Hi,
Please evaluate my profile. Here's a summary:
Nationality: Indian
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Education:
Institution: BITS Pilani, India
GPA: 6.87
GPA: 2.7 - basis GMAT report card
GMAT: 720
Q: 49 | V: 38 | IR: 6 | AWA: NA yet
Work experience:
WE: 86 months
Industry: Marketing & Advertising
I started my career with a digital marketing agency catering to some of the biggest clients across India and I was handling some of their larger portfolios. Spent about 4 years there, handled a team of 7-8 individuals at any point of time and advertising spends of $10mn+ monthly and scooped up 3 promotions during my time there.
Spent a year at a travel experience aggregator with operations across US, EU & Middle East. Led their digital marketing team and build and improved revenue streams across these regions. Got promoted once during my time there.
Moved to one of the largest OTT Video platform in India to lead their digital marketing efforts and have been working with them for the past 2 years. Have consistently been crucial to the growth of the platforms and part of the core marketing team. Lined up for promotion this year.
Awarded by org twice for internal accomplishments.
During my tenure at all 3 firms, I have directly worked with Business Heads and CEOs. Will have LORs from the relevant folks to back up for it.
Extracurricular activities (highlight notable undergraduate and post-undergraduate ones):
UG: Was involved organizing core events at college level sports and cultural fests
Avid Swimmer and Tennis player
Haven’t been involved in much beyond the above.
Post-MBA goals:
I have been in the marketing domain for the past 7 years and wish to continue doing so. The need for MBA arises to give a bump up to my career path and move to a firm working on solving high impact social problems through tech. Wish to work for global firms and gain international exposure.
Target schools: INSEAD(FR/S), NYU Stern, Cornell, Judge, HEC, NUS, NTU, IE Spain.
Questions
What are my chances at the above schools?
I understand that my GPA is on the lower side. How would you suggest I make up for it?
Any other schools that you’d recommend I look at?
Thank you!

Hello,
Thanks for posting. I'm not sure exactly what you meant by "GPA: 2.7 - basis GMAT report card" and then the other GPA above.... feel free to share your academic marks as they were listed on your actual transcript?? But it sounds like either way that is your main weakness, since your experience to date sounds varied and like you've gotten some good promotions and learned a lot, and hopefully (?) gained some leadership experience in there as well... if you aren't applying this year (??) you could seek some community experience with an organization you are interested in to help build up more recent community involvement. When you say orgs that are solving social problems through tech, ideally identify what some target companies are, and see if they recruit at the schools you are interested in... not sure if you are saying switch out of marketing entirely?? I was going to mention Kellogg and/or Duke with your marketing background, though both are decent for tech too... Kellogg would be more of a reach. Then there is LBS for that global focus, along the lines of what you'd get at INSEAD or Judge as well. Lots to consider ! Keep us posted and/or feel free to register for a free 30 minute consultation at any point, www.mbamission.com/consult. Good luck either way!
