615 GMAT FOCUS translates to 670 in GMAT CLASSIC edition. I dont understand why its showing 620. Headsup on that

A 670 would also be lesser for an Indian applicant. A retake would really help

Hey, @rossi46


Your GMAT and GPA scores are good, making your profile competitive for top MBA programs especially with related work experience in the consumer products industry as well as a strong academic background from SRCC.

Highlighting relevant work experience is critical to improving your MBA applications – this will indicate that you are capable of leading and being strategic. While at the MBB’s back end, focus on how you used analytical and problem-solving techniques to accomplish specific projects in which you made a measurable impact. When transitioning into your role for e-commerce strategy, emphasize how well you understand digital transformation and market dynamics by citing some innovative strategies that helped grow your business.

In your present position as Strategy Manager, concentrate on your leadership qualities and decision-making skills, explaining what you have done to influence the direction of the company and improve its performance. Write powerful essays about your journey through this industry, articulating why it arouses passion within you and outlining your plans post-MBA.

Effectively describe the way you intend to use your MBA to progress in this field, stating the positions you have in mind and the influence you would like to make. In addition, secure powerful letters of recommendation from individuals who can elaborate on your professional accomplishments and leadership qualities, making sure they appreciate your career objectives. Engage with alumni and current students to get insight into each program’s culture and strengths as well as modify your applications by mentioning specific offerings that appeal to you. Focus on these strategies so that your essay truly demonstrates what makes you unique from other applicants and eventually places yourself on top of all eligible candidates in respective MBA programs.



I would love to discuss your profile in detail and help you craft a stand-out application. Click here to schedule a complimentary profile evaluation session with our experts . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools.


Good luck :D

Hey rossi46,

Vashi here from LilacBuds.
You have a good GMAT score as well as a strong GPA making you a strong candidate for ISB as well the schools across US & Europe. Make sure that you highlight your work experience across all roles as well the international exposure you have across your essays. Present strong post MBA goals and how the respective schools will help you achieve the same to craft impactful essays. Any special skills/ extra-curriculars you have been involved in will be an added bonus and will better your chances for a top admit. Clear communication of your strengths and fit for each program will be the key to a successful application.

We at LilacBuds would love to assist you 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 ... consultant or leave a message on +918448335484 for a direct reachout.

Hi @rossi46
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your FE score stands around 750 on the classic version, which is indeed very strong. While your GPA is decent when clubbed together with your GMAT and work experience, it demonstrates a strong profile.

Top programs that you are targeting are extremely competitive and look for skills like leadership and international exposure. Impact is another thing which highly impresses the Adcoms. Having SRCC under your name is another plus. Working in a startup has its own perks, highlight your learnings and how things are differently managed at a startup when compared to your previous corporate roles. While your focus on consumer products post-MBA is clear, exploring opportunities for industry diversification could broaden your options.

Feel free to connect for a detailed discussion.

Hi from a fellow alum (but from a very different generation). You need to do deep research on the plausibility of your post-MBA goals, especially since CPS in the USA will not happen. Good scores otherwise.

Thank you for your service. I hope your country appreciates it! The US business schools should appreciate your experience. The more you can highlight how you stood out or perform better than your peers, the better your chances.

I’m not sure if you have connected with the veterans clubs of those programs, it would help to do that. On one hand, it would give you better chances because you would learn more and hear some insider stories and on the other it will signal to the admissions that you have done your research and connected with folks. It will also help you with recruiting.

Though I just saw that you applied to all of these so fingers crossed and now we wait 🤞🙏👍

Hi AmbitiousPoppy
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, GMAT, GPA and work experience looks good for the schools you are targeting. However, to give a better and detailed profile review, I would like you to share more details about profile including impact at workplace.

Hi @AmbitiousPoppy , I hope you are doing well!

Your profile reflects a good technical background with 5 years of experience, a great 695 GMAT, and strong academic performance (8.13 GPA). Your awards in delivery excellence and innovation, combined with volunteer leadership, are great highlights. However, your transition into consulting will require a clear articulation of how your technical skills translate to consulting roles. Your lack of direct managerial experience may be a gap, so emphasize leadership in projects and any business impact you've made. A stronger focus on your consulting aspirations and aligning your achievements with these goals will enhance your application. Your profile seems to have good chances. What's going to matter most in your application is how you connect the experiential dots and build a great story to stand out from other applicants in the pool.

I am a white male looking to transition from being a SWE to a PM. I currently work at a very large financial services company, and ultimately will want to live on the west coast after my MBA.


3/26 - I did get a small scholarship from Kellogg, but less than 25%, so I marked this as having not gotten one at all.

8/3 - Decided against 2025 matriculation at Kellogg's MBAi program. Applying to 7 schools in R1. Got another promotion at work in the time between application years, and will now be matriculating with 3 YOE instead of 2.

Looks like you have great foundation with an awesome score. The only other consideration Adcom will have will be your undergrad (how elite or competitive it was).

You will only get stronger and more appealing as a candidate since you are at 2 years of work experience. Most of these programs are looking for folks with around 4-6 years (based on averages) as those folks get more suited for mid-management positions. With only 2-3 years you will need to demonstrate strong growth and maturity. The concern will be employability.

Thanks bb! My undergrad was USC in California, how do you think that would look to adcoms? I was promoted once last July, and I am on track for another promotion this July. I also had my own e-commerce business in college with 6 figure revenue totals at the end of it, which I'm hoping is unique experience that adds to my candidacy. I'm certainly hoping that all helps me out for this year!

Will look amazing! Both undergrad and experience.

PS. I would be totally giving it a shot. Just make sure you come off mature in the application and show confidence in the interview (not arrogance though) as that’s what Adcom will be concerned about.

Hi seahawksjoe
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your GMAT looks good for the schools you are targeting. I am slightly concerned about your years of work experience. Although I read about your promotions and your ecommerce business, I think they should add value to your profile. I would also recommend that you add a few safe schools too. It will also be important for you to demonstrate impact at workplace.
