Hi!
Could you please do a profile evaluation for me?
I am an Indian Female
My have a Bachelor's degree in science from Delhi Univ. with 68% score
I havent appeared for GMAT yet but I'm preparing and aiming for a score of 700
I have 6 years of experience as an animator working in companies such as Rockstar games and Technicolor.
Currently I am employed with an animation startup (around 50 employees) as Project coordinator since an year. I have been responsible for handling international clients, coordinating with the internal team and external contractors in the animation department.
I volunteered as a manager in an NGO for 6 months, and with Alliance Francaise for about an year as an assistant event manager have organized small scale events in animation institutes throughout the country
In terms of international exposure, I have been part of a fellowship by Epic games where they chose 20 women from asia pacific to finance their short films. I also volunteered to reach out recruit for the next year's batch, which had expanded to middle east and Africa as well.
I dont have a target school yet, but I am considering schools in India, Europe, Australia and Asia
Also, I am open to waiting an year to improve my profile. If there are any suggestions, I'm super open to them!
Thanks

Hello mmshake, and thanks for your post.
The application process is truly holistic, and committees will look at your stats (GPA and GMAT/GRE), work experience, and extracurriculars.
If you want to be admitted into a top school, then you will have to score well above your target school’s average, especially for schools in the US and Europe. Your GMAT must compensate for a below average GPA, and it must also help to raise that school’s average. I suggest taking it up to 3-4 times. You have nothing to lose since schools will only look at your highest score. And even a slight increase can boost your profile. You could also switch over to the GRE if needed. And you may still want to illustrate to the schools that you have the academic ability to succeed in the classroom; you could take a supplemental course such as stats or calculus.
It is hard to gauge your work experience without knowing your accomplishments and impact you have made there. It will be important to show you have made an impact and demonstrated leadership there. Ideally this will be supported by strong recommendation letters as well. It will also be important to explain why you want your MBA, and to also illustrate the skills you already have which are transferable. Be sure your story makes sense, and is realistic and specific.
Regarding extracurriculars, make sure to really emphasize your leadership roles you have taken on. Acting as a manager at an NGO for 6 months certainly sounds impressive; that is one aspect of your profile on which you can elaborate.
I suggest applying to several schools, including reach, target and safety. Hopefully they will see that you have a compelling story and are someone who will add value to the classroom and community.
Good luck!
