Worked in MBB for 5 years with 3 promotions. I specialize in tourism and tourism education and training. I plan to work in the hospitality industry post MBA (e.g., Marriott, Accor, IHG, etc.). I also went to culinary school in Paris for six weeks at Le Cordon Blue as a personal interest but also to understand how the industry develops and trains talent.

Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks strong for top schools. Five years at MBB with three promotions clearly shows high performance, leadership, and trust from the firm, that already puts you in a competitive pool. Your specialization in tourism and education, combined with a clear post-MBA goal in hospitality, makes your story focused and believable, not generic. The culinary training is a great personal and professional touch, it shows genuine interest in the industry and helps you stand out from typical consultants.

To strengthen this further, you should clearly show impact at work, explain why hospitality now and why an MBA is needed, and connect each target school to your goals. Overall, this profile is well-positioned, especially if your essays highlight leadership, people development, and long-term vision in the hospitality space.

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.

Your career trajectory looks strong. One quick question: are you currently working?

Also, check the roles you’re targeting after the MBA—do those companies/functions actively hire MBA graduates for those positions? Admissions committees will look closely at how clear and realistic your post-MBA plan is, and why an MBA is necessary (now) to reach it. If your goals and the MBA “need” connect tightly, your case becomes much stronger.

Bonjour/Marhaba - If the intent is to return to KSA post-MBA, then great. If not, then first check if the target organizations hire international MBAs or not. This one variable in your applications can kill your candidacy.
