congratulations for excellent results. To which b-school are you heading?

Ramya Srinivasan

Thank you! I have decided to go to Yale SOM

That's nice and all the best to you! Just wondering why you did not pick Booth or Kellogg.
Also, came across this post today- it can be a nice read for you:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MBA/comments/1 ... xperience/

Thank you, that's an interesting read indeed. I chose SOM because I want to move to the social impact space and Yale is very well-known in this regard with a lot of alumni doing really interesting work, plus I really connected with their motto of leaders for business and society!

That's rather nice. Both Kellogg and Booth have a lot of resources around social impact, but Yale is at a different level (their seriousness about the motto included), so, you are going to the right place then.
Come back here once you join and tell us about your experience with the integrated curriculum.

Thank you! I'll be sure to contribute

Hey, mani007

Your profile for top MBA programs is strong, with over 6 years of working experience in tech, high GRE scores and a good GPA. You want to continue creating impactful technology products and eventually start your own business, both of which can easily be accomplished through an MBA.

Top programs such as UCLA Anderson, Foster, Tepper, Fuqua, Scheller, and McCombs will provide you with the right knowledge on how businesses operate as well as practical exposure and networking opportunities that will help you reach your goals. These programs have flexible curricula offering many electives, allow students to tackle real-world business problems, and possess vibrant start-up communities.

To enhance your applications, emphasize leadership experiences by quantifying the impact you have had on others and composing persuasive essays that narrate your story, uniquely fitting into every program.

With your strong profile and clear goals, you have a solid chance of gaining admission to these top MBA programs. Therefore, applying in Round 1 would give you an edge over other candidates who also apply at the same time despite having very different backgrounds from yours. Good luck with your application!

Let's connect and discuss your profile in detail and help you craft a killer application .Click here to schedule a complimentary profile evaluations session with our experts . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools.

What is the scale against which one should look at your GPA: 7, 8, or 10? It could mean a huge difference if it is on 7 or on 8 / 10. If is 8 / 10, then you need to beef up your candidature much more, including improving your GRE scores.

Scores are a defense and, hence, the foundation of your candidacy, especially since you are an Indian, a male, and an engineer - three attributes you cannot change. I will skip my queries on the rest of your narrative for now.

I should have added that GPA is scored on 10. Missed adding the context

Then please definitely consider improving your GRE to 335 or higher. You may also want to pursue a few specific graded courses to alleviate concerns about your perceived ability to deal with the academic rigor of an MBA program. I also hope that you have evidence to showcase how you have already done something to use technology to improve living standards.

Hi @Mani007
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Regarding your profile, your six years of product management expertise and your high GRE score put you in a good position for top MBA programs. Your enthusiasm for using technology to have a positive social effect is admirable and has the potential to weave a compelling story in your application. Your target schools align well with your career goals.

While your work experience and GRE is impressive, your GPA is on the lower end. Can you justify your low score? Are there any valid reasons to support it? You can also compensate for this by highlighting other academic achievements, such as challenging coursework, research projects, or academic awards.

You should work on crafting a compelling narrative, and also optimizing your application materials to maximize your chances of admit. One thing that impresses the adcoms is ‘impact’ try justifying it statistically wherever possible. With 6 years of experience, I am sure there would be several strong impactful projects which you can highlight in your application. You have also mentioned using technology for helping less fortunate people, do you have a plan for it? Or are there any examples you can share with the adcoms. This would help your profile stand out amidst the pool of applicants.
We would like you to connect for a free profile analysis. Feel free to connect for a detailed discussion.

Hey Mani007,

Vashi here from LilacBuds.

You have a strong work experience with 6 years in Tech industry and a good GRE score which makes you a strong applicant for your target schools. But your GPA of 6.11/10 is a little on the lower end and will be a concern for these schools. What were the reason for the same? This needs to be elaborated in your essays or put it in perspective on what was the class average or where you stood in percentile wise.
You also need to make sure that your application essays reflect your strong professional experience and take into consideration your leadership skills. Do make sure that your post-MBA goals are clearly depicted in your application essays and how each specific school will be critical in helping you achieve the same. Reach out to alums/ current students of these schools to know more about these programs. This will assist in the long run for your applications.
Keep in mind that R1 will be your best bet and if you plan to consider R2 as well then you can look towards improving on your score which will improve your chances as well.

We at LilacBuds would love to assist you by connecting you to alums/ mentors of top B-schools and would therefore request more details about your profile. You can connect with our team for a detailed profile analysis at https://lilacbuds.com/services/mba-cour ... mpaign=GCV or leave a message on +91-84483 35484 for a direct reachout.

615 is a fine score, it will not cause issues in any mim. I just pasted the admission questions on word and wrote. No consueling, no review, no chatgpt.

Ahh Ty!

Hi, my sincere congratulations for being admitted to HEC!

I have a question for you: if you are Italian and you want to get into MBB, why did you choose HEC over Bocconi IM CEMS?
I am Italian, therefore I'm interested to get your point of view on this.

I chose INSEAD actually, if you want the reason we can discuss privately. IM CEMS is a great program, but they release results too late (I am not loosing 8000€ to change idea), which means they lose some people to other business schools. I am currently interning in MBB so I have some advantage for the future

Honestly I'd love to discuss this privately. I'll reach out on LinkedIn, if you don't mind.

Congratulations on your admit. I do not know what matriculating means. Could you please explain it in brief?

Hello Precious. Stumbled on your profile coz we have similar profiles and it’s encouraging to see that you got admitted with that score. I have a score of 302 and That has been my major fear regarding applications. Just wanted to confirm- was it the 305 score that got you admitted? Or did you retake the test?

She has an admit already!!!

Well done for your very strong scores. I lot will depend on how well you package your examples of achievements, leadership, and impact in your applications. Select your countries and schools wisely, those where relevant consulting firms hire non-natives, offer sponsorship, and have a clientele in the Infra / Project management domain.

Hey, @Shas1811

Your profile is strong with a good GMAT score and four years of work experience in infrastructure development, managing construction quality, and training interns. Emphasize your leadership and problem-solving abilities in your essays to make your MBA applications better by describing some specific challenges that you have gone through successfully. Create a narrative that connects your past to your goal of transitioning into consulting and pursuing a senior leadership role focused on sustainability. Tailor your essays for each program by highlighting specific faculty or projects that resonate with you. Networking with alumni and securing strong recommendations will further strengthen your application. Prepare for interviews by clearly articulating your experiences and career goals. Since you're applying in Round 1, ensure your application is polished and submitted early to maximize your chances.

Hi @Shas1811
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your GMAT score and GPA are very strong and will clearly establish your academic potential. Your four years of experience in a managerial role in a government agency looks impressive, I assume that this role has exposed you to complex and high-stakes decisions, requiring a blend of technical expertise, leadership, and strategic thinking.

Your post-MBA goals also align well, and your target schools are competitive and well-regarded. However, effectively communicating the unique value proposition of your experience, as well as aligning your aspirations with specific school cultures, will be crucial for admission success. I would recommend classifying your target schools into ambitious, reach and safe schools in order to narrow down your efforts. This will also help you focus better on your applications.

To increase your chances of acceptance, consider highlighting the impact of your work, challenges you have overcome, and how your experience aligns with the values of these top schools.

To provide more specific guidance, please connect with us or share your CV so we can assess your profile comprehensively.

You may have competitive applications to these programs if you have a good GMAT/GRE. I'm guessing you haven't taken the test yet?

hannibalR9

Took the Gmat FE today. Got 705.

I graduated from NSIT, delhi with 8.6 CGPA, which converted to 3.72 GPA using Scholaro.

Hello, @hannibalR9

You have an impressive GMAT score, and your GPA indicates the strongest profile. You have years of work experience in the tech industry, including taking part in a high-growth start-up that became a unicorn. To bolster your application, highlight your leadership experience as a front-end lead at a Fortune 500 company. Clearly communicate how you would like to get involved with the investment banking industry from being a tech person and make sure to submit compelling essays that tie these two periods together for you. Connect with alumni & current students to gain an understanding of this process better and improve your narrative. Mention any significant extracurricular activities or volunteer work that characterizes your multi-faceted nature and demonstrates a commitment to change-making. This will allow you to leverage your powerful background knowledge by ensuring you maintain a consistent study plan, thus putting yourself in the best possible position for successful MBA applications.

All the best

IB is an ocean - which function of the industry are you targeting? If it's their tech arm, then it's fine.
