Hi @Skkay , I hope you are doing well.

With 4 years of experience in accounting, your profile brings a good foundation in finance and analytical skills, which can be a valuable asset for transitioning into consulting. Your GRE score of 329 is a strong point and will strengthen your candidacy, especially given your GPA of 3.2, which is slightly below the average for competitive programs. To address the GPA, it’s essential to highlight your academic rigor in specific courses or certifications, such as CPA or other relevant qualifications, if applicable.

Your post-MBA goal of transitioning into consulting is realistic given your background, but you’ll need to clearly articulate how your accounting experience equips you with transferable skills, and why an MBA is critical for your transition. Additionally, showcasing leadership experience, teamwork, and problem-solving in your accounting roles will be essential for standing out.

Overall, with a well-crafted narrative and strong focus on leadership, impact, and readiness for consulting, you have the potential to secure admission to competitive MBA programs.

As we have very little information now, we cannot comment much on your profile. If you’d like, we are happy to discuss your 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.
