Hi,
Tricky question!
Applying for a 2 year FT MBA
Target schools - Kellogg, UCLA US Primary Back up -Insead, IMD, Rotman.
Background:
1. Low GPA at 2.4 Studied - management business design (grad) and mass communication ( undergrad)
2. Strong leadership experience in data driven creative leadership and growth marketing. Start up experience - Key contributor in getting scale.
3. Over a decade of experience, age 39, Indian.
4. Hard core work dynamic experience but hardly any extracurricular.
Why targeting full time? I feel this will be a crucial period and since I haven’t focused on academics I haven’t really spent time in grooming my skills. MBA is not vanity for me, it’s a pivot to consulting in short term, preferable boutique. And setting my own boutique consulting long run. Also open to VCs, Startups.
Do share your views on the gmat score benchmarks, profile suggestions and job possibilities in US post mba with my profile ( assume the current turbulence is settled).
I was also strongly considering Rotman as it seemed a more stable path but still feel strongly attracted to cracking the A level colleges mentioned in US
This is a big one for me! Your inputs would be of huge value!
Thanks a lot

Hi Kgmishra,
You bring a highly distinctive profile with over a decade of experience in data-driven creative leadership and growth marketing, having played a key role in scaling startups. A GPA of 2.4 is notably low and it would be important to offset any academic readiness concerns. Hence, targeting a score of 695+ in your GMAT would be critical to mitigate academic concerns.
However, with 10 years of experience, you are on the higher end compared to the average (~5 years) for top-tier MBA programs - it will be crucial to clearly articulate and justify why now is the right time for you to pursue an MBA. European programs like IMD and INSEAD tend to have candidates with higher work experience and could be a stronger fit from that perspective. Post-MBA, a pivot to boutique consulting or startups should be viable with your background and experience.
Highlighting your leadership, professional achievements, relevant skills, career goals, unique experiences, and fit with the program effectively will be crucial in crafting a compelling application. To maximize your chances, consider applying to a balanced mix of reach, target, and safety schools.

Thanks a lot for the response.
Got a target for 700.
I am keen on the US and Canada primarily, considering entry to Western markets (I have worked for these markets). Do you have some insights for US colleges (T15) and Rotman in Canada? Would my profile be a good fit?
You have been very kind, thank you.
