Hi,
akarshmathur,
Thank you for your post!
First, I would like to say you do have a decent GMAT score, and your GPA is somewhat ok. However, you are still very young to apply, so first, I would like to understand your aspirations and motivation regarding your MBA. Coming to your work experience, you did well mentioning your job role. However, it's also important to add stellar leadership examples, elaborate on responsibilities, working environment, and critical projects, and add any professional/personal accolades.
Regarding your ECAs, I find your ECAs are your biggest strength, they are quite relevant, and you did well elaborating on your contribution, leadership roles played, and the impact generated. Additionally, I would also suggest adding any hobbies, certifications, and additional certified courses to gain additional points on your profile.
All in all, you do have a decent profile. However, you are still young; hence you need to convince the adcom why you think it's a good time for you to pursue your MBA. moreover, I would suggest adding a relevant post-MBA goal and linking your work experience, ECAs, and post-MBA goals by connecting dots between them in your school essays to mesmerize the adcom! As of now, I would require more information about your target schools, promotion, certifications, and post-MBA goals, as I feel your profile is still brief at these points. If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further help you with your strategy for essays and interviews regarding MBA programs, Feel free to
book a free session with us at your convenience.
Cheers!
