I work as an in house marketing consultant at one of the largest pharma companies in the world, where I have already received a promotion. I graduated from a tier 1 college with an engineering degree (but low CGPA). I held multiple PoRs in consulting/student orgs on campus with substantial contributions.
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile has some clear strengths for Kellogg, especially your experience at a global pharma company with an early promotion, which shows strong performance and impact. Coming from a Tier 1 engineering college also helps establish academic rigor, even though your GPA is on the lower side and will be a concern. That makes your upcoming GMAT very important, a strong score can help balance the GPA. Your leadership roles in consulting and student organizations add another positive layer, particularly if you can clearly show outcomes and influence. If you pair a strong GMAT with well-crafted stories around leadership, impact, and a clear consulting-focused post-MBA goal. Share more details on your exact role, measurable business impact, leadership scope, and what type of consulting you’re targeting post-MBA to get a better assessment of your chances.
