Hi,
I am a long time fan of the GMAT Club Forums.
I gave my GMAT in Feb and scored a 760 (V45, Q49) with a 5.5 in AWA and 6 in IR.
My nationality is Indian. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics from a reputed college in Delhi University however my overall grade is just below 60%.
I have around 6 years of varied work experience. I am 26 years old.
I started out as a strategy analyst for KPMG wherein I handled clients from Australia and Western Europe while working out of the Indian office. I worked here for over a year during which I was given a partner's commendation and became the only analyst who led communication training for the new members.
Post KPMG I joined a travel content startup where I built and led a 7 member marketing team and liaisoned with the tech team to build marketing products. I was promoted within 6 months since I helped reduce the overall marketing spend drastically while increasing the efficiency of our targeting by instituting data-driven processes. While working here I also became a travel anchor and a scriptwriter which eventually led to me starting my own venture after spending almost 2 years with this company.
I started a creative agency 3 years ago. Over this period, we have provided a wide cross-section of solutions to our clients ranging from social media posts to a travel TV show which streamed across 18 channels.
Part of the reasons for my average grades in college is down to the fact that I was heavily involved in debating and have won numerous tournaments at the national level. Till recently I kept mentoring college students to help them develop their public speaking skills.
I recently wrote a whitepaper on a set of laws that were to be passed in India. A lawyer took note of my concerns and we successfully were able to get the law amended. If the law were to be passed in its previous form it could have had a devastating impact on small businesses across the country.
I am hoping to get into one of the M7 schools in the US or into LBS since I want to eventually start a content-tech company. In the short term, I am looking at roles in either VC or in product management. I am slightly biased towards US schools since I am looking at changing careers and I believe a 2 year MBA would serve my goals better.
I had applied to Insead for the January 2023 intake in the second round, however, I did not make the shortlist.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi MBAAspirant133,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your background/stats. I'm sorry to hear about the outcome of your INSEAD application. Luckily, Personal MBA Coach successfully guides MBA reapplicants every year. This includes helping clients from overrepresented backgrounds develop compelling personal stories that stand out.
Do you have a new target school list? Our clients typically apply to 5-8 schools. While this may seem like a large investment in terms of time and money, there are several factors in the MBA application process to hedge against. Casting a wide net will help maximize your chances of success.
While it sounds like you have some strong leadership experience, you will really want to consider how to best articulate this in your essays.
Feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to further discuss your application strategy and how we can help set you up for success via our comprehensive services.
Regards,
Personal MBA Coach
