Hi

I am Harsha am applying for the LBS/ INSEAD MIM program for the Class of 2027 and am preparing for the first application round. I have achieved an average GRE score of 326 with a verbal score of 162 and a quantitative score of 164. Academically, I hold a CGPA of 9.81 from ICFAI Hyderabad graduated in 2023.
My experience includes three internships, three years working in my family business as operations head during my under graduation where I worked in 3 site projects , and currently working in Pepsico as HR executive from 2023 July. And I am SME of one process at PepsiCo.

Additionally, I have gained international experience through work assignments for the USA, South Africa, and various APAC countries.Managing both my job and the family business makes it very challenging to find time for GRE preparation. I also have extra curriculum activities like I am the former head and founder member of entrepreneurship club in my college and worked in various community activities like PepsiCo plastic collecting program etc.

Can anyone rate my profile

Hey @Harsha141 , I hope you are doing well.

We see that you got dinged from LBS and INSEAD. We understand how tough it is to get a rejection from a school. It's a difficult moment, but it can also be a stepping stone to your success. We've put together an article on the " Major reasons why your MBA Application got dinged. " It provides some understanding of mistakes you might have made and improve them next time. Take a moment to review it, reflect on what you can adjust, and get ready to put your best foot forward next time. You’ve got this!

If you plan to apply for some more schools in the next rounds/ intake, we’d be happy to evaluate your profile and help refine your strategy. Together, we can identify strengths, address gaps, and ensure you present your best story to your dream schools.
