Hi! I'm also from India (F) and applying for the 2025 term in CBS early decision, I would love to get your take on VC as pre-MBA experience (I currently have a VC offer in hand and am hoping to make a decision on whether it would be good to accept MBA profile-wise soon) I'd really appreciate it if we could connect quickly for a few questions on this? Let me know or drop a message on PM!

wow... all of the profile parameters pretty awesome. I would be very curious about your interview invite results!
P.S. Sorry about the HBS ding. It is very competitive, but frankly - was worth the shot!

Reooooo

R1 interviewed with Yale, Darden and Ross. So far got 2 offers.

6 more programs to go in R2.

Very well done! 💪

Hey! My pre MBA and post MBA industries look the same. Since I'm interested in Fuqua, would love to know more about your profile. Please dm if you'd like to help. Thanks!

Hi and congratulations on your achievements and your profile. Do you have a rather unique profile and the strong one. However, your test score is on the low side for the deferred programs. Competition tends to be stiff for these early programs because they’re only so few spots.

I’m not sure what makes the most sense right now in terms of strengthening your application and whether taking the test or focusing on essays may be better but I can tell you that risk of applying is pretty low since you can always apply in two or four or five years.

I would recommend for you to take a test, any test, GRE, GMAT, GMAT Focus now while you’re still fresh out of undergrad. Whether you get admitted or not, most people still reapply later and unless you want to take the test again, it would be very handy to have it for future applications. Just pointing out something that I’ve seen over the years.

However, low chances doesn’t mean impossible so there’s always a chance👍

Hey, thankyou for you review.
I understand that the score is low for deferred but I will still give it a shot. However, I always wanted to apply to EU - hec paris insead etc after a few years, will the score be enough then?
Also how about deferred in rice, tepper, emory and mcdonoughs?

Hello!

You have a wonderfully all-rounded and strong profile! I completely agree with BB that the competition is absolutely tough for these programs and would need an outstanding GMAT Score 730+ atleast.
With your current score which is also good, I would recommend you to opt for MiM programs - eg MiM at HEC Paris, MiM at EDHEC would be good choices! Some institutions also offer dual degree programs which enable you to get into MBA after an MiM.

Please feel free to reach out to me in case you want to have a detailed chat.

Hello!
Your profile looks really promising on the Academic and work experience front! I would however, like to know in morre detail about your progression in your job, any leadership opportunities, your career journey, etc. Besides this, it would also be important to mention why you would be interested. in pursuing and MBA after your PGDM at IIM. Let me break down these pointers for your ease -

1. Academics - Your GMAT score is great and you. also have a decent GPA. This combination would be good to clear the requirements of top B-Schools on the Academic front.
2. Professional Experience - You have a long enough work experience for 8 years! It would be interesting to know your leadership progression during these years. Do you have any international experience?
3. Extra curricular/Volunteering: Do you have any extracurriculars as well ? Any volunteering experience? I would like to know more about your NGO contributions or any initiatives for social cause.
4. International Experience - Have you been abroad (even for tourism purposes)? Which all countries and languages do you know?
5. Post MBA - This is clear! Since your aim is Product Management, I would also include MIT Sloan, UC Berkley in your list!

Overall, I would really say that you have a good profile. I would just need to see it from a holistic angle to assess you with other candidates. Please feel free to connect in case you need to have a detailed chat, need any assistance or help with the applications!
