Hi rx10,

All fantastic updates in regards to a strong candidacy. The undergrad academics really demonstrates your capabilities. The startup experience all sounds like interesting work with an ongoing interest in the same industry. As you focus on answering the questions I posed regarding future career aspirations, consider how those goals relate to your track record. With an education in automobile engineering and working in entrepreneurial environments digitizing this space, you've shown continued commitment so it would make logical sense to continue this path if that's where you're passionate. There are likely many potential future career paths that make logical sense, I just mention this because I can see a clear trend. If you want to discuss this further please schedule a consultation.

I like to see see you've remained persistent and self-aware with the GRE. Showing that you've been dedicated and continued to improve counts for something, and a 325 isn't going to keep you out of any of the 3 schools you mentioned. With Tuck (320), Darden (319), and Kellogg (326), you're in the range. Given it's taken you 4 efforts, I wouldn't guide you to retake unless you told me you're confident you can get above 326 and even felt that a 330 is within reach. Instead, perhaps have recommenders elaborate on your quantitative skillset and make sure the rest of your application materials are as strong as possible.

Wishing you all the best!

Hi StratusMike,

Thanks for evaluating my profile. Here are some more details.

1) 7.8/10 - Yes it was First class with distinction(mentioned in official transcript)
My final year project was published in the national newspaper.

2) 1.5 yrs at a local startup - yes, so it was a small organization(vehicle service center) and I managed day 2 day operation, planning and inventory management.

3) My startup - Its an online platform where customers can book their car's service via app. Now I am managing 2 cities and looking after recruitment of professionals, marketing activities & B2B deals as well.

4) GRE - So this was my 4th attempt. earlier I got 316 , 320 , 323 and then 325. I gave this exams this year itself. I am interested in Tuck, Darden and Kellogg among top ones and surely planning to enroll next fall.

Regards
