Hi
thorats96 Impressive profile overall, albeit with a low GPA, but your quant score does make a strong case for your academic potential. I am optimistic about that.
I too come from the manufacturing domain in automotive auxiliary, and therefore, I feel I am in a good position to provide meaningful suggestions. The good news is that you do not belong to the typical overrepresented segment at the top B Schools, but you must select your stories very carefully to demonstrate progression in your long career and your transition from an engineer/individual contributor to a project leader during the course of 10 years. Showcase your strong leadership skills through stories where you helped resolve conflicts, expedited projects, were trusted with bigger responsibilities over and over again, motivated team members or staff on the shop floor to get the prototypes going on time, influenced senior management with your insights to take a certain stand on decisions, and saved money for the company.
I can already see great potential for going deeper into the themes of supplier quality management and scrap reduction (which is the current trending theme regarding driving sustainability).
I like your post-MBA goals. MBA essays are all about passion; they are about how ready you are to change some problem in the world or to seize an opportunity that will change the world. To answer this question well, your passion has to reflect through your goals narrative.
Personalized advice tailored to your specific situation is just a phone call or message away. Do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need help navigating your unique circumstances in the B School admissions process.Aanchal Sahni (INSEAD alum, ex INSEAD MBA admissions interviewer)
