Hi everyone, my name is Kadabra, and I’m seeking advice and recommendations from the GMAT Club community as I prepare for my MBA journey. I have almost six years of professional experience across the telecommunication, fintech, and insurance industries, working as a finance professional with expertise in financial reporting, analysis, and operations.
I hold a Second Class Upper degree in Accounting and recently achieved a GRE score of 332/340. Outside of work, I’m deeply passionate about social impact — I’ve managed two NGOs and founded my own nonprofit initiative, which has fed over 6,000 people in Ghana over the past five years.
I’m currently targeting MBA programs in Europe and a few schools in the U.S., with the goal of strengthening my leadership and strategic management skills. I’d greatly appreciate insights from the community on school selection, scholarships, and application strategy based on my profile.

Your profile seems to have a good foundation in the insurance and financial services industry, with experience across multiple sectors, which can be leveraged for your post-MBA goals in consulting. However, your GPA of 68/100 might require additional context or mitigation, such as strong test scores (GMAT/GRE), certifications, or leadership experiences to strengthen your academic narrative. Your short-term goal to work with a consulting firm in the U.S. aligns well with MBA programs focused on global exposure and consulting pipelines. Be prepared to clearly articulate your long-term vision of starting a consulting firm in Africa and how the MBA will uniquely position you to achieve it. Highlight leadership roles, measurable impact, and transferable skills in your application.
If you’d like, we are happy to discuss more about your work experience, leadership skills, impact created, challenges faced, awards and achievements and extracurriculars to assess your chances to top B-schools and strengthen your application with impactful stories.
