Hello ItsPA1,

It is true that you have a strong overall profile; however, the GMAT has its own weightage.

Hi,

This is a strong profile with a unique blend of academic, professional, and entrepreneurial experiences. While the GMAT score might be a concern for some of the most selective programs, your other strengths can compensate.

Strengths:
Excellent Academic Record: First-class honors from a top 150 Indian university with a strong GPA and a focus on quantitative subjects is a significant achievement.
Strong Technical Skills: Your technical background in Computer Science, combined with courses like Machine Learning for Trading and Data Science for Investment Professionals, is highly valuable for finance and consulting.
Entrepreneurial Drive: Your involvement in Y Combinator's Summer Startup School, project work with Lufthansa, and recognition by F6S demonstrate your entrepreneurial spirit and innovative thinking.
International Exposure: Your exchange program at Northeastern University and international work experience in shipping & logistics showcase your global perspective and adaptability.
Leadership & Teamwork: Your experience as a team lead and collaborations with international stakeholders highlight your leadership and teamwork skills.

Areas for Improvement:
GMAT Score: A higher GMAT score, ideally above 700, would significantly enhance your competitiveness for top-tier programs like LBS.
Limited Work Experience in Finance: While your internships provide valuable experience, a more substantial experience in a core finance role (e.g., investment banking, management consulting) could further strengthen your profile.

Recommendations:

Consider Alternative Programs: While LBS MiM might be challenging with the current GMAT score, explore other top-tier programs with a strong focus on finance and technology, such as:
You can also target other European Schools offering better and more innovative programs. Happy to discuss those post understanding your goals.

The LBS Master of Analytics & Management (MAM) could be a good fit, however, we can ascertain that after having a detailed profile discussion with you. Feel free to schedule a free call with our expert counselors who can guide your accordingly. You can also connect with our team directly via call at +91 9769092456.
