Hi @Dat Lam,
From ther very limited data points you have given, I see bright options for you, esp with the diversity you bring. However, there are also concerns due to the Round 3 (lower selections), lower GPA than some M7 MBA programs accept (remember though if you have self-converted your Academics to a GPA system, they can look low), and your GMAT score.

As said earlier, without more details and reference points, a generic advice would be to apply to a wider basket of programs, ensure your Professional accomplishments show your leadership (leadership can come through well even if you are an individual contributor), and the Career Goals, essays and LORs weave a compelling theme showing the need (and your readiness) for an MBA in your future growth.

Hope that helps. Please submit your profile for a Free Assessment over a 1:1 call. https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/

INSEAD would need a higher score... which I am sure you are working on. Depending on some conditions, lower scores have been accepted but the higher you can get the less the score attracts attention. In terms of HC consulting - make sure you see jobs and opportunities where you can leverage your MBA. HR is a tricky area - lots of layoffs have been there and jobs are really though.

I would agree with BB on this one!
INSEAD would definitely need a higher score to get in except in some cases. I would also suggest you look at Universities around Europe since one of the hurdle in France would also be the requirement of French in most jobs (specially consulting). Netherlands/ UK / Luxembourg would be good places for seeking job opportunities.

Brand Name or University reputation is important if you are planning for consulting, so you can go for higher ranked colleges if you have a bit higher GMAT Score!

Feel free to reach out in case you would like to have a detailed chat.

I’m an Associate Consultant at ZS Associates with ~5 years of experience (by Fall 2026) in pharma strategy consulting. I’ve worked extensively on high-impact projects for major global pharma clients, primarily within the Primary Market Research (PMR) vertical, delivering insights that support strategic decisions. Recently, I’ve also taken on a product manager–like role, leading the pilot of GenAI-powered tools for qualitative research and virtual sales rep training—an initiative that blends tech innovation with client delivery.


Academically, I graduated as a gold medalist and class topper (GPA 9.89/10) in Mechanical Engineering from Thapar University. I’ve complemented my consulting experience with online coursework, including statistics from Rice University on Coursera, and I’m currently preparing to pursue Wharton’s Business Analytics course. My GMAT score is 655, and I’m aiming to apply in Round 1 to top global programs.

I’m now looking to pivot from a niche domain into broader strategy, brand marketing, and people-facing leadership roles. An MBA is the logical next step to gain exposure beyond pharma, expand my global network, and accelerate my transition into marketing and cross-functional leadership. Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports (especially badminton), photography, sketching, and singing

Hi Sayu_x
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, you have a great background in healthcare consulting, excellent academics and a personal story that makes your application stand out. Targeting Singapore is a smart choice since schools like NUS and INSEAD offer good value and match your consulting goals. U.S. schools like Fuqua and McCombs could also work if you get scholarships.

Your story about overcoming challenges and your motivation to work in healthcare consulting is powerful and will make your essays shine.

Hi @Sayu_x , I hope you are doing well! Your strong GPA (9.89, gold medalist) and focused healthcare management consulting experience position you well for MBA programs. However, your GMAT scores (645 Focus, 640 Classic) are significantly below the averages for top schools, particularly for U.S. or competitive Singapore programs like NUS or SMU. A retake targeting an increase of 20+ points could significantly improve your chances.

Your personal story is compelling, tie it tightly to your post-MBA goals in healthcare consulting to demonstrate a clear and authentic narrative. For budget-friendly options, prioritize Singapore schools for their affordability and regional strength while considering U.S. programs offering strong scholarships like Kelley, Tepper, or Emory Goizueta.

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to discuss your profile in detail and shortlist schools for you. Feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.

Cheers!
