Profile Evaluation Request

Hi gayatrisk1994,

Thanks for sharing your profile details with us! Your competitiveness as an applicant will depend on which schools you're talking about (including geography -- top US schools draw a different applicant pool than top European schools to some extent, for example), but broadly speaking, here are some top-line thoughts for you:

Academic credentials: Your GMAT is great -- the reality is that Indian applicants in particular need to log top scores in order to stand out, so you're in very good shape there. Your college record sounds solid as well, though you'll be up against applicants from top Indian universities like IIT, so keep that in mind.

Work experience: You have management experience and international experience, both of which are highly valued. I recommend emphasizing your soft skills (people management with clients and the coworkers you're managing, strategic thinking) in your essays, as Indian applicants often face a stereotype of being overly technical. Make sure you're steering clear of technical jargon when describing the work you've done (a good way to check this is to show your essay to someone who doesn't work in your field, like a sibling or a friend, and asking them how much they understand).

Extracurriculars: You clearly have interests outside of work that you've pursued consistently over long periods of time! Awesome!

You'll want to make sure you can articulate your short- and long-term post-MBA goals and connect those back to your pre-MBA work experience, as well as to the reasons why you believe you need an MBA.

Good luck! If you'd like to chat further, check us out on our website (www.admissionado.com)!
