Hey Abhinav
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your IB background at PwC is solid and aligns well with your pivot to consulting. Your GPA looks on the lower side. The sports achievements (TT nationals + football) add nice flavor for ECs.

The main challenge will be showing leadership/impact in a short timeframe and demonstrating maturity to handle post-MBA consulting roles. ISB typically prefers 3–5 years of work experience, but they do take strong early-career candidates if the story/trajectory is compelling while NUS tends to be more flexible on work ex. A competitive GMAT/GRE will be critical here to offset the relatively short experience and help you stand out. Overall, you’ve got a good technical/finance foundation and well-rounded profile, but you’ll need to make your “why MBA now” very sharp to convince Adcoms you’re ready this early.

Jenifer (CEO, ARINGO MBA Admissions) is hosting a live coffee chat on Sept 20 about building a strong Round 2 MBA app in just 90 days.
