Hi!
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I meant to write Fuqua but instead wrote Ross. I'll edit the original post too.

Thanks a lot for replying to my post. Kindly reaccess my profile for Fuqua.

First I'm not considering retaking the exam. I will go with this score. So kindly mention some other schools to which I can apply with this score.

I will elaborate a little more about my profile. I have been working as a Senior Manager since the inception of the startup. It's related with with Sports Event Management; kind of what NCAA does in US. I have filled in multiple responsibilities such as content preparation for marketing, social media marketing, team building and handling interns as well as assigning responsibilities, building new connects and maintaining relations with present associates. I have been working with Indian Olympians and other Non Profits which are working in the Sports Field.

Other than this, I have been a part of two Theatre groups which I co-founded back in college and which are still active. One is a street theatre group which is kind of my baby. We are a 100 strong group now and have been doing street theatre in many areas to address social problems. The other theatre group is currently active in stage plays. I have been filling in multiple responsibilities here too.

And one thing that I wish to mention is (and which I think is a plus point, so kindly correct me if I'm wrong) that I left my job at an Oil and Gas Industry to pursue my career here in this Sports Non-Profit. And that is what I wish to continue in the future, hence Social Entrepreneurship. I have not drawn any salary from this program till now. To sustain financially I have been working here and there (which I can mention in my profile).

Hope this helps! Thanks a lot for taking out time.


Thanks for the additional info and no need to apologize! How long were you working in Oil and Gas? Actually that makes your profile less attractive because your path is now not as clear.

Your experience sounds really interesting and could lead to nice essays, but I am still not very confident because of the stats. You could certainly apply, but I would recommend adding in some other schools too as a backup in case Fuqua does not work out.

Good luck and reach out if you want help putting your best story in front of adcom!

I worked in Oil & Gas Sector for 8 months. During all this time I was working on the startup too.

Which other Schools can I consider?

And I will definitely reach out for the essay writing. Thank you for informing.

Thanks for sharing your profile. You will have a tough time gaining admission at Fuqua with below average GPA/GMAT. Consider a school like Emory as a potential alternative
