Hey, mani007


Your profile for top MBA programs is strong, with over 6 years of working experience in tech, high GRE scores and a good GPA. You want to continue creating impactful technology products and eventually start your own business, both of which can easily be accomplished through an MBA.

Top programs such as UCLA Anderson, Foster, Tepper, Fuqua, Scheller, and McCombs will provide you with the right knowledge on how businesses operate as well as practical exposure and networking opportunities that will help you reach your goals. These programs have flexible curricula offering many electives, allow students to tackle real-world business problems, and possess vibrant start-up communities.

To enhance your applications, emphasize leadership experiences by quantifying the impact you have had on others and composing persuasive essays that narrate your story, uniquely fitting into every program.

With your strong profile and clear goals, you have a solid chance of gaining admission to these top MBA programs. Therefore, applying in Round 1 would give you an edge over other candidates who also apply at the same time despite having very different backgrounds from yours. Good luck with your application!

Let's connect and discuss your profile in detail and help you craft a killer application .Click here to schedule a complimentary profile evaluations session with our experts . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools.

What is the scale against which one should look at your GPA: 7, 8, or 10? It could mean a huge difference if it is on 7 or on 8 / 10. If is 8 / 10, then you need to beef up your candidature much more, including improving your GRE scores.

Scores are a defense and, hence, the foundation of your candidacy, especially since you are an Indian, a male, and an engineer - three attributes you cannot change. I will skip my queries on the rest of your narrative for now.

I should have added that GPA is scored on 10. Missed adding the context

Hi @Mani007
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Regarding your profile, your six years of product management expertise and your high GRE score put you in a good position for top MBA programs. Your enthusiasm for using technology to have a positive social effect is admirable and has the potential to weave a compelling story in your application. Your target schools align well with your career goals.

While your work experience and GRE is impressive, your GPA is on the lower end. Can you justify your low score? Are there any valid reasons to support it? You can also compensate for this by highlighting other academic achievements, such as challenging coursework, research projects, or academic awards.

You should work on crafting a compelling narrative, and also optimizing your application materials to maximize your chances of admit. One thing that impresses the adcoms is ‘impact’ try justifying it statistically wherever possible. With 6 years of experience, I am sure there would be several strong impactful projects which you can highlight in your application. You have also mentioned using technology for helping less fortunate people, do you have a plan for it? Or are there any examples you can share with the adcoms. This would help your profile stand out amidst the pool of applicants.
