I think you have some great extracurriculars and it would be great for you to possibly pair those down and achieve greater focus there. So I want you to switch your orientation from *activity* to *impact* (solving important problems,in sum) and that’s what they’ll be looking for. I sat this because I think that the leadership aspect needs to be heightened a great deal.

Will you be continuing with entrepreneurship? If that’s the case apply January term next year.
Just I feel like your work experience is not signaling any clear identity right now. You might honestly want to wait another year beyond next year. And take that time to really make an organizational impact at work and outside of work.

Unfortunately with regards to your GMAT don’t think 720 is going to get the job done unfortunately I think 740+ would be better for CBS. And of course just exhaust your ability to get a better score that’s the name of the game.

If you do apply next year I would caution you about applying LBS, you really need either a stellar impact working at a high-level or five years of work experience plus. And they also care about the international factor.

Hi, Anirudh16,

Thank you for your post!

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on backing a 770 in your GMAT; that's quite an exception, even for someone with a maths background. You did great! Also, you have a good overall GPA, and it seems you would have strong academic stats; however, I would like you to add more to your statistics since you are from an overrepresented pool of candidates so that we can gauge your actual chances at top B-schools.

Coming to your profile, your work experience is low, and you need professional accolades, international exposure, and good & dynamic ECAs to make it to the top B-schools. Moreover, it would help if you mention whether you are targetting Indian, American, European, Canadian B-school, or any other top B-school.

I think your profile is brief at some points (even other than professional information), so it's difficult to gauge schools for you accurately. I would like to know about your ECas, accolades, and international exposure to suggest schools for you. However, you are still quite young and must be extremely clear on how an MBA can help you reach your goals and mention your motivation/driving force, your aspirations, and finally, why you think it's a good choice for you to go for an MBA now and you have relevant skills to be successful! If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further help you with shortlisting MBA programs; feel free to book a free session with us at your convenience.

Interact with the current B school students and industry experts who’ll help you prepare a roadmap for your R1 applications for top B schools

Hi, Amritaroy1995,

Thank you for your post!

First of all, I would like to say you do have a stellar academic profile along with some great ECAs and community service examples that would provide an additional boost to your profile. If you can back 730+ in your GMAT, it would definitely increase your chances at top B-schools like Wharton and Stanford.

Coming to your work experience, you did well describing your role; however, in order to bank upon them, you need to elaborate more about crucial projects assigned, examples of leadership, skill-set developed, all about professional accolades, As international exposure/experience is greatly valued at this stage by schools like LBS and Columbia, it would be important for you to cover it with your sustainable jewelry startup which seems interesting, speaking more about it will add diversity to your profile and start an interesting conversation between you and AdComs. Your ECAs are diverse and quite strong ECAs, which could be very well used in your essays to add additional points to your profile. I would also like you to elaborate more on the new challenges faced, the leadership role you played, the impact created by you, and a bit more about the overall experience.

Overall you have a good profile, but since you switched roles in the past and want to pursue marketing, coming from a technical background, you need to give strong reasons why you think it was a good time for you to switch and why you want to switch again? In addition, what were your aims & aspirations regarding your new role/future role, and how would you say it isn't something closely related to your endurance. Finally, you need to link your past experiences and skill-set in your diverse tenure with your post-MBA goals. For your reference, I suggest you go through our article on How you can justify your career switch to pursue an MBA for a career change!, this would most certainly help provide insights and help you structure your profile accordingly. Right now, I need more information as I feel your profile is still brief at certain points in work experience. Also, I would say you must plan this year to diversify your knowledge and skill-set regarding marketing to back your post-MBA goals. If you are open to suggestion Fuqua, Ross, Haas and Kellogg are some schools good for marketing as post-mba goal. If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further help you with shortlisting MBA programs; feel free to book a free session with us at your convenience.

To begin with, I want you to be informed that, since you come from a candidate pool that is heavily represented, you must get a GMAT score of at least 730 in order to boost your chances of admission to prestigious MBA programmes throughout the world. It's a little brief when it comes to your profile. I would like you to go into further detail about your tasks and responsibilities, previous leadership experiences, applicable skills you have acquired, and the results of your work.

In addition, you must provide solid explanations for your decision to switch industries after earning your MBA. What goals do you have for a career in management consulting? What connections could you make between your prior roles and this new one? In order to rely on your ECAs, you need to include more information about your contribution, including the difficulties you overcame, the leadership responsibilities you took on, the results you achieved, and the useful skills you acquired via them. Don't forget to expand on your volunteer work and theatre group, as these details will help your profile score more points.

You have a good profile overall, but it's tough to accurately assess schools for you because you haven't taken the GMAT yet. However, you must be very clear about how an MBA can assist you in achieving your objectives. You should also mention your motivation or driving force, your aspirations, and finally, why you believe it's a good decision for you to pursue an MBA at this time and that you have the necessary skills to be successful.

For younger applicants they are really looking for impact and I think the project he worked on sounds really interesting but I'm not seeing any specific result that we can assign to the work you've done there. So really do your best to articulate what the value is that you delivered as a part of that project. Have your recommenders speak to that as well. And I would say the same for your extracurriculars we kind of want to move from I'm a member of this and a part of that too I lead this committee/initiative and got this result (impact focus). Like really think a lot about all of the problems that you have solved at work and as part of the foundation. Was there some type of a result that you got teaching the underprivileged kids? did any of them pass their exams as a result of your involvement? Btw And I really like the theater group part it's helpful to kind of mention things that are relatable to the admissions committee and help them see you as a whole person.

Management consulting is a pretty common goal and so I'm hoping that you have some experiences to relay as to why you feel that's a good fit for you and while you have a passion for that. Because I'm not seeing a lot of these things I'm mentioning that would put some upward pressure on the GMAT you would need to be competitive but I just don't think I'm seeing the entire picture yet. I would say 730 plus to be competitive, you're part of a pretty overrepresented profile group as an Indian person in IT. The female part does help a lot. You just really want to maximize discussing hobbies and things like that that are going to separate you from others and nice thing about the Columbia application boxes is that it's completely unlimited in that area. Really concentrate on bringing yourself to life for the admissions committee so that they get to know you as your friends would know you.

Hi now that the application has opened for January term I'm hoping that you were able to bring up your GMAT a little bit. If you havent might give some serious consideration to doing the executive assessment, it's a bit of a back door because they don't have any published statistics and you won't be dragging down their average. And it shouldn't require much more effort on top of the GMAT.

I've actually worked before with a Chinese female architect so I understand what you do pretty well. And of course Colombia is a good school for that. In your goals essays make sure to articulate specifically what you what is the end goal for your family business when you say sustainable growth in management what does that look like? I think the executive in residence program might be helpful to mention.

I like that there's a lot of extra curricular stuff here, make sure to articulate the impact of that and also the passion behind it. There's a lot of room to discuss that in the online application so make good use of that space.

I think establishing an educational foundation sounds like an awesome goal, and they probably have some good courses in nonprofit financial management that you might refer to.

I like that your profile is really suited to January term because the acceptance rate is much higher almost twice as much so even if maybe you don't feel your profile is exactly perfect I think it would probably still be beneficial to submit for it. Make sure to get a recommendation from a client and not a family member, someone who speaks to your leadership/teamwork/problem solving skills!

Hi,
Adding my profile summary asking for any feedback. Also adding questions below - thanks in advance for your help!

I'm 29, French Citizen, speaking 6 languages fluently (mostly romance languages as well as japanese). I have a BsC in Quant finance from a top 10 European business school (did very poorly just being an irresponsible kid - 3.2 GPA). I also have an MS in analytics from a large US school (Stats, Python SQL, R coding experience - 3.8 GPA).
4 years work experience: 1 year internship at a Fortune50 medical company. 1 year working as a data science analyst for a Big4 consulting firm supporting strategy teams. 2 years at a boutique specialist (healthcare ~100 people) strategy firm working directly with large firm C-suite. Currently a manager of their data team overseeing 3-4 consultants - have PMed large projects with high visibility and foresee strong letters of reference.
I have 2 years of full-time church volunteering experience for my church in Japan (teaching English, teaching about Christianity, translating for local Brazilian congregations etc). I also volunteer doing pro-bono consulting for smaller start ups internationally.

I've taken the GMAT (got 710) but planning to take again soon, aiming for 730+.
I have decent hopes but working in a niche healthcare space and not coming from a large feeder firm.
My interests after graduation are the cross section of AI and healthcare, medical devices and entrepreneurship.

Questions (aside from any profile feedback!)
- What are my chances and what resonates most with Columbia admissions?
- In my most recent practice tests I just can't do well in Quant under test conditions for the life of me; currently fluctuating between 55th-75th percentile in Q, but consistently 95th+ percentile in Verbal and 8+/12 in IR (730-740 range). Is this going to be a deal breaker? Given that I do quant modeling all day is that going to offset this issue with my GMAT?

Thanks all!

Bjr tgubbay1

I would recommend that you switch to the GRE honestly. I worked with a French national who had a similar experience with the GMAT, studied hard for over a year, and maxed at 650. Took the GRE cold and his math was amazing (would recommend this switch especially if data sufficiency isn’t gelling for you; GRE is more straightforward.) Got into Wharton. It’s possible it wont be a deal breaker but I would feel apprehensive about submitting a quant and is under 70th%. Not sure which schools you are applying to, but you might also take the EA (CBS accepts it) which is GMAT-light – if you get a 12+ on quant there they will be convinced and then you don’t have to worry about submitting a score that is lower than the class average/median for that school because the EA scores are not published and it does not impact their ranking. Taking the EA cold might be the fastest path to CBS if you want to submit early due to rolling admissions. I do feel the MS would help however it also kind of creates the expectation that you “should” do well on this; if you do go the direction of submitting a lowish GMAT make sure to speak to whatever might be going on for you in the optional essay.

tgubbay1:

Thanks for posting. Responses to your two questions:

- What are my chances and what resonates most with Columbia admissions?

A: If you can pull off a 730+, you should have a shot. I think it's an uphill battle with your GPA though that's only one weakness. Would you consider Early Decision? That would really boost your chances, especially with Columbia.

- In my most recent practice tests I just can't do well in Quant under test conditions for the life of me; currently fluctuating between 55th-75th percentile in Q, but consistently 95th+ percentile in Verbal and 8+/12 in IR (730-740 range). Is this going to be a deal breaker? Given that I do quant modeling all day is that going to offset this issue with my GMAT?

A: It won't be a dealbreaker, but you will need be proactive about addressing this component. You can counter these concerns by speaking to your modeling in your essays and resume and having your recommenders speak to your strengths in modeling/quant in their letters.

At the same time, you don't need to overdo the talk of quant or you'll look like you're overcompensating and you will also be sacrificing all of the other good qualities that will help differentiate you from the competition. It's a balancing act.

Hi, looking for some chance assessments of my current profile, Pleases kindly evaluate my profile, thank you!

targeting class of 2025 CBS(ED, 1st-time applicant), Booth(R1, reapply), Wharton (R1, reapply), got an interview with Booth in the last application cycle but was denied.

My major concern is GPA might be kinda low since M7's average is around 3.6, and feel like the overall profile is not strong enough.

some personal info:
25 years old Taiwanese male,
GRE 329 (V160, Q169) (GMAT 740 equivalent according to the ETS converter), GPA 3.4 from top 20 US undergrad, econ& math and music double major, completed in 3.5 years.

5 years working exp upon matriculation: 0.5 year in the family construction business as a project manager oversaw on-site construction projects. 3 years in Top 5 local IB as an analyst completing several IPO deals including 1 international client, performing intensive due diligence, and financial modeling. 1.5 years in Global fortune 500 IB ( top 3 in the region) as an associate also doing IPOs with similar tasks but more reponsibility.

Start-up experience: 2.5 years- established a personal golf equipment retail business for club-retailing, custom fitting and personal coaching. annual revenue around 30K USD. Also a golf avid and single-digit handicapper shooting in the high 70s.

Ex curriculum:
undergrad: University Symphony Orchestra 1st Violin(3.5 years), Chamber music society string quartet 1st violin (3 years), local meditation center meditation lesson mentor and volunteer leader organizing volunteer events (3.5 years), school baseball club vice-captain, starting short-stop, orgaining training sessions and freshman recruiting(3 years)
post-undergrad: local meditation center meditation lesson mentor, volunteer leader organizing volunteer events, annual celebrating events music director and performance segment leader(total a group of 100 in front of a 20K audience) (4 years), joint sponsor golf club fitting events: team up with local golf coaches to give free swing and equipment assessment to pros and amateurs, also as a way to expand customer bases for my startup (2 years), local softball team vice-captain and starting short-stop (2 years)

STG: I will continue working in the investment banking industry. I always feel accomplished when I successfully assist my clients in expanding their operation size and reaching groundbreaking results through capital raising in the capital market. Having only worked in the smaller Taiwanese capital market, I have had limited opportunities to participate in bigger deals and work with international clients. In the next three to five years, I want to work as vice president at bulge bracket IBs in New York such as Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs, and strive to launch IPOs for international unicorns. With solidified financial and business fundamentals, I will deploy my financial modeling and deal pitching skills together with a solid understanding of the IPO launching process to bring in big deals for my company. On the other hand, I will keep running my golf equipment retail start-up, but more as a recreational side-hustle that I can do in my free time, as my full-time career in IB will require the majority of my focus.

LTG: I will continue my career in both the IB and sports industries. Within fifteen years I will return to the Taiwanese market and become a top management member and eventually the CEO of one of the larger local investment banking firms in the region. I want to expand the local market size by attracting and listing more international clients in Taiwan as a way to facilitate the process of loosening rules regarding to public listing. The Taiwanese government posts very strict regulations in relation to pre-listing companies’ earning tests, thus greatly limiting IPO possibilities for start-ups with negative earnings and resulting in start-ups refusing to list in Taiwan, such as electrical motorcycle manufacturer Gogoro Inc. The Taiwanese stock exchange welcomes international IPOs, but in order to attract more such listings, they must loosen up IPO rules case by case; therefore, I believe, after ten years of solid multi-billion deal experience in the international market, I can introduce more international clients and structure different IPO deal types such as SPAC and direct listing, which are not offered in Taiwan, to create a more dynamic market.

Meanwhile, working closely with the IB clients will complement my management and marketing skill sets and allow me to run and scale up my own enterprise, with the end goal of listing the company publicly. Besides growing my equipment-retailing business, I want to build two more sports-related companies, including a player agency specifically dedicated to representing Eastern Asian athletes. I want to help players establish their international reputations by enabling them to compete in more premier tournaments and possibly secure international sponsorship. Over time I will consider creating a tournament planning company designed to increase the number of tournaments held in greater Asia. Many Asian players struggle to get international recognition due to limited opportunities for tournament appearances. I believe my combined future enterprises can provide a comprehensive and integrated platform for talented players and will allow me to significantly raise the global profile of Asian golf and its players.

I wouldn't worry about your GPA too much I think there is a lot of valuable stuff in your profile that would offset those entries. I'm really confused about why you don't think your profile is strong enough. Super solid work experience and interesting experiences you can share with the classroom. Great extracurriculars I think it's awesome that you're a meditator and you're also a golfer I know there's actually some overlap there in reality but it shows you as well rounded, eclectic. Its awesome you have kept up with ECs even working in IB and that is a competitive advantage. There is an unlimited hobby section in the CBS app; use that to really distinguish yourself and help them understand you as a person.

If you are going back to IB you might consider applying for January intake unless you feel you need a BB internship to break in there. The acceptance rate is 40% and the network of entrepreneurs and family biz people might be more valuable. Just a thought.

If nothing big has changed in your profile not optimistic about reapplications, for anyone. If you are focused on finance schools I understand why, but as they say same application same results. Encourage you to also apply to fresh schools, ones that have essays that leverage your strengths. Apply to HBS. Brand might be helpful in raising money down the road. You can take 3 finance classes at MIT if case method is a concern there. That said, would give it my all on the CBS app.

Thank you very much for the assessment!

Yeah I would like to clarrify a few things that I am concern about and come to the conclusion of the profile is not solid enough:
1. I am from an over-represented application pool (eastern Asian male), and no US citizen/greencard
2. the IB experience I have is not from the target company that M7 prefer (BB, boutique) but only local Taiwanese IB firm in the Taiwanese market. We do IPO for local Taiwanese companies. Don't know if that a minus since I guess M7 prefer big name IB.

I have actually did some improvement since the last application cycle:
1. finding a new position as associate in the Global Fortune 500 Taiwanese IB
2. improve GRE from 326(V159 Q167) to 329 (V160 Q169)
3. last time I apply R2, I am applying for R1 this year since I am mostly ready by now( don't know if this count as a improvement)

MBAPrepCoach

I’m super aware that as an Asian male your stats. should be higher than the averages but I still think you stand out in a lot of ways. I think your work experience establishes a source of diversity and the additive to the classroom discussion. It’s not cookie-cutter and I think that’s a good thing. I’m glad that you have a material difference in your application from R2. I still think you should choose the binding option for Columbia and put a lot of effort on that application. Good luck!

Hey there,

First off an MBA is a manager's degree and generally requires work experience of 4-5 years or more. So let ,me clarify you, you would be competing against applicants with an average work experience of at least 5 years so It would be preferable if you have almost 4-5years of work experience.

Academically, you have a pretty good GMAT score of 710 and it would definitely work in your favour as it further illustrates your academic capabilities, allowing you to apply to most of the top colleges. While your grades do play an important part, your extracurricular activities and your other endeavours matter as well because AdComs are looking for applicants with holistically developed profiles.

As you are saying that now are extracurricular can be cons but according to me, you are working from 18, it shows your interests in academics which is a plus point.
And the strengths you depicted are exactly right. These are your strengths in your profile.

You must not cancel your GMAT Score as it is a pretty good score but If you think you can score more than this is on you. Your Entrepreneurship experience stands out. Your extracurricular stands out. Also, volunteer tutor work and helping a rural community adds a values in your application process. As you also have a Full scholarship record is a plus point.

As your target schools are: HWS, MIT and columbia
According to FT Ranking MIT and columbia are much better schools than HWS. and from MIT and Columbia, Columbia ranks 2. You can target both the targets. For Columbia you have a pretty GMAT score. Their requirements are 540–780 and middle average is 700–760 and you lie in the average range which is a good point. So you can target both.

Anirudh16 hope this finds you in good health

I agree with the previous comment. The schools look beyond academics, the GMAT, the undergrad pedigree, and the strong employer brand to judge your potential. You have a stellar GMAT favoring you therefore you should plan conscientiously grab professional opportunities that add a new dimension to your portfolio. If you feel you missed having that realization earlier, it is still not late as you are relatively young for the average MBA cohort at your target schools.

If you are ok to dedicate another 1-2 years working to enhance your profile, you can have a fair shot at the top 10 Schools down the line. This profile enhancement would need to show as a take-off point in your career graph. For example, you could negotiate an international assignment with your employer, or get into beginner roles in IB which also happens to be your post-MBA goal, or in the strategy team at a startup or at MBB where you get hands on experience on the business building blocks. I feel there would be no dearth of opportunities for someone with your credentials and IIT pedigree.

Best wishes

Hey
A 690 GMAT score is quite low and keeping in consideration Columbia’s current GMAT requirement for MBA which is 729, I would say your chances of getting admission are not that great with these scores.
I would suggest you should retake your GMAT and aim to score at least 710 or 720.

Keeping in mind your current GMAT scores I would recommend you to apply to UK schools as most universities there do not have a GMAT requirement.
You need to check the school website to see if you are eligible for their GMAT waiver

Your GPA is decent and you mentioned you have work experience, can you elaborate on your roles and responsibilities there.
And also mention your extracurricular activities, so I can evaluate your profile better.
