Hi,
Could you give me a profile review? I'm looking for an admissions consultant. Applying R2.
- Scored 680 - Q49, V34, IR 5
- Business Studies undergraduate from University of Delhi; but extremely selective (1% acceptance rate)
- GPA: 71.0% (University doesnt provide GPA), Graduated with "First Division"
- Undergraduate Extras: President - Music Society (won several competitions), Founder - Corporate Society and Visual Arts Society, organized several university level events, worked for a student-run online magazine
- Undergraduate Internships: 1 Summer each with Big4 and Export Import Bank of India; project work with CEB; Part time as a Student Brand Manager with an Energy Drink company
- Work Experience: 3+ years with a Research and Consulting firm (small-midsize with ~500 employees globally) providing Strategy-related business intelligence and client project support to a high-profile US-based consulting firm; 2 promotions, top 10% of analyst pool, and ~8 awards for performance
- Work Extras: Leading the employee engagement initiative (20+ indivi) for India (~400 employees)
- Entrepreneurial Experience: Co-founded a bespoke handmade jewellery manufacturing outfit with my mom; first-gen entrepreneur; jewellery is a male-dominate industry in India with a beautiful paradox
- Social Work: Not so strong; dabbled in teaching underprivileged students in school and college
- International Experience: Cultural exchange to Germany (high school), well travelled in Europe and SE Asia (personal), and transferred to European office to train new joinees for 3 months (work); Summer program at HYP (100% scholarship)
- Short Term Goal: Know the basics of consulting/strategy development from pre-MBA work experience; know the basics of business/management from Undergraduate but lack the ability to see the big picture. Want to move into strategy/consulting role focusing on retail/CPG
- Recco from Manager (who was transferred to the US office, so he will be US based), and Client (Wharton MBA)
- Target schools are Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Emory
Thanks!

Hey there and thanks for writing!
So your profile is good. You have good internships, good reviews, good promotions, and have some good extra curriculars in college. That plus being a female will greatly strengthen your profile (and make you more attractive to the adcom).
The only thing is that your GPA and your GMAT are both low for the schools you are applying to, and in my opinion would put Wharton Kellogg and Columbia out of range for you.
So now you can think about whether or not you want to adjust your school list and apply this year, or to consider retaking to improve your chances at top schools. The choice is yours, but here are some thoughts about Indians retaking the GMAT, which might help you think things through: https://bit.ly/B613Mgc

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the genuine feedback! Two questions:
1) What other schools do you think I could target - with my existing profile?
2) And if I were to re-take the GMAT - what is the 'minimum' kind of score should I be looking to reach to make Kellogg/Columbia/Wharton a reality?
My post-MBA goal will be in Strategy Consulting and then moving on to Consulting or Strategy for the Retail industry? (Have done work in this field and have a passion piece here as well related to the startup)
Thanks!
