Hello. Did you face any issues in applying to INSEAD using GRE score? I have heard that INSEAD favours GMAT over GRE, is it true?

After 6 years in the Metal and Mining industry where I lead the International Business Development and strategy for Africa, Australia, and the Middle Eastern markets, I would like to switch to consulting ( most preferably ) in Metal/Mining and associated domains for 5-7 years where I can appreciate the chain from a larger lens and understand different pillars of operation, finance, strategy and laws governing them. Post 5-7 years, I wish to lead the operations/strategy wing of large resource companies such as Rio Tinto/Glencore

I started teaching English and IELTS test 4 years ago and within this time period, I have become one of the best in the biz (suppose top 10 in the country - although don't know of a way prove it to the admission committee) and am better than those who have been in this highly competitive market (I say "highly competitive" because there has been mass immigration in my country for years) for over 20 years and most young people aspire to attain an IELTS degree. I myself received one of the highest scores in my country in the history of the test (8.5/9) in spite of suffering from a super severe depression in the past 13 years. now I am looking to follow my lifelong passion, to wit, Business nad i've been working towards that goal since I overcame my depression a few months ago.

Additional Info:
I live in Iran.
I am 33 years old
Have a Bachelor's in English Translation - GPA 3.8
Aspire to become an entrepreneur if possible, if not, work in marketing, sales, or anything in a business I can be good at. not picky

I am a chartered accountant and have worked in Deloitte in Audit & Assurance for more than 2 years now. I have experience in Investment Management industry and am looking for a shift in my profile and industry. I am 28 years old and planning to give my GMAT in August and I plan to apply to ISB in the 1st round.

Does my profile has it to get into ISB and what score should I aim for ?

You profile looks good with a healthy mix of CA background and audit experience. If you factor your CA articleship your total experience would be around 4-5 years which is quite optimum, factoring all these inputs would recommend targeting a score of 720+ to be at a competitive advantage in the application pool.

All the best!

Hey Sandipan,

Will need more details to provide an objective assessment of your profile and your fit for MBA programs. With 10+ years of work experience the European 1 year formats will definitely make a lot more sense since the median work experience is on the higher side, however we have worked with candidates having 10-12 years of experience for US business schools and seen success there as well. Transitioning from Government Affairs to Consulting will be doable and your experience will be unique since there isnt a lot of representation from professionals with background in Government Affairs - roles which tend to have a large impact. Would suggest focusing on your test scores and applications process to have greater chance of success.
All the best!

Post my B.tech from one of the NITs (NIT Jalandhar), I was employed for 2 years in manufacturing sector of a fortune 500 company (Saint Gobain). I got the offer on the basis of stellar performance during my internship with the same company. During my job, I did multiple projects ( including 2 yellow belt projects) related to loss reduction and cost optimization. Since i wanted to shift my full time focus on the data analysis projects, I moved go ZS Associates which specializes in healthcare consulting. It's been 3.5 yrs since I hv been supporting a Healthcare giant with marketing strategies and day to day business Qs. I have 8.61/ 10 cgpa and hv been actively involved in sports at university level and led 2 clubs in college. Is a M7 admit possible with 725 GMAT FE score? Or should I focus more on the rest top 20?

Your profile is solid and ZS does tend to be a feeder into top MBA programs globally. With a good GMAT score and strong application you should definitely have a shot at the top tier MBA programs although I would advice against too fixated on the ranking. Focus more on what you intend to achieve during and post your MBA and accordingly shortlist colleges that would be fit your profile. Do remember that Extra Curriculars also play an important role in your application process, hence would advice you to focus on them as well. Lastly, healthcare is an industry that typically has been underrepresented across business schools and has gained prominence specially after the pandemic, so would advice you to focus on that aspect particularly in your applications. We have seen strong success with folks from the healthcare consulting background last year. All the best!

Do reach out to us at info@thembaedge.com if you have any further queries.

ECs are important to showcase your candidacy wholistically outside academics. Think of some engagements where you can show your pursue your passion whilst having a impact on the broader community be it volunteering with organizations providing healthcare, fund raising for some cause, organizing community drives, spreading awareness or even engaging with the local community. These will help enhance your perspectives and showcase you desire to have an impact on your community (something that most business schools value deeply)

Unfortunately you haven't provided a lot of details, so its difficult to provide an objective assessment of your profile. Just my 2 cents, your background in Government Consulting will be valuable enabling you to provide key insights that a lot of the corporate professionals wouldnt have. Transitioning into Consulting would be quite feasible but you cant be too sure of which vertical you will be ultimately be assigned to since most fresh business graduates start their careers as generalist prior to specializing in an industry of function. Alternatively, some firms like Deloitte have a dedicated Human Capital Consulting practice and thus can be on your radar. Do target a strong GMAT score as that will enable you to get a top tied admit and be an icing on the cake during your Consulting recruitment.

Why MBA:

I am pursuing an MBA to accelerate the growth of my FMCG manufacturing start-up. With my expertise in supply chain management and logistics strategy, combined with international exposure from studying abroad, I aim to optimize operations, develop effective marketing strategies, and leverage the program's resources and professional network to foster personal growth in leadership and cultural sensitivity.

Short-term Goal:
In the short term, I plan to work as a supply chain consultant for a period of 2-3 years, focusing on gaining valuable experience and expanding my professional network. By joining a multinational company in this role, I will have the opportunity to work on diverse projects, collaborate with experts in the field, and gain exposure to international markets. This experience will allow me to deepen my understanding of global supply chain dynamics, identify new resources for business growth, and enhance my skills and knowledge in strategic planning and logistics management. During this time, I will entrust the day-to-day operations of my FMCG manufacturing startup to my capable family members, ensuring its smooth functioning and growth in my absence.

Long-term Goal:
Looking ahead, my long-term vision is to expand globally into multinational markets. By utilizing my supply chain management and logistics strategy expertise, combined with the international exposure gained from an MBA, I will navigate the complexities of international markets. Through tailored products and strategies, collaborations with local partners, and seamless logistics operations, I envision my FMCG manufacturing startup becoming a trusted provider in multiple countries, generating sustainable growth and establishing a strong global presence.

Hey Sagar,

You have got a solid GMAT score and a very interesting startup experience in the FMCG industry with aggressive future plans. Unfortunately, you are committing the cardinal mistake of applying to too many programs across multiple geographies which will take a toll on you during the application process and may not yield the most optimum outcome. My advice will be to have the ISB PGP program as your top choice if you intend to stay in India and want to subsequently expand your business post your MBA since the large financial cost of an International MBA may force you to delay your startup plans while looking for conventional employment to recover your cost. If financing is not a major criteria, you can explore some really good US based MBA programs which have highly developed specializations in Supply Chain & Operations and will help you develop an international network. Some of the programs which should be on your radar are the Ross School of Business, Kelley, McCombs, MIT Sloan etc.

Hope the inputs help! Please reach out at info@thembaedge.com in case you have any further queries.

Not sure if ISB would be a great path towards PM. However, your experience is on the lower side, so put in application with atleast 3.5+ years of experience. Anything above 700 GMAT would get you across the line.

Your profile is solid but the GMAT is tad below the average score. If possible, try to bump your score by 20 points and with anything 700 or above, you should be a solid candidate for the PGPX.

1. Try to bump your GMAT to 740 or above.
2. Work experience of around 3 years is not good. So, probably get done with GMAT this year, and then use the rest of the year to apply in R2 2024 (Class of '26), or R1 2024 (Class of '27).
Reach out if you need any other help.

I worked for an education non-profit as a college adviser for 1 year after graduation, then enlisted in the US Army. After 5 years of active duty military service in the defense healthcare field, I am wrapping up a master of accounting degree and going into public accounting. I hope to use the MBA to pivot into a consulting career.
