Hi everyone,
Would like to ask you about my profile, here it is;
GMAT
710 (91%) - Q 49, V 37, AWA 5.0, IR 6
Education:
Monash University Australia (Malaysia campus) - Computer Science - Jul 2011 (GPA 2.667/4, WES converts this to 3.2/4)
Pre MBA class
MGMT 115 X - Business Statistics - Mar 2017 (A - highest grade)
MGMT 100 X - Business Economics - currently taking, to be completed by Sept 13 2017
Low GPA due to family issues (both grandparents passed away while I was on my 1st and 2nd year).
I will definitely address this issue in the optional essay and told the Adcom about the pre MBA class I took
Work Experience:
Been working for close to 6 years now. Currently work as Lead Product Manager at a FinTech company in Indonesia. Been promoted twice within the last 1 year since I joined. Company just raised series A from some prominent VCs in the region.
My direct supervisors are a Kauffmann Fellow and an ex engagement manager at McKinsey. I work closely with both of them and both are more than willing to write me a recommendation.
Goal:
Short term: product manager at a passive wealth management FinTech company in US (Silicon Alley comes to my mind). So geography and concentration switch, but not industry
Medium term: moving back to Southeast Asia to a FinTech company (probably Singapore or Indonesia)
Long term: if the market permits, start a FinTech of my own, most probably in passive wealth management area
Extracurricular:
- Organized 2 startup weekend events in Indonesia, startup weekend is an event sponsored by Techstars
- involved in a 1-day teaching program in rural area
- GMAT quant instructor. 2 students, both admitted to INSEAD
Background story:
I'm a male 27 y.o. Indonesian.
I'm going to reapply this year to Anderson and Haas. In addition to this, I'm going to apply to CBS.
2 years ago I was dinged w/o interview at Anderson, Haas, Wharton. I was dinged with interview at Ross.
I've only taken the GMAT once. 710 might not be that high of a score, but I decided to work on other areas of my application since everything else is still fairly weak IMO. These include taking pre MBA classes, teaching GMAT, getting new job related to short-term goal in FinTech (and doing very well in it), and some of the other extra curricular activities.
So, what do you guys think of my profile?

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your profile and your background. Overall, you are doing all of the right things to strengthen your profile. Your GPA is on the lower side, but I like that you have hit a solid threshold for the quant section of the GMAT (Q 49) and that you are doing well in the pre-MBA classes that you are taking. Professionally, you seem to be doing well and are taking on more responsibility, which is great. The one area that can be strengthened is your involvement in extracurricular activities - it would be helpful to see more leadership.
I would be happy to discuss your profile in more detail through a free consultation if that would be helpful. I can be reached at info@ivygroupe.com or https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact.
Best,
