Good luck on the GMAT!
I’m not sure if in Sead is strong in PE. Probably have to recruit in London for it anyway… so any UK school would likely have similar chances unless in Seattle is really strong and pee, I just don’t know enough about that side of them.

PS. in the US PE is hard because they’re only so many spots and you basically want to target, booth and Columbia. But it is hard 😬 do you want to make sure that admissions sees your transition to private equity as easily achievable because if they don’t, they admit someone else with less ambitious goals.

Hi thanks for the reply, you’re right about the lack of roles which is why I’m flexible with my goals, in any case, it’s quite common for mba grads to be placed in consulting/ib and then transition to PE after so that is a path I’m very open to…I’m looking to remain in the APAC region which is why these are the only two schools I’m focused on!

Got ya! Not sure if NUS makes sense or if it’s not strong enough. I am weak in Asian schools 😇

PS. Good luck on the test!
Great job by the way getting the two CFA levels. I’ve heard it’s very hard. It’s a great proof of your accomplishments.

1. While ISB may not really help you much in your post MBA goals, INSEAD is also more focused on Consulting.
2. Your education abroad will help demonstrate your international exposure, and will differentiate you well from the pool of Indian applicants
3. The Fast career trajectory AND the CFA 2 will help buttress your application with solid results, that really will give the confidence to the reader
4. Depending on your involvement and the roles performed in the NGO, the work done there over time will help round off your profile.
5. The hobbies and other sports will also help add additional facets to your profile.

Of course, the key In all this would be to have a 750/+ GMAT AND a very strong application that is able to offer a compelling story that differentiates you from your competition, especially because most IB/PE profiles applying to MBA schools come with high GMATs and Strong Applications as pretty much hygiene factors.
