INSEAD would of course be the usual suspect and recommendation in this case. I feel maybe Cambridge or Oxford could also be safeties. 🤷‍♂️

The US programs tend to be strong forgetting a job in the US but I’m not sure about Asia. I assume you’re open to working in the US after graduation?

M sevens are going to be very hard. It’s very competitive especially with the applications going up 20% last year 👀

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I’m open to working in the US and would like to stay there for several years post MBA. Should I choose other safer schools in your opinion?

It is hard to tell frankly. I have known an applicant who was a moderator last year - she was from China with 760, worked in FAANGS in China and her only issue was perhaps that she only had 3 years of work experience but she was pretty mature and a good speaker. At the end, she struck out in all M7s, Ross, and Fuqua. She got $$ at LBS and INSEAD i believe. So with that in mind, and unsure as to what went wrong, I would say it helps to have 1-2 safety programs.

Hi leopoldtw
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, I wish you luck for your interview at Stern and believe the interview at Fuqua was really good. I am assuming that you have put a really strong application. A 675 FE stands at about 730, which looks good to me for the schools you are targeting. Also, I must mention, your selection of schools in R1 and R2 looks good.
