Thank you for sharing your profile @tsdo! Your substantial work experience positions you as a seasoned candidate, which top MBA programs value, especially if it includes global exposure, leadership, and high-impact roles. However, you will be on the upper end of the work experience spectrum for full-time MBA programs. This means your application should clearly justify why now is the right time for an MBA and how it aligns with your long-term career goals.

Currently, we don’t have your GMAT or GRE scores, which are critical components for evaluation. For highly competitive programs like HBS and Wharton, a GMAT FE score of 695+ is generally expected, especially for applicants aiming for finance roles. A strong test score will not only make your profile more competitive but may also open up scholarship opportunities.

We’d love to understand your academic history, extracurricular involvement, professional experience, and personal journey in more detail so we can offer a more personalized evaluation of your profile and your potential at your target schools. If you'd like, feel free to book a profile evaluation session.

We are hosting a Coffee Session: “GMAT Strategy & B-School Application Tips from Experts” on 25th July, 2025 | ​9.00 PM IST | 11.00 AM ET. Know more details.

Cheers!
