Hi Noddy,

Your profile is exceptional — a combination of strong academic excellence, leadership, and global exposure. An 8.76 GPA from IIT Kharagpur, along with your incoming Associate role at BCG and diverse internships across consulting, finance, and research (Columbia, McMaster, Weekday AI), reflect outstanding analytical depth and versatility.

Your achievements — including Institute Order of Merit, global case competition wins, and entrepreneurial experience as a Co-Founder — position you strongly for top programs like Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford, as well as European options such as HEC Paris and INSEAD.

Given the ultra-competitive nature of these schools, a high GMAT score (ideally 740+ or 90th+ percentile in GMAT Focus) will be key to strengthening your already stellar profile and aligning it with M7 standards.

You’re clearly on an excellent trajectory toward your goals in Private Equity and Global Finance. We’d be happy to help refine your story, identify key themes for your essays, and tailor your strategy across your target schools.

Feel free to reach out at contact@involve-consulting.com
