I'm optimistic, there is a lot to like here.

I would obtain a leadership position in a community organization (board position with the tutoring outfit, for example) - you want to have leadership stories (HBS) and innovation stories (GSB) lined up. Do you have any international work experience?

Think about what your brand is, what is your special sauce, your personality, what you are known for, outside of being super accomplished? How are you going to make the adcom feel they understand you and want to champion you?

Take a look through my intake questionnaire to get a sense of how I size up clients :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/sxvjda7lwoaom ... .docx?dl=0

Hi dancingnataraja,

Great profile, indeed! I think the inputs you've received are on point. What I didn't get from your post is the reason for an MBA? What are your professional goals? Why do you require an MBA? This is especially important for an applicant such as you who is early on in her career. Among other details, a clear and concise reason for an MBA is pivotal to your admit (specificity is valued).

Happy to continue the conversation. If interested, click here to coordinate a call.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

I am a 2017 undergraduate from MIT with a 4.4/5.0 GPA. Female, 23 years, of Indian descent.

I've scored 760 on GMAT with 50 quant/42 verbal.

I am currently at Microsoft as a Product Manager and received a promotion 15 months in.

I hope to apply for MBA programs at HBS, GSB, Kellogg, and Booth next Fall (2019) to matriculate in 2020.

Extracurricullarly, I am a performing artist so I am creative/artistic director and choreographer for a large 501c3 in my area and also travel to perform. I additionally tutor/consult high school students as education is a passion of mine. Happy to provide more information as needed.

Please let me know where you feel my package is lacking and my chances for these schools.
