Vivian,

Thanks for the post! From what I see here, you have an attractive profile for the M7 schools. What school did you go to for undergrad? Also what firms have you worked for? Assuming you went to a good school and have a decently named firm on your resume, your profile fits the bill. The next step to determine whether you would get in over others is to look into your story a bit more to get a sense of what you plan to write about.


Hi Scott, thank you for your reply! Unfortunately both my undergraduate school and companies are not those famous big names.

Plenty of folks get in who come from non-feeder companies so you don't have to be too concerned. Let me know the details and we can go from there. [email protected]

Hi Vivian,

You have several pieces that will fit together to make a competitive application to the M7. As an Indian applicant, I would recommend that you cover your bases and look at schools across the top 15 to improve your chances.

I can comment more if you can give a better idea about your work experience, leadership, etc. Feel free to schedule an appointment through the link below, and we'll set up a free 30min evaluation.

Best wishes,
Karthik
