Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, I see a solid and well-structured foundation for deferred MBA programs. Your GPA in a commerce program with co-op experience already puts you in a strong academic position, and your GMAT score is also decent. Your mix of co-op terms at the CRA and Brookfield Renewable gives you a nice blend of public sector analytical experience and corporate exposure, which shows versatility and maturity.

Your volunteering with the Certified Listeners Society and involvement with the Taiwanese Student Association adds a good community and leadership touch, something deferred programs weigh heavily since applicants have limited work experience. For your essays, focus on showing clarity of goals — why investment management, what specific skills you want to build before your MBA, and how your early experiences sparked that interest. AdComs love to see direction and reflection at this stage.

You’ve got the right mix of academics, international exposure, and early leadership involvement, just make sure your essays show personal drive and how the deferred MBA fits into your long-term plan.

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
