Hi Aringo team,

Please kindly review my profile
Indonesian, female, 10 yoe,
current role: running my own tech venture helping financial services in tier 2 cities in Indonesia (<1yoe)

Academic
- Accounting GPA 3.4 from Top National University in Indonesia
- GMAT (still preparing), but granted some gmat waiver from T15 school

Working experiences
1y as Management Trainee in Sales & Marketing in Multinational company
5y as cofounding team in Business Development role in pioneering FinTech startup in Indonesia, lead onboard 300+ enterprise clients, help company secures series A funding, grow 10x for the first 3y.
2y as Product Management role in FinTech company, led 10 people with
2y entrepreneurship: running financial agency (1y) then tech venture for financial services

Community experiences
1y as education advocacy in remote areas in Indonesia

Aim for MBA in the US
Post MBA goal: entrepreneurship; also exploring switch to consulting strategy for financial services

My R1 status: invited for interview in T15 campus

My question
- is my profile too stretch for T10 or M7 campus in US? What can I strengthen if I intend to apply for R2 and I got a good GMAT score in average with the school class profile?
The biggest thing you want to do is show employability - not sure your post-grad goals, but schools are wanting to see they can help you get a job - so ensure you are pitching roles/companies that sponsor/hire international students and also share a range of companies or back up plan. Are you planning to return to your venture? that is a 100% risk free plan for them.

hbs, stanford, mit sloan, Oxford , lbs,hec, insead, wharton, kellog. !these are my top picks ! rest ill drop! I heard people with military/force experience joined in 40+ YEARS TOO in these colleges
These all would be exceptions to the rule - you’ll have to wow them with passion, drive and focused goals that make sense when combined with their specific MBA program

for these schools avg is 655, will need 655+ to be competitive with higher number of Indian candidates this year (avoiding US schools)

Makes sense. Thank you! And would 705 GMAT be good enough for M7? Or is it below par for my profile?
