Helping applicants achieve their MBA dreams since 2011
Your profile looks very solid overall — a Chartered Accountant with a strong academic record (9.58 GPA), valuable international exposure (India + UAE), and experience in a Big 4 firm forms a great base for top MBA programs. Your volunteering experience adds well-roundedness and demonstrates community engagement — a definite positive.
With your current background, ISB, INSEAD, and LBS appear to be strong fits, especially if you can articulate your consulting experience and leadership impact effectively. To further strengthen your competitiveness, we’d recommend aiming for a strong GMAT score, which can also open doors to HEC Paris and other top-tier European programs.
Overall, you have an excellent foundation — with the right GMAT and a focused application strategy, your profile can be very competitive across global schools.
If you’d like a detailed profile evaluation, we’d be happy to help you map out your next steps and refine your school list. Please reach out to us at contact@involve-consulting.com

We would love to learn more about your academic background, extracurricular activities, professional experiences, and personal journey so we can offer a more tailored assessment of your profile and evaluate your chances at your target schools more accurately. Feel free to book a profile evaluation session.
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks strong and well-rounded. Being a CA with Big 4 risk advisory experience already puts you in a solid spot for your target schools. Your academic record also looks strong. The international exposure in the UAE adds a nice global element, which AdComs at schools like INSEAD and HEC value a lot.
The volunteering work adds some balance to your professional story and shows social awareness, though you could build a bit more leadership depth outside of work if time allows. With a strong GMAT/GRE and clear post-MBA goals, you’ll be a competitive applicant. You will also have to focus on connecting your consulting experience to your long-term vision.
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!
