Hi mbaMission! My name is Cheran.
I’m planning to apply for the Fall 2024 applications and would like to hear your take on my profile. I’m also looking at which schools would be more suitable for me.
Here’s a brief about my profile-
Age--27
Gender--Female
Years of exp-- 4 years
Industry-- Education Tech & B2B Education (International)
Career progression --Jump in 1.5 year since starting as a fresher to Team Lead position, then in another 1 year to Managerial Level at a Start-Up, but now in Mid-level job due to personal reasons. Had startup experience for the 3 years of out 4. Worked in a lot of cross-functional roles ranging from product, marketing, operations, HR & Recruitment, etc. and helped set up some operational procedures for few.
Undergrad – graduated in 2017 with 60% in Microbiology Honors
PostGrad – Graduated in 2019 with 3.34 GPA/ 4.0 Scale in Biotechnology (Did an internship at a Local Research Lab and completed my masters Dissertation)
Extracurriculars & Initiatives:
• Volunteer with a local NGO as their student career & education counsellor
• Started a Small Business but it’s on hiatus
• Used to write Blog, which I plan to pick up again
Awards:
• Best Employee of the month in 2 of the start-ups I worked in.
• Have few Organizing committee work in college-level
Test Scores:
• IELTS – 8
• GMAT – Pending (planning to write in 2 months)
Post MBA Plans:
• Consulting since I do want to change field, or Education based Entrepreneurship if that would be a safer bet.
Also, to ask here, - I represent as a member of a matrilineal and matrilocal community in India – one of the only few communities in the world and I thought of using this as a diversity factor in applications. Would this come under the underrepresented category?
Unsure how it may pan out.
I do plan to look at top 50 Universities but not sure where I stand right now.

Hi cheran, this is Kate from mbaMission. Thanks for sharing your profile with us.
First, in terms of your academic background, your GPAs seem to be on the lower side, though it does sound like you challenged yourself. With that in mind, a strong GMAT score is important. For top schools, aim for above 730.
Next we look at your professional background. The focus on EdTech is interesting as it's not the most common pre-MBA field and it sounds like you progressed quickly and have gotten a lot of functional exposure. In terms of post-MBA goals, consulting may be more realistic if it does truly interest you, and then entrepreneurship could be more realistic as a long-term goal.
Lastly we evaluate your extracurriculars and personal factors. Here it seems like you have some good things but they are not as fresh as we'd like, so definitely recommend restarting the blog or accelerating your community leadership in some other way. The cultural aspect is interesting and you could definitely bring that into your essays and show how it has impacted you and your values today. It should help differentiate you from other applicants from India, though remember that it's still an overrepresented group overall.
Overall it seems like you have many promising components of your profile. Obviously top 50 is a lot of schools, so once you know your GMAT score you can narrow from there. Good luck!

Hi Kate,
Lovely to hear back from you on my profile.
My academics definite have been on the lower side. despite good scores in high school, my undergraduate CGPA brought my academics down quite a bit. I was in University of Calcutta for that time and later did my masters in Christ University,, Bangalore. Not top tier for sure, but I'm hoping that I can reflect on the hard work I've put in improving my academic somewhere in the application.
I also forgot to add that I've also been working as a Freelance Content Writer apart from my 9-5 job and I'm wondering- would ideally be added as an extracurricular or as a professional work?
I'll definitely be looking more at bringing better clarity on my post MBA Goals since I've honestly not checked on what type of consulting I can go for. Really appreciate your inputs at this point of time!
