AdithyaNanjaraj - interesting profile. Some thoughts and clarifications:

1. Your GPA and CFA (level-1) are good. Would suggest aiming for 10-20 points above the GMAT average of your target programs, being part of the competitive Indian Male pool. Given the option, I would prioritize getting a strong score over CFA Level-2 (which can also be done post GMAT). FYI, latest Classic version averages across top B-schools are here.

2. The Goldman tag and promotions are strong angles. Would like to understand your work-ex deeper, and if you've worked with international teams (schools like INSEAD value this), etc. The switch to PE is a strong angle which can help the narrative, especially if linked to your goals.

3. What are your career goals (target sector/ function) post-MBA? It'd be difficult to prioritize programs without some directional clarity here.

4. Assuming you're referring to Goldman Sachs CTW extracurriculars: I used to work with GS, and have mentored candidates from there - the CTW projects can offer good talking points for essays. Remember to prioritize consistency and quality of involvement over breadth, and have a balanced mix of personal and professional angles.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.

Arvind

Hi Adithya,

You have a good profile. Based on what you say about yourself, I would expect you to score in excess of 695.  Hopefully a lot more, but let's just say this should work out for sure.

Insead has always looked for folks with international experience. This is the only thing missing from your otherwise excellent profile.  I would consider INSEAD to be a stretch for that one reason.  Wouldn't discourage an application though, as long as you ensure to keep a few safes as well.

LBS could be a stretch.  NYU could be worth applying if you score a bit higher than my prediction - say 725+.

Said and HEC should be good apps with a 695.

And hopefully, you don't have to consider EDHEC, though it is a good school.

Feel free to reach out for a discussion: https://bit.ly/GM_AugAcd_Profile_Evaluation

Best,

Hello AdithyaNanjaraj,

Thanks for writing in.

Most schools, especially INSEAD, will value your entrepreneurial experience; it is, therefore, imeperative that you build on the same.

Without a GMAT score and your career goals, it is difficult to comment on your chances; our advice would be that you focus on getting the 99th percentile on the GMAT; that you have achieved sharp career growth at Goldman Sachs will help you build a strong narrative and if you are able to combine it with a stellar GMAT as well as a well thought out application, we see you having a good chance with most schools on your shortlist.

Good luck!

Hi,

You have a good profile - we should be able to target colleges ranked in the top 20, if in the US.  How much further up we can go, depends on how strong your work achievements are, and what kind of personal stories you have.

In your essays and LORs, you should focus on "Show, don't tell" - meaning, you should be able to reference personal stories that demonstrate your admirable qualities (like hardworking, or solid leader) instead of simply saying that you are hardworking or a good leader.  There are more things you can do to make it impactful - but these are typically approaches that we take up during the iterative process of essay crafting and editing - which we can get into when we work with you (should you choose to work with us).

Things you can work on now: Improve your EC profile to the extent possible.  Try to get more leadership experience at work.  If at all relevant, see if you can push your GRE up further.  It matters till you hit 332/333.

@KZodiac ­- interesting profile with a good mix of acads and work-ex. Some thoughts/ clarifications on your queries:

1. What are your career goals i.e. target sector/ function post-MBA? It'd be crucial to have some directional clarity here, in order to prioritize schools. Broadly, navy/ military professionals utilize the MBA as a launching pad to transition into the following path(s):

(A) Operational leadership roles e.g. Amazon Pathways and the likes. This is a classic route for many army/ navy professionals, as it involves multiple transferable skills e.g. operational strategy & execution, stakeholder management, conflict resolution, etc. 

(B) Consulting roles at MBBs, big-4's, boutiques etc. Here, prior sectoral/ geographic/ functional experience e.g. know-how of logistics/ shipping sector, can help advise clients better. This path usually takes more time, energy and efforts than (A) and (C), though achievable.

(C) Functional/ General management roles, in F-500 companies or start-ups. Here again, functional experience counts. For example, an army officer with solid risk-management experience transitioned to lead the risk division for a FAANG company at their Asia headquarters.

Though there could be other viable paths depending on your profile and interests, the above 3 are the most common for navy/ army professionals.

2. In the essays and interviews, it'd be crucial to have a strong narrative highlighting your skill-sets and learnings, linking them to your career goals and how/ why an MBA fits in. Some guidelines for MBA resume are here, writing compelling essays are here, and LoR's are here. While these should (hopefully) give you a headstart, the process involves a lot of brainstorming/ introspection, research, structuring and finetuning.

3. While points 1 and 2 should be on top of mind, there is scope to strengthen your extra-curriculars: the ones you've indicated seem outdated. Would like to understand your involvement in these activities, to guide better.

I've had the pleasure of working with several navy/ army personnel on their B-school application journey. Feel free to reach out if you'd need support.

P.S: We're conducting a live online webinar on "How to Craft Your Winning MBA Application Strategy" on 10th May, 2024 (Friday) at 8pm IST, and we'll cover several of the above topics. If this interests you, details and registrations are here

Hi guptaparth1998,

You have a good academic and work profile.  The GMAT is good, but given that you would have a techie leaning to your profile, you may need a higher GMAT if you wish to target schools in the T20.

Currently, I would say a T20-30 should be doable, with a T15-20 being a stretch.

Feel free to reach out and we can have a more in-depth chat: https://bit.ly/GM_AugAcd_Profile_Evaluation

Work experience:-
2022-Present: Currently working as a product manager at FlyFin AI, a seed-funded startup, where I am overlooking the development of the startup's entire web platform, with an extensive focus on growth via SEO and growth conversion.
Key highlights:
- Brought a 30x increase in the SEO traffic valued at approx. $150K.

Advice needed:-
1. Colleges that I can shortlist (for the current score of 685)
2. What kind of extracurriculars can be picked to improve my profile?

I look forward to your response

@guptaparth1998 ­- some thoughts and clarifications:

1. Good acads and GMAT score. The Verbal split seems a bit low and can be a potential concern for some top programs like M7's and LBS. Average GMAT (Classic) scores of top B-schools are here, as a benchmark. Schools where your composite score (converted to Classic equivalent) is 10-20 (or more) points above average can be considered reach/ safe, provided the overall application and fit are demonstrated well.

2. Your work-ex is interesting, given the Oracle and start-up experiences. Would like to understand your professional arc better: were there promotions? why did you transition to the start-up? have you worked with teams abroad? etc. It'd also be crucial to have a strong narrative covering 'why consulting', which domains/ topics within consulting if any (e.g. digital strategy?), and your transferable skills. Top B-schools for consulting, along with latest hiring stats are here. Shortlisting schools may require further discussions.

3. The Extra-curriculars you've mentioned seem a bit outdated. It'd be ideal to showcase consistent involvement across select ECA's than stagerred involvement across many i.e. less (and deeper) is better than more. Try to pick up or resume activities that you've already had exposure to and/ or can demonstrate prior interest in, so it can be tied well to the overall application and essays. 

Let me know if this helps, and feel free to reach out if you'd like to have a deeper chat.

Arvind

­KZodiac hope this finds you well. You have a great profile overall. I have worked extensively with folks from the navy, military, and operations backgrounds and I myself have about 10 years of experience in this sector, so feel free to connect.

Please note that in the merchant navy, your skills are specifically enhanced in operations leadership, time management, and risk anticipation. These applicants are highly sought after by top B-schools (also by top consulting firms). These profiles remain unaffected by excessive character traits or the politics of the situation, which makes them highly sought after, especially in consulting fields that require significant personal sacrifice. Military and navy personnel are accustomed to making sacrifices during their service and have a remarkable level of commitment, which gives them a distinct advantage over other applicants.

The good news is that you are not part of the typical over-represented segment at top B-schools, but you will need to choose your stories very carefully to demonstrate progress in your long career and your transition from an engineer/individual to a project manager over the course of four years. Demonstrate your strong leadership skills through stories in which you helped resolve conflicts, accelerated projects, were trusted with bigger responsibilities repeatedly, motivated team members or shop floor staff to move projects forward in a timely manner, influenced management with your insights to take a particular point of view on decisions, and saved the company money or brought cost efficiencies.

Do thorough research on your post-MBA goals. MBA essays are about passion; they are about how ready you are to change a problem in the world or seize an opportunity that will change the world. To answer the goals question well, your passion has to reflect through your goals narrative.


Advice needed :-
1. Shortlisting colleges as per my profile (Considering GRE at home test scores)

Kenan Flagler, McCombs (best for operations or folks looking in the O&G sector), Ross(reach), IMD Switzerland, HEC Paris, IESE, INSEAD(reach)

I would also suggest a few operations leadership programs

2. What are the things to highlight for impactful essays and LORs

Mentioned above

3. What are the things that can be implemented from today to improve my profile
Focus on building a strong application. If you do not know how to present your case, then any additional improvements will add no value.

­guptaparth1998 A promising profile overall. 

Advice needed:-
1. Colleges that I can shortlist (for the current score of 685)There are two ways of making a career in the US 


  1. You cast a wide net and apply to many mid-tier schools to maximize the odds of receiving scholarships. With strong academic credentials (the IIT tag) and solid work experience, it will be relatively easy for you to beat the competition and secure good professional opportunities. Work towards building a life and a career in the USA progressively. This is a safer route.
  2. You focus solely on the IIT pedigree and aim to target top-tier MBAs. For this, you would need to further improve your GMAT score and be ready with your score and applications at the earliest. This will be challenging, and the odds of receiving scholarships will also decrease. The exits from these schools will depend on the market situation and how well you can compete with peers (who are also super achievers).
Decide what is best for you and feel free to ask for school suggestions over a call.


2. What kind of extracurriculars can be picked to improve my profile?
Something that cannot be easily compensated with money. I would not suggest designing websites/ product in your free time.

Hey, kitt098

You have several options for pursuing an MBA in the U.S. without a GMAT score, especially considering your work experience and academic background. Many schools offer GMAT waivers based on specific criteria, typically around your professional experience, academic achievements, or alternative standardized tests. It's a good idea to check each school’s website to see if you qualify for a waiver.


In the meantime, focus on building a strong application that highlights your skills and experience, demonstrating your potential beyond standardized tests. We'd love to learn more about your profile to recommend schools that offer GMAT waivers and are a good fit for you. If you’re interested, feel free to schedule a profile evaluation session at your convenience!

[color=#760780]kitt098[/color] - If you're looking at Top-30 MBA programs, my suggestion would be to avoid the 'GMAT/ GRE waiver' route, particularly given your work-ex is on the lower side and (atleast based on what you've shared) there aren't any key differentiating spikes in the profile.

Having said that, some schools do waive the GMAT/ GRE score requirement if certain threshold criteria are met. The schools' websites would have the details.

Dear [color=#2062b3]kitt098
[/color]

Yes. There are a few colleges in USA that are open for GMAT Waiver route for this year's application cycle. Cornell, UNC, Darden are a few I know for this year since I am working with applicants who are taking that route.

Do note that you will need to justify the following in the application:
- Why are how are you confident that you will be able to flourish in the program's rigorous academic environment.
- Since GMAT/ GRE tests your Quantitative Skills, Verbal Skills & Logical Reasoning primarily, how have you demonstrated these qualities in your academic & professional lives. Certifications and Courses always help.

Feel free to reach out in case you are looking at specific help wrt drafting a compelling application.

Cheers and all the best !!

Unless you have a compelling reason to seek waiver, should you really? Especially when the world out there is full of candidates who are applying with a score. In my opinion, seeking a waiver is like escapism.

Yes, schools admit candidates with waivers, but only because they have something really significant in their profile. The challenge with Indian candidates applying from India is that there will be plenty of others like you. It's a buyers market and you are selling your candidacy. So what USP are you offering to schools?

Lastly, even if you get an admit with a waiver, chances of a scholarship are very, very low. So if you are dependent on a scholarship, another reason not to the waiver route.

Hi kitt098,

While a strong GMAT score is generally preferred for top-tier MBA programs, some schools may consider applications without it, especially if you have a strong overall profile considering your work experience.

Regarding your question, several MBA programs in the US have started to adopt a more holistic approach, considering candidates even without a GMAT score. This trend has been especially prominent in response to the challenges brought by the pandemic, where some schools are offering waivers or placing more emphasis on professional experience, academic records, and personal achievements.

- Highlight your quantitative abilities through your work experience, coursework, or certifications.
- Craft compelling essays that showcase your leadership, problem-solving skills, and career goals. Secure strong letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to your abilities.
- If a school offers an optional essay to explain your choice of not submitting a GMAT score, use it to reinforce your strengths and explain how your work experience compensates for it.

You may want to research each school's specific requirements and, if possible, connect with admissions representatives to understand their current policies on standardized testing.
