• Currently Working at Gartner Inc as an Associate Data Analyst. It's been almost 1.5 years now.

• I did my graduation in Economics Honours from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. During undergrad - I was the President of my Department and I did hold other leadership positions within various teams. I also received a certificate of merit from my college for academic excellence and contribution to the department. xcellence and departmental contributions.
• I was the school topper in both 10th & 12th Grade at school, and consistent recipient of the School Scholar and All-Rounder badges for multiple years
• I'm also a professionally trained Bharatanatyam dancer for over 15 years; holds a Diploma in Indian Dance & Choreography (Application of Choreography in Teaching) from the International Dance Council (CID), UNESCO.


I'm thinking of applying to MiM programs next year since I don't think I have enough experience for MBA, and also I don't want to do any course from US (i know that can sound wierd). I wrote GMAT Focus edition recently and got a score of 615, but I'm looking to improve that.
I did want to apply to R3 for this cycle, and that's why I wrote GMAT - but I only score 615 and I kinda did not plan this intake, because I was majorly focused on CAT (did not get through). So I want to properly plan for next year/intakes

Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks good for MiM programs, and you’re thinking in the right direction by focusing on Europe and not rushing into an MBA yet. With about 2 years of experience, MiM is a much better fit than an MBA at this stage. Your background checks a lot of boxes: strong academics, clear leadership, consistent school-level excellence, and brand-name work experience.

The Bharatanatyam journey is a real differentiator and adds depth and discipline to your profile if presented well. Skipping R3 this year and planning properly for R1 next cycle is a smart move.

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.

Any reasons for rushing into an MiM and not waiting for an MBA? Please don't say you're late in life (compared to peers). In my view, an MBA will give your career a much better trajectory.
