Hey
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, a 695 GMAT FE paired with an 8.18 CGPA in Computer Science from VIT makes you academically very competitive. Your school grades are solid too, and top European schools like INSEAD, HEC, ESSEC, and LBS will appreciate your entrepreneurial mindset and tech foundation at such an early stage.

Founding Brooski, a platform addressing real-world problems in Tier 2/3 India, gives you a practical and mission-driven edge. That kind of hands-on startup and product experience, along with your exposure to user research and strategy, will really resonate at schools like INSEAD and HEC, which look for future leaders with global potential. Your profile is also a good fit for Booth's MiM, which values analytical rigor and early leadership.

What’s your long-term vision for Brooski, do you plan to return to it post-MiM, or are you looking to build tech leadership experience first? And how are you planning to showcase your leadership and teamwork experience from college and your startup?

Also, to help sharpen your positioning across platforms, ARINGO is offering a free LinkedIn profile optimization, which can help you better align your story for both adcoms and recruiters.

Hi @aaron102,
Adding to the already strengths in your profile, given your ORM status (Indian Male Engineer), you have done well to differentiate yourself with your Internship, and your Entrepreneurial work. At TheIvyLeague Edge, having helped many applicants to admissions to their dream programs with scholarships, I can confidently see that you could project great applications. INSEAD, LBS & HEC in the same order, will also want your post MiM goals to be expressed with articulate clarity, your LORs to list your demonstrable behavioral traits, and your application to tie it all together with a unifying theme.

Hope that helps. For a free, 1-to-1 profile review over the phone, please submit your profile on TheIvyLeagueEdge(dot)com/index(dot)php/contactus/

Hello,

For an MiM applicant, you have a strong academic base, a Computer Science degree from VIT with an 8.18 CGPA, plus excellent school performance. Your GMAT Focus score (695, 98th percentile) is highly competitive for MiM programs at INSEAD, HEC, LBS, and ESSEC.

Your entrepreneurial experience as the technical founder of Brooski is the centerpiece of your profile. A hyperlocal gig platform addressing service gaps in Tier 2/3 India demonstrates problem-solving, innovation, and market awareness. Make sure you clearly communicate traction, number of users, partnerships, funding (if any), or pilots. This real-world execution experience will stand out compared to most MiM applicants who often lack substantial work exposure.

The six-month internship adds applied technical experience, but for your target programs, they’ll want to see how you translate tech expertise into leadership potential and cross-functional collaboration. Emphasize decision-making, market research, and product strategy over coding tasks.

Given your entrepreneurial ambitions, frame your post-MiM goals as tech-enabled business leadership, positioning the MiM as the bridge from product creation to global scaling. Also, highlight soft skills, adaptability, cultural fluency, and communication, as they’re critical for consulting or tech leadership tracks.
