Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your GMAT score is a bit low for FT programs like Wharton and Stanford. Your GPA is also a slight concern; I would suggest a retake and aim for a score close to 715 as it will compensate for your GPA. For top global B-schools, I would recommend applying with atleast 3+ years of full-time work experience. Your ECs look strong and can make your profile stand out amidst the pool of applicants.

Good Luck!
You bring a differentiated story with national-level sports credentials, leadership roles at Decathlon, and a rare sustainability angle.
That’s a potent mix, especially for Kellogg, INSEAD, and HEC. The GMAT Focus 665 is below M7 averages, but your athletic excellence and brand ambassadorship could more than compensate if your essays are sharp.
You’ll need to craft a tight narrative that links sports, sustainability, and consulting. Schools like Tuck and Duke could also be strong cultural fits. Let’s connect one-on-one and build a game plan to make these strengths work for top schools.
