Hello everyone!
I have scored a 730 in GMAT and I'm looking to apply using this score for an MBA.
But, here's the thing.
I completed my undergrad way back in 2018 in India and i always wanted to pursue an MBA because of my interest in finance. So, Post my graduation, I started working as an accountant in a local firm in my hometown. I worked there for a couple of years. But, due to family reasons, I had to leave that job and decided to join my family business which is a real estate construction firm and I've been working there since. But now, since my family situation is better and i am in a position to go and fulfill my dream of pursuing an MBA in finance, I thought of giving the GMAT and I got a 730.
But how do I explain all this? How do I explain the transition from real estate to finance? Also, is family business experience counted as a gap? How do I go about this in my application?

Experience in a family business is very much counted as experience and is not a gap. Write exactly as you have described. However, when are you applying? Round 2 deadlines are on your doorstep already. If you haven't already prepared your applications, I would strongly advise you to go for R1 in September 2024.
You're welcome to DM if you have more, specific questions.
And well done for 730!
