Hi Aryan, how selective is the leadership program at Salesforce, and what would the growth progression look like if you do not go for an MBA at this point? Your growth potential is the key aspect that decides your admission at HEC and INSEAD in particular. Please do ample research on how the top schools evaluate candidates, and I am happy to guide you should you reach out. Mentoring two juniors is really no big deal, what other firm or team improvement initiatives have you taken? Five years is a long time to be with one company or in a particular industry. How have you grown in terms of your applied business knowledge during this time? Think: why would a recruiter want to hire you post-MBA? What do you bring to the table?

Your undergrad pedigree is solid, but you need to top it with a well-deliberated goals strategy based on the last five years.

Hi @aryan

Thanks for sharing your profile. Overall, it’s strong, but right now it comes across as a fairly typical “software professional targeting consulting,” which is a very crowded pool. You’ll need to sharpen your post-MBA goals and clearly articulate why consulting in a more differentiated way.

Focus on highlighting your career progression and leadership impact more explicitly to strengthen your case with the adcom. Your target school list looks reasonable. Also, aiming for a GMAT score above 675 would put you in a much stronger position.

All the Best!

Happy to connect if you’d like to discuss your profile in more detail.
