Hi there,
We specialize mostly in MBA programs so my knowledge of how you stack up compared to other MIM applicants is not as strong. But you do seem to have a pretty well-rounded profile, with strong internships, and extracurricular activities. Your GRE is strong too, and converts to about a 730 GMAT which is competitive for the schools on your list. Your GPA is the area of most concern though, so that could be too much of a challenge at the most competitive schools on your list like Duke. To further boost the academic side of your profile, you could retake GRE, or retake some of the courses you did not do well in.
Best of luck!
Kate

Hi mbaMissionKate,
I am a Chartered Accountant from India. Prior to that I completed my Undergrad from Leeds, UK in BA (Hons) Business and Management (Lower second class = ~3.15 GPA). I have also completed by ACMA , CGMA professional qualification (obtained all india 2nd rank in the final exams)
I have six years work experience as on date. Below is my work exp breakup (with most recent first)
1. Senior consultant at Ernst and Young (Oct 17 to Jul 18) = 10 months
2. Consultant at Ernst and Young (Aug 15 to Sept 17) = 2yrs 2 months
3. Associate consultant at a small management consultant company (Dec 13 to Apr 15) = 1 yr and 5 months
4. Audit assistant at a small auditing firm (Apr 12 to Nov 13) = 1 year 8 months
I also have some volunteering exp as a teaching assistant at a primary school...
Apart from this, I have good exposure in terms of handling the top management of huge multinational clients during my stint at EY. I can demonstrate good communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. I should be able to get a strong recommendation letters from my Partner and Senior manager at EY.
Last but not the least, I am yet to take my GMAT but preparing with a target score of 750 (for the purposes of this evaluation lets assume i score 720+)
Career goals: In the short run I want to break into a strategy formulation role and few years down the line head a business unit/ vertical
And not to forget, I am 28yrs of age and a woman.
Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions.
I am looking to target mainly Wharton, Kellogg and Columbia (with few other schools as safe options). Also, would you suggest any other schools?
