Profile Evaluation Request

Hi AKD1312,

Thanks for your message. I reviewed your profile similar to other candidates' profiles when I worked as part of a top tier program's admissions committee.

I really like that from a career standpoint, you have gained strong exposure in operations and in Telecom, not to mention exposure to several prominent functions and industries. I like that (in short time) you also gained solid teamwork, analytical and leadership skills in cross-functional and cross-cultural (i.e. Sweden and Australia) settings. Your cross cultural experience should not be undervalued.

Based on my experience over the past 6+ years, I think you have a strong background for the 15-20th ranked US programs as you prefer not to apply to the top 10 programs. Please do not underestimate or undersell your background. If you are looking at other programs, then I would also encourage you to apply to some European and Asian (ISB, IIM) programs that attract you.

Additionally, your academic background is in the competitive range for these schools and displays your ability to handle the rigorous curriculum. I would not retake the GMAT as you mentioned but give the applications your absolute best foot forward. Please keep in mind that for these schools, it will be imperative that you effectively communicate your personal and professional background, along with your aspirations for business school. Most importantly, make sure that the other aspects to your applications are produced with unwavering quality. I have read many online posts from candidates with similar backgrounds who were rejected from their dream schools, not due to a gap in their background but due to an inability to effectively share their background and aspirations for an MBA.

I hope this helps you. If you would like to further speak directly with our consultants who are former admissions committee members or our recent admits at any point, please visit https://macapproved.com/free-evaluation/

Best wishes,
Sue and the MAC Team
