What Are My Chances - Profile Evaluation Tool! WAMC

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to know which category of representation does an Indian female from IT consulting belong to.

Also, I will be applying in round 2 but I don't have more than one year of full time work experience so which top colleges would I have the most chance of getting into? Would be grateful if anyone could provide me a bit of advice.

My Background:

I have given my first attempt of GMAT on 26th September,2021 and have scored 730 (Q49,V40, IR 8,AWA 5.5).
I have completed my B.Tech Electronics from VJTI,Mumbai in May,2021 with an 8.48 CGPA and am working now in an IT consultancy giant.


Thank you in advance!

Well it seems like I don't have a shot in INSEAD even if I manage to get a 760+ in GMAT...

1. Background: Indian male. Studied chemical engineering in college and worked for 6 months as a chemical engineer in a manufacturing plant. Then I quit and started working in an MNC in Human Resources (my actual job is a bit complicated and hard to explain but it's not the kind where quick promotions and projects are possible), working primarily with Japan, but in India (self-studying Japanese for close to 5 and a half years) but also with the US, Europe and other Asian countries. I guess this, or online interactions don't count as international exposure.

2. My college performance was not very good and its chemical engineering programme is relatively new. I don't know of any alumni who studied in B-schools outside of India.

3. I occasionally engage in creative writing, but never any essays. Never really found the opportunity to write essays.

I figured I could create an opportunity despite all this with a good GMAT score and initiative to be better, but perhaps it's too late.

Hi guys! First of all, congrats on such an amazing tool, really helpful

I have a question regarding the "undergraduate prestigue in your country".
I studied in an under represented country (Peru), and as you can imagine we dont have any university that feeds Top BS with a lot of students. Does it means i have to put "low-almost no students in top BS"? My university is a top3 in Peru (top1 for my career) but if my reasoning above is correct, it doesnt matter in which university i studied because none of them feeds in medium or high level to top BS.

I know this is not the perfect tool for assessment but i have the doubt in that question, thx!

I would put the lowest option since your school does not feed into top b-schools.

Hi GC folks

I'm quite worried about my career and future plans. While I've always been pretty good at acads, my work ex so far doesn't do justice to my career plans.
As a matter of fact, despite targeting a 750, the tool shows a "Very Low Probability" of me getting into a top B-school, owing primarily to my work ex, I believe?

Can someone guide me as to how should I go about? Should I drop my dream of doing MBA from a top B-school and aiming for a decent career?
Any help appreciated.

PS - Shoutout to GC - this is a great tool, very helpful!!!

Hey ! Can you guys add HEC Paris, ESADE, SDA Bocconi, IMD Switzerland & Judge Cambridge to the list ?

Any open chances in the 2022 calender?
Would like to see any of them or be directed where they make posts.

Well quoted. Helpful info he shared

Hey Hemant611,

I can see you have a very great profile with 7+ years of work experience and having so much social work in your profile. As you have scored 700 in your GMAT which is not at all a bad score. It’s a pretty good score. Even you have a so much of extracurricular that adds can so much more weightage in your application abroad.

In LBS they will look at all elements of your score and although a good score is preferable and GMAT is just one of several admissions criteria.
Just as a high score does not guarantee admission, a below average score does not always eliminate a candidate. You should however note that the minimum score we will accept is usually around 600. That means you can for sure apply to LBS with 700 GMAT also as you are trying to rewrite the test try to get score30-40 more. Also you have a pretty decent GRE of 70% and it is not a red flag at all.

All LBS Requirements are:
Fulfilling the application criteria of having an undergraduate degree and a minimum of 2 years work experience.
Application essays.
One-page CV.
Names and details of two referees.
GMAT score.
Proof of English language ability.
Application fee.
Copy of transcripts.

Same as in Oxford, candidates apply with a GMAT score of 650 or above, though they accept all scores. The median GMAT for the 2021-22 class is 690. A high score does not guarantee a place, nor does a low score disqualify you.

All Oxford Requirements are:
Undergrad Degree
GMAT/GRE
Application Essays
Online Assessment
Names and details of two referees
Proof of English language ability.
Application fee.

The average INSEAD GMAT score is 706; the range is typically around 600 to 800 which means you can easily apply to INSEAD too.
Other Requirements are:
Undergrad Degree
GMAT
Two LOR
Application Essays
Recorded video interview
Names and details of two referees
Proof of English language ability.
Application fee.
Official transcripts

Hello stormfather98,
First of all, let me tell you there is no such thing as being too late.
Even if you missed out the deadline you can always apply in the forthcoming deadlines.
And with September 2022 intake approaching this is the perfect time for you to start your preparation.
Now, let's analyze your profile.
As you mentioned you have a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, you must mention what made you change your career path from engineering to management.
Admission committee looks for diversity and If written correctly it can be a compelling argument that makes you stand out from the crowd that can get you your dream admit.
Having business-related experience helps but be sure to back your experience with examples of workplace achievements and learnings.
You haven’t mentioned much about your GPA or extracurriculars.
Please mention them so I can evaluate your profile better.
Having a 750 GMAT does not guarantee your admission if you don’t meet other eligibility criteria.
However, you will be happy to know that many universities have waived off the GMAT for the final rounds, and, most UK Schools do not need a mandatory GMAT score.
You have as much of a shot as any other applicant. Do your research and make sure you fulfill each and every admission criteria.

Hi, I was checking my chances and seem to be happy to see some good schools in my above average and average chances. However, I wish more European schools could be included in the list- schools such as HEC, IE and SDA since these are some of the top ranked schools according to some credible websites. I am actually hoping to get into a European program and am a Non-IT Indian female candidate.

Hey Amogh, your profile is pretty amazing.

I would like to mention one more thing here, you scored 760 in your GMAT which is pretty impressive.
You have very decent work experience. One thing is pretty impressive that you have launched offline operations in not 1 or 2, 8 countries that’s a big number. But after reading much I learned that you managed more than 100 city-level events, really really impressive. Great work with your work experience.

As your concern is you need help to decide your short-term goal. So, I would really suggest you to have correct suggestions from the top experts. Book a call with our experts and let them help you decide your short-term goal.

Thanks for this interesting information!

Hi bruma,

Thank you for your post. Being a dentist sets you apart from the crowd to some extent. Dentists can do well, and Personal MBA Coach has worked with dentists before. The key here is to show leadership.

In terms of target schools, Duke Fuqua and Yale SOM have strong emphases on social impact if you are interested in US b-schools.

That said, you will want to work to maximize your GMAT score. Currently, a 600 will impact your chances of admission.

If you’re looking to hire a consultant, feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to discuss how we can help set you up for success!

Best,
Personal MBA Coach

This is a very helpful tool, thank you!

Time for an Update bb ? with covid a lot of adcom preferences changed. Not to mention top 25 universities have also seen some new additions! Would be great if these changes were reflected. Thanks for the tool though, tells us where to put effort!
