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, Happy to comment on your profile in blue below!
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. Great score! Congrats!
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%.For India that doesn't sound too bad-- did you make first class? If there was something going on in your life that impacted your grades-- give that context-- don't make excuses-- but at least let adcom know what was going on outside of school at this time if that was an issue. OK-- now commenting after reading further-- so do give some context about your involvement in debate which is a great thing!

I'd be glad to talk to you further in a Stratus free consult-- you can look for time on my calendar Donna Bauman or talk to one of my colleagues at Stratus-- link for https://www.stratusadmissionscounseling.com/free-consultation/free%20consult%20is%20here
I had applied to Insead for the January 2023 intake in the second round, however, I did not make the shortlist.I have worked with people with less impressive stats from your profile and seen them make it into M7s including Wharton, Kellogg, Booth and Sloan and CBS. Not saying that you for sure will get in-- but I see some pretty impressive things in your story here and if you can do a good job of telling your story and also if you are open to some of the programs also in top 12 I think your odds also go way up. I'd be happy to talk further with you but I do see some really interesting things here that make me think you can be successful!
