Great profile. Top GPA+ Work exp at Google+ international experience make you a very competitive applicant. the past entrepreneurial experience is an added bonus. regarding your goals- I would put some more thought into the viability of starting up immediately after b-school. For many international applicants, this can be a deterrent given the H1B visa issues and loans MBAs need to pay off post-MBA. Also, you will need to make sure that if you are writing about starting a company post MBA, you can still justify the need for an MBA (for most entrepreneurs it makes more sense to start their ventures rather than make investment in an MBA).

Hey @Aspirant_ ,

Your profile looks impressive, with good academic achievements, work experience, and strong leadership potential. A 9.15 GPA from a top-tier engineering university and 4 years at Google, including international exposure and a promotion, position you well for top MBA programs. Your entrepreneurial experience, including running startups and generating $20K in revenue, sounds nice and is a plus, which demonstrates initiative and problem-solving skills. Leading the alumni association in the Bay Area showcases your leadership and community engagement. Additionally, your post-MBA goal of starting a company is compelling, but it’s crucial to clearly define the problem you want to solve and explain how the MBA will help you achieve this. What’s going to matter most in your application is how you connect the experiential dots highlighting your entrepreneurial mindset and leadership impact and build a great story to stand out from other applicants in the pool.
