Hi I'm looking for a profile evaluation for the full-time 2 year MBA at Booth starting next year (2022)
Below are details of my profile
DemographicIndian | Male | Age 25
GMAT 710 (Q49 V39 | IR 6 | AWA 6)
Although 710 is a strong GMAT score, Booth's current median GMAT score is 730. If you haven't already taken it a number of times, I suggest you take it again and aim to get above the median. I realize that's easier said than done, so if you're not able to achieve the 730+ then you should consider other ways to demonstrate your academic ability.AcademicsUnder-Graduation: 75.74% (First Division) | Bachelors in Commerce (Honours), Delhi University
12th Grade: 96.75% | Commerce Stream
10th Grade: 9.6 CGPA
Post MBA GoalsShort Term: Marketing & Communication Impact Consulting
Long Term: Set-up my own design and communication consulting organisation
these seem to make sense at first view, however I encourage you to go into more depth, connecting your goals with your passions and/or key challenges you want to solve. Also, it's important to consider why Booth is necessary to help you achieve your goals. One question to ask is, 'can you do achieve these goals without Booth - why not?' Clarity, specificity and logic will help your application.Target RecruitersIDEO, Dalberg, Bridgespan Group, Ogilvy, Dentsu, Unilever, Frog Design (other similar recruiters, open to your recommendations as well)
Work Experience Having a lot of leaps in a career is not necessarily a bad thing, but I encourage you to think about logically piecing these experiences together. For reference, many people have maintained a role at the same company, receiving multiple promotions over the same period of time. Moreover, AdComs get lots of applications from companies they know well, so they're familiar with the type of work experience from many applicants. Without a consistent recognized employer you'll have to demonstrate the caliber of companies you've worked for in addition to the skills you've developed.
Why should the AdCom select you over them? A strong resume will help you here - don't underestimate the amount of work in putting your resume together. Two blogs I recommend reviewing to help with this: How to Create the Best Possible Resume for Your MBA Application and Quantify Your Resume: Seven Techniques to Add MetricsFunction: Marketing
