Actively managing youtube platforms and conducting more than 50+ podcasts end to end managing visibility and awareness for top doctors
675-695 in competitive, but if you are a DR there is a bit more leeway. Only looking in India? what is your post-mba goal?

Please let me know if I should provide some additional info.

Hi Aringo,
Hope you’re doing well!

Requesting a profile Evaluation!!

I’m a 28-year-old Indian female with an MBA from an Indian university (not among the top ones). I have around six years of total work experience, spread across diverse roles and industries:

Founder’s Office (2 years): Worked as a Business Analyst to the CEO, focusing on strategic initiatives and growth.

MNC (3 years): Transitioned into a Data Scientist role, working on analytics and data-driven decision-making.

Product Manager (2 years): My most recent position, where I led product development and managed a team of two.

Education & Achievements:

BBA GPA: 7.6/10

MBA GPA: 7.0/10

Startup Founder: Raised ₹12 lakh incubation funding from ISB India for my venture.

Pro Bono Work: Assisted an NPO in developing their product.

Global Exposure: Attended international seminars and conferences through my company.

Leadership: Managed teams of 2–3 members in multiple roles.

Extracurriculars: Former badminton and table tennis player at school level, and an active debater.

Recognition: Received two promotions across different organizations.

Would love your advice on what should be my target GMAT score and whether I stand a realistic chance at schools like Columbia, Kellogg, LBS, or INSEAD.

Thanks so much!
Wow! Exciting background and experience! 2nd MBA is a possibility at all these programs - just need to share why you need 2nd MBA now. 675+ GMAT would be in range, 695+ better for schools on your list. Good profile for these programs. Tailor your ST Goals to match what the schools are offering specifically that will get you to that role/industry.

Hi Aringo

I’d love your feedback on my MBA profile for European schools like IESE, IE, HEC Paris, INSEAD, and ESADE.
Here’s a brief overview:

Background: B.E. in Electronics Engineering

Work Experience: ~5 years at Accenture (SAP S/4HANA Implementation for a leading Italian fashion brand; client-facing and cross-functional role)

Achievements: Two company awards for client value and performance and promotions

Certifications: Digital Marketing & Brand Management (IIM Bangalore)

Extracurriculars: Classical Kathak dancer (4 distinctions); launched an Etsy art store (250+ sales)

Goal: Move from SAP consulting to marketing/consulting

Could you please share your thoughts on how this profile aligns with top European MBA programs and what areas I should strengthen before applying?

Best,
Falguni

Wow - great profile with Accenture but diversity of Fashion Brand client! This is great for transition to marketing/consulting. Leverage this experience and what you have learned... and how this has inspired your orientation to marketing (this may be a bit safer than consulting); share your international exposure - any trips? or atleast the cross cultural differences.

Thanks for joining today - if you would like to follow up, email me at JeniferT@ARINGO.com or set up a profile eval here - https://calendly.com/jenifert-aringo/gm ... ume-review
