Mar 27 | Chat session with ARINGO | Top-Ranked MBA program in 2023 |

This is helpful, thanks Shimri!

with 11y of experience, in Europe, you are on the high end but still ok for all programs (12y is usually where they draw the red line)
On the other hand, in the US, 11Y is starting to be too much. I need to know more about you, but generally, I suggest looking at the 1Y programs. you can read more about this here: https://www.aringo.com/mba-over-30/
GOOD LUCK!

Here is a question I received in subscription form....... I have 7 years work ex and 32 years of age. I have a 760 GMAT score with strong international work ex and above average GPA reported by M7 schools. Am I a strong candidate for M7 this upcoming application season?

Hi, I have a GMAT score of 680 (Q50, V31)

Hi,
If your GMAT is higher than average, your work experience is higher than average then you are a good candidate for any school
Naturally, I don’t know anything about you, like who are you, gender, origin, what you do, did you have any promotions, what are your hobbies, do you have any managerial experience, do you have international experience and 10 other questions

For a detailed profile review, please send me your CV, GMAT score, school wish list and any other info to Shimriw@ARINGO.com

great start! do you have a question about admissions?

Here is another question ............ Should I add any experience of something I haven’t done really, in my resume? just to make my case strong (suppose i can defend that experience during interview?)

not 100% sure I understand you. should you lie on your resume? no you should not

Shimri, here’s another question!
Say in US top 15-25 schools, when you hear the word "scholarships" what school/s came to your mind?! 😅 (as mentioned above - indian it male, 3.5 years WE, gre 330)

Hi, I have a GMAT score of 680 (Q50, V31). Indian male.
B. Tech in Mechanical engineering 9.11 CGPA
M. Tech in Automotive engineering 9.36 CGPA
Participated in 2 national level competitions in B. Tech (National Go Kart Championship and Formula Student India)
Work experience:
3.5 years in Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India. Worked on automatic transmission of conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles. Developed a script in python to reduce manual time by 85%. Currently in Germany (for 6 months) to work on the latest project. Interacting with teams from different companies in different regions (India, Germany, Luxembourg)
Which B schools do you think I should aim for and how can I improve my overall profile?

GREAT Axelkr00. We actually have a MiF team at ARINGO that can help you... I suggest you take the GMAT, and then send me your CV, GMAT score, school wish list etc. and I can help you with a chances estimation and answer any questions you may have. I am always on shimriw@ARINGO.com

I’m M21 European, 3.5 GPA, graduating this fall and applying R1 to T10 Mfins in Europe. Provided that I score a 750+ on the GMAT, do you think I have a good chance of getting into Oxbridge or LSE. I also have 2years of WE ina large financial services provider.

as I said before, ALL schools have scholarships. if you want to make it black or white, your scholarship chances are higher the lower the ranking of the school is (cause you will be more attractive there)
So, in Emory, your chances are higher than in Wharton. Although, Wharton, probably give out more scholarship money than Emory in total, as their class is bigger.

Hope this makes sense...
56% of our clients got scholarships last year, in ALL schools... really

Hi Aringo, I am currently working as senior manager for big 4 consulting in usa.My current age is 35+.
I would like to move to senior executive role in
big tech or same kind of role in good startup in
another country in next 4-5 years, would getting
an mba from gsb msx, sloan fellows or wharton emba
help me to reach this goal?

I don’t need any scholarships I just want to get in one of those schools.

Got it, thanks Shimri!

SouriBhose hi,
1. The one way you can improve your overall profile, is to score a higher GMAT score, as you come from a very competitive pool of candidates...
2. your profile is good, but the GMAT might not be enough for the top US or EU schools (for example we did have an Indian male engineer with 670 who got offers from HEC, ESADE, IMD in Europe and a 680 Indian male engineer who just got into to Cornell and Georgetown. this year!!! but these kind of schools would probably be on your stretch side of the schools)

so, take the GMAT again (and again) you have time! and then feel free to send me your GMAT, CV, school wish list and other info to shimriw@aringo.com for a deeper profile analysis...
GOOD LUCK!

yes yes and yes. if you score 700+ you should make it!
As I said earlier, once you have a GMAT send me your score and profile details and I will try to help further
I am on shimriw@ARINGO.com
GOOD LUCK!

ARINGO, It take a time to write up a long answer, but thanks to Shimri’s writing speed.
