Hey @user8221 ,

I hope you are doing well.

Firstly, wish you all the best for the schools that you are yet to hear back from.

We can also see that you have received rejection from few of the schools. 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.

Interested? Let’s connect and start planning your path forward!

Hi user8221
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, it's sad to hear about your ding and waitlist from most of your target schools. Were you able to identify what might have gone wrong. Identifying the shortcoming will be crucial to help you achieve an admit at Darden PT-MBA which you plan to apply in R2. Your GMAT score looks strong and even your GPA is kind of okayish. Did you lack leadership skills or impact at workplace? Does your profile include aspect which helps you stand out amidst the pool of applicants.
