Hello and I hope anyone who’s reading this is safe, healthy and generally coping well.
I’m requesting this profile evaluation since I haven’t come across others who have a similar background. The Columbia GSB J-Term and LBS are pretty much the only schools I’m considering and I thought I would get an opinion before I went ahead with the applications.
I’m Indian and possess a first-class honours degree in Economics from a top-5/10 (seems to vary by year) Indian undergraduate institution alongside a Master’s degree in Comparative Political Economy from the LSE.
I just turned 34 which, I’m aware, makes me an older candidate. I’ve scored a 324 on the GRE (164-V, 160-Q).
Over the last 5.5 years, I’ve been working in the field of public and development policy. My employers have included a global non-profit for whom I worked across South Asia and the BRICS countries and a development consultancy specialising in the intersection of technology and inclusive finance. Through these stints, I’ve managed the Indian/South Asian chapters of multi-country programmes backed by international donors including the Gates Foundation and the European Commission, among others. Additionally, I’ve worked as a journalist for 4 years for two of India’s three largest English newspapers where I reported on rural development, trade and politics.
My thematic engagements have included public finance, global governance, agriculture, and labour. My functional expertise lies in project/programme management, research design and policy analysis, and developing advocacy strategies.
I’m happy to go into more detail including why I’m applying for an MBA now but I wasn’t sure that was needed to evaluate the profile itself. That said, I’m happy to provide more details.
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ChangingLanes,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Let's start with your work experience. I believe your work experience establishes you as a strong leader with international exposure (which makes your reason for pursuing MBA for global opportunities stronger). Your experience as a journalist will add diversity to your profile as well as the incoming class. Candidates who can bring different perspectives to the class and appreciate other points of view are encouraged by the AdComs. Overall, your work experience appears to be good. Your GRE score is quite low, but I feel your entire profile will compensate for it if presented effectively. As an older candidate, you have both advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to you to maximize on them. What are your post-MBA goals? Post-MBA goals are critical in narrowing down the schools. I'd like to learn more about your profile to assess your fit for business schools. If you'd like, we'd be delighted to hop on a call with you sometime this week to go through your profile in-depth and discuss further chances to the b-schools. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!
