Hi
RBHIDE,
Thanks for your post!
First, I would say that you have a vast range of ECAs and some great ones too! Also, you have a good overall GPA and important certifications, giving your profile an overall boost!
Now, coming to your GMAT, I would say that you need to improve that a bit and be thorough with the subject at hand. Also, since you have a bit lower work experience than average candidates, you need to be brilliant on other fronts!
Also, as I said, you do have some interesting ECAs, and I would like to know more about them in detail. Like what skill-set you developed while working in different fields and how the Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification adds to your relevant skills required for the program.
Also, since you are applying to the MBA program in Supply Chain Management, you must understand the values and requirements of the program. Moreover, since the program looks for values like Leadership, Diverse Personality, Impact on the community, Clear Vision, your ECAs could be a great way to showcase all those qualities, making you a perfect applicant for the MBA program.
All in all, I would say work on improving your GMAT. Your post-MBA goals seem realistic; it would most certainly boost your chances of admission. Hence, apart from a robust profile and strong ECAs (that you have), other major factors include essays and interviews. You need to make your essays unique. Also, you need to draft your content into stories essays and present them gracefully in front of the adcom. In any case, if you feel like you need to discuss your profile or have any further doubts about your application, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!
