Hi ItsOkayIGuess
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. It is sad to hear about you being dinged again. You seem to have a strong GMAT score with decent years of experience. Were you able to identify what might have been the reason for this? Analysis of what might have gone wrong is very important. Are you planning to apply in R2? If yes, which schools are you targeting?

If you plan to apply in R2 and wish to strategize on that, feel free to connect.

Good Luck!

Hey @ItsOkayIGuess ,

You have a strong foundation with 7 years in tech consulting at Deloitte and a good 710 GMAT score, making you a competitive candidate for MBA programs. Your experience at a top consulting firm lends credibility to your profile, showcasing your leadership and client engagement skills. To enhance your application, you shall consider retaking the GMAT to aim for a 10 or 20 points plus, especially if you're targeting top-tier schools or M7. Additionally, refine your post-MBA goals to specify whether you're pursuing a role in Product Management or Tech Strategy, as schools value clarity in career objectives. Highlight any relevant experiences, such as tech initiatives or cross-functional projects, to strengthen your case for this pivot. You can focus on targeting MBA programs known for their strengths in technology, like Kellogg or Berkeley Haas, and develop a compelling narrative that clearly articulates your career aspirations and the role an MBA will play in achieving them.

If you’d like, we are happy to discuss more details about your academics, work experience, leadership roles, challenges faced, achievements, impact, post- MBA goals and extracurriculars to assess your chances better and strengthen your application with impactful stories and leadership experiences.

Cheers!

Sorry about the ISB Ding - that is really annoying.... it seems your profile should not have too much of a challenge with their admissions. Any idea what made them not thrilled?
