Hi
NitinB,
Thank you for providing such detailed information on your profile. I see several aspects in your profile that will assist you in creating amazing apps. So let’s go through your profile one by one.
Academics: Exceptional, you leave no doubt on your academic potential. The average GMAT score for the Rotman School of Management MBA incoming class of 2022 is 670, while yours is 710. I believe you should concentrate on creating an application now, and your whole profile will compensate for any odds.
Work experience: I notice you've transitioned from IT to education management; you'll need to explain this in your apps. Aside from that, your professional experience is excellent, and your progression from professor to administrative head demonstrates your potential—especially your Canadian internship and receiving an appreciation letter from Canada's Prime Minister. Overall, a fantastic work experience.
ECs and Volunteer: Your volunteer work has primarily been in the area of education. You must discover why and explain it in your essays (I bet it will bring a very compassionate personality). You may explain how it has shaped your life both personally and professionally.
Other elements of your profile, such as your awards and accomplishments, are also noteworthy. You will need to bring some diversity and uniqueness to your profile. Your post-MBA goals are the only thing lacking here. Your post-MBA goals are critical in deciding on a business school. I would like to know about your post-mba goals to guide you more. You may want to read an article on
low GMAT success story to Rotman, you will get some insights.
Overall a good profile and have a shot at your targeted b-school. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances to the b-schools. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!
