Hi
Rishabhbarmecha,
Before I start with your profile evaluation, I must say that your profile is well-groomed and has a potential for being accepted in the top-tier B-schools. To begin with, your CGPA of 8.65 is an excellent indicator of your academic stature and capabilities which is further complemented by your undergraduate brand name - VIT, one among the tier 1 colleges in India. To build on this reputation, since you are applying for an MBA and a MSBA program, it is important that you score at least a 700 in your GMAT exam with an equally good score in your quantitative section to prove your capability of succeeding in the quant heavy field of analytics.
Coming to your work experience, you have more than 4.5 years of experience, which is completely satisfactory especially for an MBA program which prefers long-running professionals. Besides, you have a very diverse and impressive set of professional work under your belt especially in the trading, finance and management domain. The relevancy of your professional experience with the programs you are applying for will definitely act in your favour. Moreover, you possess international work experience, which is the icing on your cake since top B-schools do pay extra emphasis and attention to international exposure as it highlights your adaptability and broadened perspectives.
Talking about your extracurricular activities, you haven't mentioned any details regarding the same which honestly is again a very crucial part of your profile and application. Your extracurricular activities is basically what defines you as a holistically developed individual which is very much valued by the B-schools. Hereby, you can mention any CSR activities you were part of to highlight your social and empathetic traits along with a few certification courses in the niche you want to build your career in to highlight your constant thirst for knowledge and upward mobility in upskilling yourself. This way you will be able to present yourself as someone who has all the capabilities of a future leader.
Speaking of the schools that you can target, I suggest that you hedge your bets wisely by targeting a good mix of 6-8 schools. For admission to an MBA program you can consider schools such as:
HEC Paris, INSEAD, UC Berkeley, Rotman, LBS and USC Marshall in the dream category (where your chances of acceptance is 50%)
ESSEC, ESCP, FSFM, IE, WHU and NUS in the competitive category (where your chances of acceptance is 70%).
For admission to MSBA program, you can consider schools such as:
USC Marshall, NYU Stern, LBS and HEC Paris in the dream category.
ESCP, ESSEC, IE, Warwick and Fordham in the competitive category.
Taking this into consideration, you can boost your chances of acceptance by focusing on your application which can act as a game changer when it comes to getting admitted into a top B-school. Your application is basically what differentiates you by highlighting your strengths and overshadowing your weaknesses. Additionally, it also carries a 30% impact on your admission prospects which is why I would urge you to pay more attention to the same.
