Hi Elanc,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile looks good on the surface. Starting with stats, your undergrad GPA is good. The average GMAT score of the schools you are targeting is 720+, so if you improve your GMAT by 10-20 points, it will maximize your chances. On the work front, whatever I can see, it seems good. You have been in managerial roles. So, I think you can bring some leadership experience and impact. Your volunteer experience should reflect a collaborative leader and a compassionate person in your apps. Every school does stress on this part. Also, I would recommend including any hobbies or interests you have; this will add diversity to your apps. Your post-MBA goals align with your prior work experience, which is a plus. Make sure to include how MBA from a particular b-school will help you fill the gaps in your profile and accomplish your goals.
If you need any direction/guidance over any aspect of your application and have any specific concerns, you can ask us on the forum Ask MBA & Beyond.
Overall you have a good profile. I would like to know some major aspects of your work profile to find USPs! We have a hundred percent conversion rate for people from oil&gas to top notch business schools. You may want to read one of the success stories of oil&gas professional make it to lbs with 690 GMAT and 100% scholarship. It will help you give a good idea about your chances and will instil “right” confidence in you
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances to b-school. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Let’s maximize your chances in Round 1 for fall intake
Cheers!

Hello Elanc,
Thank you for sharing. How many times have you taken the GMAT thus far? While a 710 is solid, you may benefit from scoring 15 to 20 points higher, particularly if you are targeting M7s.
That said, your work experince and overall profile look strong. Personal MBA Coach has worked with many clients from oil and gas/engegy backgrounds and we can certainly talk with you about how to best position this experience in the context of your MBA applications.
Take a look at our comprehensive services and feel free send a note to [email protected] if you are looking for help putting together strong applications for top programs!
Regards,
Personal MBA Coach

PersonalMBACoach thank you for the response. I have only taken the GMAT once. On my most recent practice exam prior I had scored a Q48, so I believe that I could achieve a higher score if I tried again. I took the GMAT last year though so I would need to put quite a bit of studying in again at this point. I would prefer not to take it again but if it could significantly improve my chances, perhaps it would be worth it.
Thank you for the offer, I will definitely consider reaching out!
