Hi,
I need help in getting my profile evaluated and getting answers to some questions regarding admission into colleges in Canada.
Demo:
M/29/Indian (Holding Canadian PR)
Academics:
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 2009. CG: 6.97/10
GMAT:
Not yet attempted. What should be the target score based on profile and college?
Work Experience: Total 8 years of experience
Latest experience at a Super App startup where I was the Head of Product Operations and Experience, in Vietnam (for 2 years).
Short stint in Canada for 3 months as E-commerce Manager.
Prior to that, I have diverse experience in city Operations, BD, Marketing and Sales in India in various startups and organizations. Co-managed my family business with my father for 1 year. Also worked as a mathematics teacher for 6 months.
In majority of the companies, I have been promoted within a year of employment.

Post MBA goals:
1. Grow internally in organizations and reach C-suite level to drive not only work goals but also culture within companies.
2. As a second priority, take up Product Management in tech based startups/ organizations, using prior experience to my advantage.
Target School:

Questions (Apart from profile evaluation):
1. What other schools in Canada could be targeted for MBA, with/ without scholarship for domestic students (as PR holder)?
2. What should be the target GMAT score for HEC Montreal with this profile and for other recommended colleges?
Thanks.
Jhherry hi,
Shimri from
ARINGO here
From what I can see you have a strong profile!
Very good academics, great career progress, nice international experience in Vietnam and Canada and of course EC activities.
What are you missing? a GMAT score and a stellar application
Answers to your questions:
Q: What GMAT score do you need?
A: Well, the higher the better... but as the school's average is 625, I suggest you target a 650 plus
Q: what other schools can I target
A: All top Canadian schools, like Rotman, Sauder, McGill, Schulich, Queen's, Ivery...
Q: what GMAT score would I need for these top schools?
A: As you come from a very competitive background (even with the PR), I suggest you aim for 700+ for all the above schools
Happy to discuss further and perhaps assist with your amazing application.
As always, I can be found on
