Hi
dictaipsa Based on what you’ve shared, you have a strong and relevant profile for LBS MiM/MAM.
Academics: Top 5 in batch from a Tier-2 engineering college is a solid academic signal.
Work Experience: 1.5 years in data engineering at MBB is a major brand plus and fits very well with LBS’s profile.
GRE: Q165 / V156 is within the competitive range for LBS. Quant is strong; verbal is acceptable and unlikely to be a dealbreaker given your academic and professional background.
Verdict on GRE:
You can apply confidently with this score. A retake is optional, not necessary — it would only marginally improve your odds unless you expect a significant jump in Verbal.
For a more accurate assessment of your chances (and R2 competitiveness), it would help if you could share:
Undergraduate GPA and discipline
Nature of your role and impact at MBB
Extracurriculars / leadership
Career goals post-MAM
That’ll allow a more precise evaluation of fit and conversion probability.
