Thanks for sharing.

It would help to distinguish yourself favorably in some of the key metrics by scoring. For instance, while your GMAT is within range, it is below the average of your target programs. Consider retaking it, scoring higher than the average would help address concerns on your GPA and overall academic capability.

Highlight fast career progress, scale of responsibilities, leadership experiences, and international exposure. Showing unique accomplishments and experiences will also help you stand out from the rest of the pool of accomplished applicants.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks for sharing.

Your stats are around within the usual range of your target programs.

It will be important to distinguish yourself by powerfully presenting personal qualities such as leadership, innovation, and other essential traits that would help you succeed in achieving your post-MBA goal. Substantiating these through your achievements or anecdotes from work or from your extracurricular activities can greatly help. Identifying the fit with the target program will also show that your choice to the school is well thought out and that you will be able to contribute to the school community.

Wish you all the best!

Thank you for providing your profile details. While you may have had good work experience over the years, your GPA and GMAT combination will unfortunately make it challenging to get into most of those programs. There are certainly other elements of your profile that can help to get you over the edge but I recommend targeting programs around the range of Emory at the highest end. Oxford is an option but you would need to bump the GMAT quite a bit.

Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further. I won't sugarcoat your situation, but we can certainly do a lot to improve your profile.

Thanks for your profile details. The biggest thing missing is your current job! I would love to help you out but I have to know more details about your experience before giving any actionable advice.

Feel free to post more details here or email your resume and we can discuss further scott@personalmbacoach.com

Scott
