Hey
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, for your target schools, your GPA is fine, but it’s hard to properly judge your competitiveness without knowing more about your investment banking experience. IB roles vary a lot by deal size, client exposure, industry coverage, and progression, so your role title, promotions, transaction experience, leadership moments, international exposure, certifications, and extracurriculars will matter a lot.

Schools will want to understand the impact you’ve had across your five years, and how your MBA will help you move to the next stage of IB or related finance roles. With more info, you may actually be more competitive than you think, especially since African applicants are under-represented, so please share more details to give you a better evaluation.

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.
