- Dean's List ( Top 5% of batch) winner twice [ BMS from a tier 2 college ]
- Ran a startup in college selling handicrafts made by visually impaired and specially abled people
- While in college I interned for one summer at a international health organization and during another at a big 4 consulting firm.
- Graduated with High distinction
- Was Treasurer of Business society on campus, helped organize multiple events
- Currently working at a consulting firm specializing in Bankruptcy processing and have worked on projects with crypto exchanges, pharmaceuticals and renewable energy. Internship at the firm from Jan,2024 to Jul,24. Full time from Aug,24 to now. Recently got promoted to Associate. Have organized multiple fun events in office tho nit sure if that is relevant.
[ For my profile evaluation, please tell me
1) If i should retake my gmat and what score would be a safe one
2)what can I be doing to add to my profile in terms of extra-curricular activities and/or projects, I used to compete in taekwondo in school and during my break year I was involved in teaching self-defense but have not done that in years. I give tuitions to kids in my colony to make ends meet but it is genuinely something that brings me joy. not sure how that can tie into the mba story. I want to pivot towards business strategy and/or entrepreneurship, work at someplace that brings meaning and passion into my life, perhaps make some real impact. ]

This is a solid early-career consulting profile with real leadership and social impact, not just checkbox internships.
What works well
Dean’s List twice + High Distinction → strong academic signal despite tier-2 college
Startup with visually impaired artisans → genuine impact + entrepreneurship, very MBA-friendly
Big 4 internship + niche consulting (bankruptcy, crypto, pharma, renewables) → good problem exposure
Early promotion to Associate → positive trajectory
Treasurer role → actual responsibility, not fluff
What needs tightening
GMAT is the swing factor (you didn’t mention the score, which itself is a red flag in apps)
If targeting top programs: aim for 695–715 GMAT Focus as a “safe” range
Work ex is still on the lower side → schools will expect clarity of direction, not exploration
On extra-curriculars
Teaching self-defence + tutoring kids = keep this. It fits perfectly with your impact narrative
Don’t add random stuff now. Deepen one thread: education, empowerment, or access
Taekwondo only matters if you re-engage meaningfully (coaching, competitions, NGO tie-ups)
Story angle that works
Consulting + restructuring → strategy exposure
Social venture + teaching → purpose
MBA → scaling impact through strategy / entrepreneurship (not vague “passion”)
I’d be happy to walk you through where you stand for your target schools, GMAT strategy, and how to sharpen this story into a compelling application.
