Hi rahulbhusan,

Your profile looks good on the surface. Your GMAT is strong, and it will compensate for your low undegrad scores. The highlighting part of your profile is your work experience. You will need to dig out the most amazing Unique selling point about you (which doesn't necessarily be from your professional life), which will make up for your spike factor.

To evaluate further, I will need more information about your profile, such as impact, details of your work experience, ECs, if any or hobbies you pursue and any other material information. You can mail your CV and any major community service/hobbies you are involved in at [email protected]

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and gauge your fit for Top 10 b-schools. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.

Cheers!

Hello rahulbhusan,

Thank you for your post. We would like to know a bit more about your profile to give you an accurate evaluation here. From what you have shared, your strong GMAT will help outweigh your low CGPA.

Given your 9 years of work experience, I am assuming that you are in your early 30s. Since this is on the older spectrum for full-time MBA applicants, you will not want to delay the application process.

Are you looking at b-schools in the U.S. or across the globe? Personal MBA Coach’s clients have been accepted at every top business school in the world including Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Columbia Business School, Berkeley Haas, Dartmouth Tuck, Michigan Ross, Duke Fuqua, NYU Stern, UCLA Anderson, Yale SOM, Cornell Johnson, London Business School, Darden, INSEAD, IE, IESE, HKUST and more.

Feel free to send a note to [email protected] if you are looking for guidance to get into top b-schools.

Best,
Personal MBA Coach

Hi rahulbhusan,

For an MBA program, the main parameters which are given the most emphasis are your GMAT score and the extent and quality of your professional experience. Keeping this in mind let’s jump right into your profile evaluation for an in-depth insight into the various parts that are imperative for your admission in an MBA program in the top B-schools. First and foremost, your GMAT score of 750 is an excellent score that will allow you to target every top B-school out there. Furthermore, you might fall a bit short when it comes to your GPA of 6.9. However, as reiterated previously, it won’t hinder your acceptance chances since, for an MBA program, the focus is laid on the work experience and GMAT score.

Moving on to your work experience, you have got 9 years of experience in the professional front which is quite impressive for an MBA. Moreover, you have delved into diverse roles which further adds value to your profile and acts as a differentiating factor. Having said that, it would be great if you highlight any managerial role and responsibility that you had undertaken at any point of your professional journey in order to show relevance to the MBA program which is a managerial degree program. In addition to this, you can also highlight the kind of projects you spearheaded, the impacts created and your major takeaways from the same.

When it comes to your extracurricular activities, you can highlight your contribution as part of any CSR activity or volunteering activity to showcase your potential as a social leader. Besides, you can also talk about certain certifications or courses that you undertook to showcase your constant momentum in the quest for knowledge and learnings.
When it comes to the top 10 B-schools that you can target for an MBA program, you can consider schools such as:
INSEAD, WHARTON, HEC PARIS, NYU, YALE, UC BERKELEY in the dream category (where your chances of acceptance are 40-50%).
DUKE, MICHIGAN, IE BUSINESS SCHOOL and SDA BOCCONI in the competitive category (where your chances of acceptance are 50-60%).

All things considered, you definitely need to pitch in a well-groomed profile which can be achieved through your application (comprising your resume, LORs, and Essays) as it helps differentiate you from the other applicants by highlighting your strengths and overshadowing your weaknesses such as your comparatively low GPA. Additionally, it also carries a 30% impact on your admission prospects which is why I would urge you to pay more attention to the same.

That said, if you are on the fence on how to draft an impactful application, you can check out our All-in-one service which is a complete end to end consulting process aimed at providing personalized application suggestions, unlimited edits, and expert consultants who would constantly be there to help you throughout your application journey! This end-to-end consulting service also encompasses assistance for scholarship essays, loans, visas, and most importantly the interview preparation.

Hi rahulbhusan

Yes, that is certainly a possibility. Your overall achievements seem noteworthy. Would like to know about the order, and your current work responsibilities and achievements. Please provide some more information on your goals as well, as well as the target schools within the top 10 that you have in mind.
