Hi shobnaM,
Your 2.5 years of experience is really great. I think once you get a great GMAT score, you are very much sorted for your application. Your experience from start-up to brand management is excellent exhibiting innovation, brilliance, leadership, and knowledge across a range of industries. Your ECs and community experience are amazing too. So, I think you are a full package and the only thing you have to work hard on is story-telling (which actually is the deal-breaker). You seem to have a great shot at your target schools (just classify them as to reach, target, and safety schools and then strategize application accordingly). We are happy to discuss further your chances and would love to hear your story. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!

Hi,
Would really appreciate a profile evaluation folks.
Male - Pakistan, 29. Will be 30 by the time I start the program next Fall.
BBA, 3rd Ranked B-School in the country GPA 3.3/4
MBA, From a Top 2 business school in the country, GPA 3.06/4
GMAT - 750
CFA Level 1 and 2 passed.
I am hoping my GMAT and CFA Level 1 and 2 can compensate for the lower GPA?
Extra Curr: Have been President of various societies in university, and involved in a lot of charity work as well. Also have been the founding member of official supporters club of an England based football team in Pakistan. Years of handwork and pure dedication have gone into it, and the community is still running strong.
WE: 5 years by Fall 21 (All in Pakistan)
16 months with a Digital Media Start Up. Started off as a Marketing Analyst, and got a promotion within 6 months.
Associate Markets & Deals, 9 months with a Fortune 500
Financial Sales Analyst, US based Forbes Cloud 100 company. 7 months.
15 months at a gaming start up. Here I was responsible for scaling the product and the entire strategy formulation.
Currently working as an Account Manager for a US based Insurance Company in their Pakistan office. Just started 2 months ago.
My biggest concern is the hopping I did in my 2nd and 3rd job (9+7 months) and if it would come back to haunt me? I blame my ambitious self for it, since I really felt I couldn't grow in those roles, and switched jobs frequently. I would also be willing to wait another year and start in Fall 2022 instead if my job consistency would be a problem for the adcoms.
Reasons for doing a 2nd MBA are simple. The Pakistan MBA experience happened when I was too young. Most of what I learned in class was pure theory that I couldn't connect with, as there was no work experience to set the context. Students, especially in Pakistan jump on the MBA bandwagon right after completing their undergraduate degree, and I did the same. It is also very common for universities to select students for their MBA program with no prior work experience.
Secondly, and most importantly, while I have worked in international firms in Pakistan, my aspirations are no longer limited to Pakistan only. The 2-year Pakistan MBA degree hasn't helped in taking the leap into the international arena. Hence, an MBA from a top global B-school would be passport to a truly global career.
Post MBA goal is to get into Tech or Management Consulting ideally in London or Dubai.
Will really appreciate honest feedback. Thanks in advance!
