A low GMAT score does not automatically end your MBA admission chances. Every year, top business schools admit candidates whose GMAT scores fall below the class average — not because the score doesn’t matter, but because the rest of the application....

Hi,
I would really appreciate some feedback on my profile. I am looking to apply in next 2 years. I think that is when I would feel professionally and personally ready for an MBA. I am interested in European schools.
Details:
Age: 26 years old
Gender: Male
Nationality:
- Indian
Country of residence: India
GMAT: Haven’t taken the test yet. But I am willing to invest the time and resources I need to get a +700 score.
Education:
- Undergraduate: University of Delhi - First division 67%
Work Experience:
- 1 year as a Business Development Executive at a HR tech startup
- 8 months as an Entrepreneur - Founded a HR Tech company to support companies with their hiring
- 2.5 years as Account Manager - Head of North India for a Tech Startup
- 1.5 years and working presently as Business Solutions Associate at Gallup India - Division of Gallup global consulting
International experience:
- Working on international client projects for the past 1.5 years.
Extracurricular:
- Was part of the founding team for the Entrepreneurship club at my college
- Organised events for Nasscom (Government of India body for the development of startups) to facilitate seed funding and tech co-founder hunting
Future Career goals:
- Transitioning into a consulting role
- Secondary goal - working in Tech - Product Management
A few Questions I have are:
- My experience has been in business development and marketing and while I understand that there is a need for diversity at these schools, would I get overlooked given my lack of experience in an analytical role?
- Which schools would be better suited for my career choices and profile?
Finally, thank you very much for reading. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Many thanks for posting on our thread. Please see our responses to your questions below:
- My experience has been in business development and marketing and while I understand that there is a need for diversity at these schools, would I get overlooked given my lack of experience in an analytical role?
A: No, not at all. You do not have to be in an "analytical" role to be accepted to a top school. I am also confident you do a degree of analysis in your roles in marketing and business development, so I wouldn't disqualify your credentials because they don't have a certain label.
- Which schools would be better suited for my career choices and profile?
A: If you are not applying for two years, it is way too early to say. You have had several jumps in your career before the age of 26 (which is a red flag) so I'd like to see some more stability. Your GMAT score is going to be critically important and, yes, a 700+ is critical for your demographic.
Still, schools like Michigan (Ross), NYU (Stern) and Berkeley (Haas) are all good programs to keep on your radar that have great strengths in both consulting and product management.
You may want to check out our Advanced Planning Program (see below link.) It is specifically designed for people such as yourself who are thinking ahead of their application season and want to do everything they can to set themselves up now to maximize their chances at the best schools.
