Hi Team,
I would really appreciate if you could take a look at my profile and give feedback.
Introduction:-
Aditya Kumar, Indian Male (26) with 5+ years of work exp in petrochemical industry in sustainability domain.
Targeting 2023 Sep Intake
Education :-
Class X GPA 10/10
Class XII 93%
B Tech from IIT Kharagpur GPA 8.25/10
Majors in Mechanical Engineering and Minors in Economics
GMAT :- 700 Q49 V35 (planning to retake , target 720-740)
College Experience :-
Changed my stream from Mining to Mechanical engineering at the end of first year based on extra-ordinary academic performance.
Honorary award after graduation from IIT Kharagpur for Social and Cultural achievement in college, won several medals for drama and theatre performances.
Led case study and ad-design team of college to win medals in internal and external competitions
Work experience:-
I am working in ExxonMobil, one of world's largest energy companies. I have worked in different functions and geographies in the last 5 years.
- 2017-2018 worked in supply chain as EMEAF(Europe, Middle east and Africa) Logistics and Distribution analyst
optimizing costs and improving quality and performance. Did 2 month assignment in Brussels, Europe headquarters working with senior management to develop the corporate plan of >100M$
- 2018-2019 worked in supply chain as Global Sales and Operations Analyst
focusing on inventory management and sustainable and efficient supply chain models. Did 2 month assignment in Singapore, Asia Pacific headquarters working with global leaders of the company
- 2019-2021 moved from supply Chain to market development as Project Manager
developed sustainable packaging solutions for construction industry in India, creating light weight industrial bags reducing >10,000 Tons of plastic waste and creating sustainable business for all value chain partners
-2021- present promoted to South Asia Marketing Manager
Developed circular business models promoting recyclable solutions with major global companies like P&G, Kimberly Clark, HUL, Becton Dickinson, BBraun etc
Managing a cross functional(sales, marketing and technology )and cross regional (India, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia) team for the last 1 year
Post MBA goal :-
I wish to continue working in the field of sustainability, but broaden the scope and impact of my work. I want to work in geographies like UK, US and Europe where focus on sustainability, carbon neutrality and clean energy is fast paced and aggressive. I want to gain more skillset other than supply chain and marketing to become a well rounded leader in this field. I will like to get connected to the right network through the college alumni working in this domain which can give me entrepreneurial mindset in this industry. To summarize, I wish to become either a corporate leader or an industry expert in the field of sustainability and I feel MBA from the right college can give me the accelerated growth required.
Advice/guidance needed :-
1. Shortlisting colleges as per my post MBA goals - factors to consider
2. What should be the ideal GMAT score for the colleges shortlisted
3. What are the things to highlight for impactful essays and LORs
4. Applying in R2 vs R1 (if the GMAT score doesn't improve)
Do let me know in case any further inputs are needed.
Looking forward to your response and appreciate you taking time out for this.
Thank you!

Hey Aditya,
First of all you have a very great profile.
You have a decent and relevant work experience, and Academically, you have a good GPA which showcases your academic power. Your CGPA is 8.25 or 8.3 which makes your GPA 3.46 and it is considered A grade. Speaking of your GMAT score of 700, it is decent but you are planning to retake it that would be best as it would work in your favour as it further illustrates your academic capabilities, allowing you to apply to most of the top colleges. While your grades do play an important part, your extracurricular activities and your other endeavours matter as well because AdComs are looking for applicants with holistically developed profiles.
Not only this your work experience also plays an important in your application process. As far as your work experience goes, since an MBA is a manager's degree and requires significant work experience, your 5+ years of work experience would put you at par with other applicants. In order to stand out from the crowd, you most certainly should focus on your GMAT and major projects of your work and how these experiences helped to develop and further groom your skills and knowledge. Since you have some big brands like ExxonMobil (one of world's largest energy companies) in your work experience, these will definitely benefit you and showcase an equally competitive profile.
Extracurricular + Achievements: Your extracurriculars are decent. It definitely showcases your hard-working skills as you have won several medals.
But I would recommend you to do volunteering as well, as it will shine in your application.
You just need to make a killer application highlighting all your skills explaining why you are the perfect candidate.
Make your application unique so that it stands out of the crowd.
Here are the Top MBA B-Schools you can target:
- University of Pennsylvania: Wharton
Columbia Business School
Harvard Business School
Insead
Northwestern University, Kellogg School of Management
Stanford Graduate School of Business
University of Chicago: Booth
London Business School
