23 years old Black African Immigrant, Army Reserves Serviceman (Transportation Corps)
College: Small, private engineering college
GPA: 3.6 (Major GPA 3.8) | College years: Aug 2013- Dec 2017
Major and Minor: Computational Mathematics Major, Aerospace Engineering minor

GMAT: 760

Pertinent Info:

Enlisted in Military Accessions Vital to National Interests (MAVNI) Program for international students. Ship date was delayed 1 week before I was supposed to ship due to Secretary of Defense concerns about the program, and GPA suffered the following semester (penultimate semester ) due to anxiety and other challenges as a result of the sudden delay (lowest only time ever below a 3.2), recovered with a 4.0 in final semester with 21 credits.

Job Experience/Internships:

1) Co-Founded an IT solutions company in home country

2) Interned in Propulsion engineering group of Delta Air Lines (1 year co-op) (Delta for 4 months, school for 4 months on and off between Aug 2015 and April 2017).

3) Interned in Technology Division (Trade Processing) at Goldman Sachs in NY (3 mos): May-Aug 2017

4) 1 year in Securities Division Engineering (Listed Derivates) at Goldman Sachs in NY: April 2018 - May 2019

5) Currently Quantitative Analyst at Fin-tech startup in NY (portfolio and risk optimization for banks and institutional investors)

Why MBA?

I want to start a fin-tech company in my home country, a country plagued with many grassroots issues. I really want to be successful, so I want to learn as much as I can, and gain the skills and credibility I need to succeed from B-School. I also love that I'll be able to leverage an extensive alumni network

Leadership/Research/Awards

1) Research Assistant - Conducted research on mathematical models and how they are taught to new engineering students

2) Founded local chapter of Engineers Without Borders, served as president raised over $30,000 in funding

3) Student Tutor

4) Served in Student Government as a Representative for the College of Engineering and other roles.

5) Worked on various projects and held other leadership roles on campus

6) Lots of awards including Army Certificate of Achievement for Distinguished Leadership (only one per platoon training class of 30-60 people), American Institute of Aeronautics and Aerospace (AIAA) Iridium Scholar

7) Ranked top 25% of analysts in GS analyst class (End of Year Review - Ranking is graded Q1 (top 25%), Q2...Q4)

Positioning

Initially started off studying aerospace engineering as I loved planes and this guided my college choice. I realized even though I love planes, I also love fin-tech and the impact in can especially in my home country, this is what guided my pivot to change majors/career path.

Target Schools: Stanford (Hennessy-Knight Scholar), Harvard HBS - SEAS ( Dual MBA/MS), UChicago Booth, Columbia

Hi Dalan,
Thanks for sharing your story. You have a lot of strong profile elements that will help you in this process, including GMAT, GPA, relevant professional experience, start-up experience, recognition and awards, successful extracurricular involvements, international experience, quant ability, and being an under-represented minority. The biggest questionable factor to me at the moment seems to be timing... not sure what year you are aiming to apply but if it were this fall for example it would seem a touch too soon... most successful MBA applicants to top schools such as those you mentioned have on average 5 years of full-time work experience after university, and you graduated less than 2 years ago. Schools really appreciate a deeper set of experiences so that classmates can share a lot in classroom discussions and learn from one another, so I would suggest gaining another 1-2 additional years of work experience ideally and then applying if it is top tier schools you are focused on. Hope that helps and good luck to you!

Hi and thanks for your post.
Of the two programs you mentioned, the Weekend MBA would be the better fit. While 4 years is a little light in terms of work experience for a part-time program, the Executive MBA is for applicants with closer to 10 years of work experience.
The application process is truly holistic, and admissions will gauge your stats, work experience and extracurriculars. Your stats are about at the average for the Weekend MBA, though without knowing your accomplishments at work as well as your extracurriculars, it is hard to guage your chances. It will also be crucial to clearly convey your story, including what you will add to the classroom despite having fewer than the average number of years of work experience.

I'm happy to to discuss your profile more in depth if you would like to sign up for a free consultation.
Good luck!

Hello and thanks for your detailed post.
The application process is truly holistic, and committees will look at your stats (GPA and GMAT), work experience, and extracurriculars.

Your GPA is strong, so that is a good start. Your GMAT is good too, though compared to others in your demographic, it is below the average for the five schools you listed. If you haven’t already, I suggest taking it up to 3-4 times. You have nothing to lose since schools will only look at your highest score. And even a slight increase can boost your profile. You may still want to illustrate to the schools that you have the academic ability to succeed in the classroom. For example, you could showcase your quant ability in your resume, your recommenders could do the same in their recommendations, or you could even take a supplemental course such as stats or calculus.

Your work experience looks impressive, and it seems like you have been a part of some important accomplishments there. It is nice to see you are a top performer on your team. In your application, make sure to show your impact and all of your leadership and initiatives. Ideally this will be supported by strong recommendation letters as well. It will also be important to explain why you want your MBA, and to also illustrate the skills you already have which are transferable. Be sure your story makes sense, and is realistic and specific.

Regarding extracurriculars, make sure to really emphasize your leadership roles you have taken on. It is great that you have taught underprivileged children. And you can certainly mention – perhaps on your resume – your anecdote on completing the half marathon.

I suggest apply to a few additional schools as well as the competitive schools you listed. In general I recommend applying to reach, target and safety. Hopefully they will see that you have a compelling story.
Good luck!

Hello People,

Would be really grateful if someone could evaluate my profile-

10th grade (2009)- 88%
12th grade (2011)- 88%
BA Hons English (2011-2014)- Delhi University, BA Hons English- 64.5% (1s division)
MA English, Faculty of Arts, Delhi University- 61% (1st Division)
I'm not sure exactly, how this would be converted into the GPA system, but 1st division is very very decent in Arts.
Work Experience- August 2016-August 2018: Account Analyst and then Account Strategist at Yahoo.
August 2018-Present: Working at an established travel company, I lead content, manage a small team of 3 people and a few freelancers and agencies, and I also lead branding and communication.

I am primarily looking to apply in European colleges. Would be great if I could get some inputs on what my chances are, where I should apply and also whether I can qualify for scholarships since that would be fairly crucial in determining my final decision.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Youngun,
Without knowing more about your leadership examples and specific accomplishments, your profile looks like it's heading in the right direction, and you have that background in branding, marketing and communication while also did well enough on the GMAT quant given your lack of quant background. In terms of European programs, it depends a lot upon whether you want a 1 or 2 year option (most in Europe are 1 but not all), and if you have country/region preferences... generally speaking INSEAD and LBS are considered the top 2 and most difficult to get into; not impossible but a reach for you. Then Oxford & Cambridge, which could be worth a shot possible. Then programs such as IESE, IE, ESADE, Rotterdam, IMD, Bocconi, HEC, Imperial.... do some research on curriculum, employment reports, and class profiles for these schools and see what you think. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi I would like to get all inputs on my profile and your guidance for the same.

Unlike others I have not taken the GMAT but have instead taken the GRE for my MBA applications, will that deter my chances to the schools I am focussing i.e (Canada) University of Toronto, York schuilch.
(USA) University of Indiana-Kelley,
University of Texas, UNC Kenan Flagler.

Profile: Indian female, graduated and Masters in Law from India. Currently working in Singapore.

College: Government Law College, Mumbai (5 years course, GPA: second class, the degree does not make a mention of any % awarded to student but only mentions class)
Masters degree: University of Mumbai, (no GPA but only mention of class; second class)

GRE score 310 (but planning to give again, or will this be enough?)

Working profile:
Worked for top law firms in India in the M&A, PE and Project Finance area for 3 years.

Moved to Singapore:(June 2020 will be 2 years)
Wanted to reinvent my career.therefore started to work on
HR tech company for BD.
Currently working with a Fintech start up (start up operated in the payments industry) as the Business partnership and sales manager.

Planning to make application for colleges from Nov 2019- Jan 2020.

Looking at the 2020 Aug intake for the above mentioned colleges.

Extra curricular:
Volunteering activities in India with Various local NGO and Red Cross.

Volunteering activities in Singapore with RedCross.

Why MBA?

I would like to move in a more management centric profile where I can use my horizontal and vertical experience in shaping products and companies.

Hi JaswanthReddy,

Beginning the evaluation with your academic background, you have a good brand - IIT in your CV which is an added perk since all the top B-schools tend to favour applicants who are from the top 10 colleges of each country. Furthermore, while your GPA of 7.3 is a bit on the lower end considering your target schools, your GMAT score of 720 is pretty competitive and proves your academic prowess, thus allowing you to target any and every top B-school. Having said that, your GMAT holds only 20% of value in your chances of getting accepted, so there is no point in retaking your exam and slipping the chance of applying early to the program since there would be comparatively less applications which automatically means less competition for you. Thus, in my opinion, it is best to leverage the first mover advantage and apply in Round 2 itself.

Moving on to your work experience, you have close to 4 years of work experience, which is decent enough for an MBA program since it is designed for managerial professionals.
Though the extent of the period of your work experience is good, you still lack big brand names under your belt. However, eventually, what will matter is the quality of your work experience, whereby you can highlight why you chose this company, what kind of projects you undertook, what were your inputs and what skills you developed. This will also showcase how you are voyaging on a path towards your goal while portraying your dedication and consistency.

Now coming to your extracurricular participation, you have a good set of extracurricular activities under your belt. Most importantly, you have opened your own open source organization which showcases your entrepreneurial capabilities and also vouches for your leadership skills and potential as a good fit for the top B-schools. Moreover, you have been involved in many community works which showcases the socially responsible aspect of your personality, a trait defining great leaders. Additionally, I would like to suggest you take up a few certification courses to enhance your skills and proactive attitude.

Speaking of the schools that you are targeting both Sloan and Haas fall under the dream category whereby your chances of acceptance would be anywhere between 40-50%. That said, you need to back up your profile with a very strong application since you will be competing against applicants who have way more work experience than you and who have similarly great profiles.

Here, your application would play a huge role in enhancing your chances of getting accepted into your target schools as it would highlight your profile USP’s and overshadow any particular weaknesses in your profile. Additionally, you need to ensure that your LORs and Resume, equally depict the strengths of your profile.

That said, if you are contemplating on how to draft an impactful application, you can check out our All-in-one service, that is a complete end to end consulting process aimed at providing personalised application suggestions, unlimited editing service and expert consultants who would constantly be there to help you throughout your application journey. We’ve helped 2500+ applicants get into their dream schools so far, and we’d love for you to be next!

Hello,
I'm aiming for the top 20 European b schools and I've a score of 720 in the Gmat exam. I've done my 10th with 64.4 percent. 12th with 64.6 percentage and undergrad with 48.6 percentage in commerce and did by masters in commerce with 57 percent. I had been into sports that's mainly cricket at school level and I've a teaching experience of 6 years at school level other than that I've learned German language (B2 level). Did other courses from mbamaths of statistics and economics as well to demonstrate my maths skill further and I've been posting blogs on economy and business for sometime now. My concerns are my age and my undergrad marks which is on the lower side when there's a vast variety of other Indian applicants who have much higher than that. I need a piece of advice that am I gonna be someone who would stand a chance in top 20 bschools from Europe? I'd really appreciate a reply back. Thanks in advance.
