Hi Arjun P,

Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations. My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO.

Academics: A 710 is fine for both INSEAD and Darden, placing you in a competitive position. If your class percentile is good, do mention that on your CV.

Professional Experience: With 2.3 years of experience, you fall within the lower range for both programs. Highlighting impactful achievements and leadership qualities in your application will be crucial.

Extracurriculars: Schools look for a well-rounded profile. Tell us about your hobbies and interests. Any volunteering work?

Career Transition: Your desire to pivot from fashion product management to consulting demonstrates initiative and a strategic career plan. Your long-term goal of starting your own consulting firm adds a unique dimension to your profile and aligns with INSEAD's emphasis on leadership and entrepreneurship.

This is a promising profile with a strong GMAT score and clear career goals. Highlighting your achievements, transferable skills, and reasons for pursuing an MBA will be crucial for success.

This evaluation provides a general overview, and a more comprehensive analysis might require further details about your specific achievements, career goals, and extracurricular activities. If you send me your CV and other info on priyankak@ARINGO.com , I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.

All the best!

Hey @Arjun P

You have a solid profile, with 2.3 years of work experience in fashion product management and consulting. You also have an above-average GMAT score and a clear post-MBA goal of starting a fashion consulting company in the USA, which aligns well with Cambridge’s entrepreneurial focus.

However, your GPA is slightly low, which may pose a challenge. To make your application stronger, emphasize your leadership abilities from other work experiences or relevant extracurricular activities you may have had. For instance, if you have ever worked for organizations concerned with matters of fashion, sustainability, or entrepreneurship, highlight what you did there as well as the skills obtained. This will make your application more compelling by showing commitment to these areas outside of work.

In addition, clearly articulate how an MBA will enable you to realize your ambitions as an entrepreneur. Address your GPA directly in your essays, providing a context where applicable, and also try to apply in round 1 or 2 to increase your chances of admission.
