social media)
2. Transitioned to finance after getting a job in a boutique investment banking firm where I have handled parts of deals worth $100Mn
3. Currently on a two month leave to prepare for GMAT

I also work closely with a founder of an NGO on strategizing and conducting policy events in North India.
How much should I be scoring on a minimum for a competitive profile? And is this profile good enough to be considered?

Hi guys! Just got done with GMAT and scored a 645 🥲

The only issue is that DI is 78 with 69th percentile. Would it hurt my chances for these schools?

Hi Everyone, I need help understanding if I can apply to competitive universities in USA or UK such as Duke, Carnegie Mellon, Imperial Business School, LBS, Warwick Business School with GMAT / GRE for MS Business Analytics program
My Background : IELTS - 7.5  CGPA - 8.6/10 (2025 graduate)
Course - B.Tech CSE (Data Sc. & AI), SRM University,Delhi-NCR I have 3 internships as Data Analyst - First two internship were as Data Analyst in my 2 and 3 year of college. Later, worked in my family business as a Business/Data Analyst in my last internship. (I’ll probably continue working here if I get an admit in any of these schools).  I have also published a pre-print on arxiv.org related to explainable AI and credit risk. I had a few leadership roles in the university including the student placement co-ordinator.
Any suggestions or tips are welcome and will be helpful.

Hello Everyone!

For those who wish to request a waiver for the English tests from schools, here is a document with the format I followed to email them. Some of the schools’ email addresses are also included in the table.

Hope this helps !

Hey, guys! Just wondering
How are you guys deciding with the schools?
Like, according to QS rankings, or also considering the current geopolitical situations? Like in the UK, it is a recession, but as we also know, that, LBS and Imperial are very good schools for MIM (even according to the QS ranking)

Hii, when it comes to LBS and Imperial, they are undoubtedly elite schools with truly global programs. If you secure an admit from them, I think, there’s no need to worry too much about the UK factor....you’ll have the flexibility to move and work anywhere. The brand name itself will carry significant weight.
