Hello Experts,
Could you please evaluate my profile, I'am planning to apply for 2019 intake
My profile-
Nationality: Indian (24 yrs)
Current Job: Head of city growth for both supply and demand in a mobility startup (transportation)
Work Ex: 6 months (Business development in a pre-early stage startup); 2.5 yrs in a mobility startup (promoted from entry level to head of city growth)
Motivation for MBA: My long term aim is to become an entrepreneur. So I would like to move into a more strategy related role.
Education: Mechanical Engineering in VIT University (ABET accredited - GPA 8.4/10)
GMAT: 760 (Q50, V41, IR 7, AWA 4.5)
Target schools: INSEAD, IMD, ESADE, Sloan, IESE, Kellogg
Extra curricular -
Sports: Avid badminton player and represented school team.
Volunteering: Was part of one of the relief teams during massive floods in my city in 2016.
Few Queries:
1. Will the work ex be a problem when applying to INSEAD?
2. Will startup experience be a differentiating factor in the competitive pool of Indian applicants.
3. Is one year European MBA better or the 2 yr MBA programs in US?
4. Will there be a scope for scholarship in anyone of the above schools?
I welcome any other suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hi arun93,
Thank you for your post, and for sharing your profile. Congrats on a 760 GMAT score! A few follow-up questions: Which sector are you aiming your post-MBA entrepreneurial ventures? Are you currently involved in any community engagement work?
1. Will the work ex be a problem when applying to INSEAD? About 35% of applicants have 3-5 years professional experience upon matriculation at INSEAD, so it should not be an issue.
2. Will startup experience be a differentiating factor in the competitive pool of Indian applicants. Startup experience will be a differentiative factor; however, the MBA applications focus a lot on the qualitative (the narrative) aspect as well as the quant. Therefore, scores and start-up experience are excellent but alone they do not guarantee admission. You must tell your story.
3. Is one year European MBA better or the 2 yr MBA programs in US? It depends on your timeline, and where you want to work post MBA. If you hope to work in the U.S., then a U.S. degree makes more sense, and vice versa.
4. Will there be a scope for scholarship in anyone of the above schools? These schools have scholarship opportunities, usually divided between need-based and non-need based. Each school has its own scholarships opportunities available on their website. Some have their own deadlines, so be sure to keep track of those dates. You need to aim your application submission based on those dates to be considered.
If you would like to continue the conversation, please feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation (contact details in signature).
Good luck!

Hi SiaAdmissions
Thanks for reviewing my profile.
To answer your questions,
1. I'am planning for my entrepreneurial venture in retail global e-commerce.
2. I've been involved in organising Community volunteering activities with my company. But, individually, since I'am working in a startup, I don't get the time to volunteer. Will this be acceptable with the admissions committee ?
I would like to target schools which has good networking opportunities and relatively well known for strategy related courses. Will Kellogg, Sloan, Wharton be worth a shot?
Thanks in advance !!
