Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, you have got decent academics, international exposure, and a nice mix of finance + real estate + large-scale investment work, which fits perfectly with your consulting goals.

The 635 GMAT Focus is decent for M7/T15 targets, but your unique background -Azerbaijan, strong work impact, MBB collaboration, CFA + FMVA and the government scholarship are big differentiators. You clearly have leadership and community involvement too, which rounds things out nicely. You will have to focus on the essays and recommendations (which sound very strong) and you will stand out as a unique, mission-driven international applicant. Overall, you’re a competitive candidate with a distinct story.

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!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.
