Thanks for reaching out! Please see our responses to your questions:
1. Shortlist colleges as per my post-MBA goals and scholarship factor. I’m open to tier 2/tier 3 if that gives me a better chance of a scholarship. Please suggest which schools would be the right fit.
A: If want to increase your chances of scholarship money, you are going to have to drop way down from this list. As noted in the next question, your GMAT score and competitive cohort are going to make things difficult.
2. My school list includes Marshall, NYU, Mcdonough, Emory, Rotman, ISB, UCI Paul, and Foster. Please let me know if these are realistic options.
A: I believe that several of the schools on your list (Marshall, NYU Stern, Rotman, ISB) are going to be really challenging with your GMAT score, especially V33. Those are competitive programs and you are coming from a popular demographic cohort. I wouldn't necessarily dissuade you from applying to those, but it definitely feels like an uphill battle. Even a school like Foster, which is lower ranked, could be a toss-up. Then, if you want scholarship money, it's going to add another layer of complexity.
3. What are the things to highlight for impactful essays, and if my post-MBA goal is on the right path (as I am currently taking up managerial duties, my worst case scenario would be to move to product management)
A: This is a much more involved conversation than can be achieved in a posting here. We would have to understand your personality and background in more depth to lay out an essay strategy that best highlights what makes you different. Your post-MBA career goal is fine overall - a case can definitely be made based on your current background. Ultimately, it really comes down to how you articualte it all in the essays themselves.
I strongly recommend you reach out to us for a free consultation so we can discuss your background, school list, essays/strategy, and our professional admissions services with you in more detail. Kindly use the link below:
