MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi guys,
Following is my profile:
Indian, male, 25 years.
GMAT Online - 690 (Q50, V34, IR 4)
10th - 90.92%
12th - 88.5% -- top 1% of State (among the top 0.01% performers in engineering entrance)
Graduation (Engineering) - 8.4 CGPA -- University of Mumbai -- top 10% of the batch. -- -- an alumnus of one of the oldest engineering colleges in India (it was founded in 1887 so a vintage of 133 years). My undergrad school has been a B-school feeder for all the top B schools in India. A few extra-curricular activities spread across 4 years and 2 internships. Also, got an opportunity to present my technical paper at a national level technical conference organized by the largest research and development organization in India (CSIR).
Work Exp - 04 years (as of June 2020) in Financial Consulting spread across 3 organizations (1st being the oldest rating agency in India and 2nd is one of the Big4's) - 1 promotion + increase in the scope of work + experience in catering to C-Suite requirements within and outside India and 1 year in an NGO. I have been handling and managing the projects as an individual contributor. 7-month on-site experience in the Middle East + Consulted international financial institutions from India.
I had applied to Rotman, Oxford, Cambridge, Duke, Darden and HEC basis recommendation of my admission consultant and have received a reject from all the BSchools. I am not sure about my way ahead. It would be helpful if someone could guide.

Hi gmat1102
Please feel free to get in touch directly. We would need more details on your profile and apps to analyze and suggest. Some of the schools applied to here were quite ambitious. Some were ok; the rest would depend on the applications. The VJTI/CRISIL connection is good but by itself may not mean too much.

Hi gmat1102,
Your profile seems solid, so if you really want to go for an MBA consider re-applying next year. Think about things you can improve - retake GMAT for higher score? enhance your work experience with promotions or accomplishments?
Also, consider changing your schools list - you can be a competitive candidate at schools like McCombs, Tepper, Marshall, Kenan Flagler and more.
We have worked with several re-applicants who managed to get admitted on the 2nd attempt, so feel free to get in touch for consultation on your strategy and re-applications. Good luck!
