Hi,
Hope whoever is reading this is doing well and keeping safe. I plan to apply for the intake of 2022. I'm shooting for one of HSW, and a mix of other schools as part of my app strategy. Please evaluate my chances for Wharton.
Here's a brief of my profile:
Indian Male, 26
GMAT - 770(Q51 V44)
Education: IIT (top 3 engineering school in India) graduate, Chemical Engg (bachelors+masters)
GPA: 8.4/10
Work-Experience (4 years at the time of application): Decision Science and Business Analytics
- 1 year as a consultant with a data analytics consultancy (1 promotion + award)
- 2 years as a product analyst with a top global financial services company (top performer in team, 1 promotion, closely worked with partners around the globe
to drive multi-million $ impact, narrowly missed out on a firmwide prestigious award)
- Current: 1 year as an Associate (decision sciences) with a global Investment Bank
International Exposure:
- Zero physical exposure - no work/leisure trips outside of India
- Plenty of exposure through work - my current team is very diverse in terms of nationalities, my previous job involved collaborating with partners situated across the globe
Extra-curriculars:
College:
- Hostel Secretary (elected by ~400 students), Dramatics, Water-polo team, College festival coordinator, drummer
Post College: (Weak I think :/)
- Recently joined toastmasters to deal with my fear of public speaking, have been giving speeches on a regular basis
- Project Management volunteer for a global non-profit statistical consulting organization
Post MBA aspirations:
- Short term: Strategy Consulting
- Long term: Analytics Consulting / Data-driven Strategy leadership (preferably in big-tech)
Schools: (Looking primarily for 'quant-y' schools, with a decent international brand, as I plan to move back to India in the future)
- Dream: Wharton, Booth, MIT LGO
- Other schools: INSEAD, Kellogg, Tuck, Yale
Thanks a lot!

Hi ajay94
Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations
My name is Shimri Winters, I head the strategy here at ARINGO
You have a very interesting profile! From what I can see:
- GMAT – 770 is a great score. Well done!
- Academics – great undergraduate degree. Good uni and good GPA! Nice
- Work Experience –you are a bit young, but your 3.5 years you have to date sound very impressive. The promotion and award sound great, and although you haven’t traveled abroad, working with international teams can compensate for that!
- School wish list – Realistic – LGO is a great program but obviously very small (I think there are about 10 foreigners each year that get in - We work with about 6-8 applicants each year, with 50% success rate in the last 3 years). the other schools all great with some good backup options too. so all in all YES, but go for as many as possible
- Extracurricular activities – this is not your weakest part… you have some nice experiences, and “Enough” to show on this front!
To conclude - sounds like you have a top-notch profile! And with some stellar applications (we can help with that) you have great chances overall.
What to do now? concentrate on work (more promotions / awards / responsibilities / projects abroad / management etc)
Happy to help further in a couple of months… I suggest starting to work on R1 around May! as usual, I am always on info to [email protected]
GOOD LUCK!

Hello ajay94,
You have a strong profile (good acads, school and a great GMAT score) on paper, with a realistic school wish list.
However, much of the probability of success will come from the strategic positioning of your application, e.g., your accomplishments, your need for an MBA and how you will contribute to the academic community while you are a student.
One thing I’ve found is that oftentimes people have better ECs than they think they do. This can be discussed to form a good positioning strategy. If you still feel this is an area you can improve, you can volunteer with an organization in roles that closely resemble your professional experience (or better still contribute in roles that match your experience in the current on-profit).
Good luck!
