Thank you for reaching out!

What and where do you want to study? Do you have a preliminary list? Do you have geographic preferences?

Overall you have a great profile with some brand names and an entrepreneurial experience. It also sounds like you have some extracurricular activities to back up your leadership.

The issue is going to be your 710. It's a fine score but for your competitive demographic but isn't stellar so the top-top schools might be slightly out of reach.

Write back when you can so we can be of help.

Hey!

Thanks for replying.

I was looking to apply to LBS MBA programme and wanted to apply to 2-3 schools in US for MBA (I was thinking of Kellogg, MIT and Cornell). I am not willing to take the GMAT again due to shortage of time at hand (since my first priority is my work and then MBA).
Can you please guide based on my GMAT score and profile as to which top school should I apply to in US where I have chances of getting selected? And how well does Cornell, MIT and Kellogg fare against other schools in terms of reputation and placements?
Also please let me know if you provide essay and resume crafting and editing services.

Regards,
Megha

Responding to your specific questions:

Q: Can you please guide based on my GMAT score and profile as to which top school should I apply to in US where I have chances of getting selected?

A: MIT will be very challenging. Kellogg will be challenging but possibly less so than MIT. Cornell is definitely going to be in your wheelhouse. I would look at the US News ranking and pick schools that generally fall within those difficulties I assigned to give you a sense for your relatively chances.

Q: And how well does Cornell, MIT and Kellogg fare against other schools in terms of reputation and placements?

A: MIT and Kellogg are generally on par with one another. Cornell, while still a great program, does not have nearly the same reputation on the MBA side as those other two programs.

Q: Also please let me know if you provide essay and resume crafting and editing services.

A: Absolutely. I strongly urge you to sign up for a free consultation. We can pair you with one of our consultants who knows these programs well and can walk you through our resume crafting and essay editing services.

There's nothing in your profile that suggests you cannot qualify. There are very few actually requisites to gain admission to a top MBA program. Taking the GMAT/GRE and having an accredited bachelor degree are really the only major ones. Work experience is technically not needed though for all intents and purposes having a few years is virtually a requirement.

An exception to that is if you are coming from a field such as medicine. There are many MDs who pursue their MBA. It's not nearly as common as other fields of study, but it's prevalent enough.

The most important thing you can do now is ace the GRE. A good score will be critical if you are going to gain admission to a top program. You can also focus on extracurricular activities if you have not already done so.

Please reach back out to us when you are ready to apply or if you are actively applying and simultaneously prepping for the GRE. Good luck on the exam!
