Hi @Dhanush_Raja
Thanks for reaching out.

So, an 8.98 GPA is very good and you’ve got a good brand credibility via your experience with US Big 4 banks. But you need to provide more context into your work and responsibilities and outcomes. Also, with 4 yrs of experience, you’re already in the typical experience range for many B-Schools. You also have entrepreneurial experience which is a compelling angle to your profile but need to understand how you’ve been able to grow this so far. The additional pursuits will make good narratives for personal statement questions. Also, what’s your post-MBA plan within the tech space? We need to understand this to better assess which schools will be a good feeder for you. So please be specific about your postgrad goals. If you see yourself scaling your startup or something like that then please emphasize that.

As for your GMAT, consider targeting 720+ because this can help you a lot even with scholarships.

We’d love to offer a free 1-on-1 profile evaluation to discuss more about your profile, talk through your fit across schools, and co-create a tailored application game plan!

Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, I see a compelling and well-rounded profile. Strong academics, solid tech experience with a US Big 4 bank, and standout leadership through your state-level entrepreneurship cell role. The music angle adds personality and makes you memorable.

Your goal to stay in tech fits perfectly with your background, and a GMAT around 705 will put you in a highly competitive spot for NUS, Said, and especially Cornell Tech, where your startup + engineering mix aligns really well. Overall, you have a strong, differentiated profile that can do very well once you land that higher GMAT.

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.
