Banking Apprenticeship at Credit Suisse AG
Working Student at the small family food import business
Co-founded a small startup in digital advertising
Internship at a mid sized, renowned boutique in Germany
GPA 5.3 / 6.0 (roughly top 15% at University of St. Gallen)
I'm actually planning to apply to the SIM (Strategy and International Management Master in St. Gallen), but it was not an option so I chose the closest one.

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Your profile looks strong for St. Gallen SIM. A 695 GMAT FE score is competitive, and a 5.3/6.0 GPA is actually a strong academic signal once put in context. Your background is also nicely differentiated: banking apprenticeship at Credit Suisse, hands-on exposure to a family food import business, a co-founded digital advertising startup, plus consulting exposure through a German boutique, that mix of finance, entrepreneurship, and real-world business fits SIM extremely well.
The key for you will be storytelling: clearly connecting how these experiences shaped your interest in strategy, international management, and eventually CPG. Make sure you explain why SIM specifically, how it fills gaps in your profile, and how it leads logically to your post-degree goals.
