Hi Everyone,

I'd like your advice and thoughts on my profile.

I am applying for deferred admissions programs. I will be reserving my spot for 2 years while I get work experience. I am from the US but my ethnicity is Indian. I am the only person in my family to have been born and brought up in the US. Here is some more information on my profile:

Undergrad: Ivy League (Majors - Neuroscience and Economics)

GPA: 3.7/4.0

Masters: Ivy League (1 year program in entrepreneurship)

GPA currently: 4.0/4.0

GMAT: 720 (49Q, 38V)

Target Schools: M7 and Yale, Darden, and Haas

Joining a top boutique consulting firm after my Masters ends in May.

I will be getting a recommendation letter from a professor from Harvard Medical School and from one of my current professors who went to Harvard Business School.

Currently I am finishing my masters, interning for an international food company, and filling out applications for B School.

I want to know what my chances are and mostly worried about GMAT score. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be sure to provide additional information.


Thank you!

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your profile. A few questions:

What is the following? Is this a Masters in Entrepreneurship?

Masters: Ivy League (1 year program in entrepreneurship)

Why are you getting a recommendation from an Harvard Medical School professor? Do you take classes there as an undergraduate student?

What extracurricular activities are you involved in and what initiatives have you led? That is a major component for the deferred admissions programs.

Your GMAT score is fine. I would not take it again. Your bigger issue is going to be nailing your essays and introducing serious accomplishments beyond grades/scores. In general, you definitely will be given a real look at the programs you have listed.

If you need help with your application, please reach out to us for a free consultation. We work with deferred admissions candidates every year and are happy to help craft your narrative.
