Hi,
I am looking forward to pursuing Masters (not MBA) in a business field (General Management/ Operations/ Marketing/ Business Analytics). I have done my bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from India from an average college (college ranking around 90) with 74% (top 40% of the batch) in 2020. I don't have any extracurricular activities to show in the application form but I started a small venture for around 10 months when I was 16. Then after my first year of college, I started working in the family business ( small scale distribution business in the healthcare sector) where I worked for 2-3 years part-time and 2 years (completing in July 2022) full-time (sales/operations/retail profile) and made some significant contributions by pivoting and reviving the failing business. I would like to know which colleges and courses (2 years courses preferred) I can apply to with a GMAT score between 650-720 (yet to take). I also wanted to know how can I prove my part-time work experience both in the family business and for the venture I started at 16 alongside my senior secondary school education. Would these have any significance as there is no documented proof because of the venture being in an unorganized sector?

Hi there. Welcome to GMAT Club!
Your part-time experience would be hard to count since most programs don’t really take into consideration non-full-time work experience, especially in a family business. The main reason is because recommendations are unreliable when your own parents or relative write them…. You can however show a certain direction or initiative with the biggest accomplishment not really being your part-time work experience but just showing that you’re entrepreneurial and that you started your own venture and then during Covid you worked at the family business because you were interested in certain aspects of how it runs and then perhaps you realize that it’s too small and you really like certain aspects of it … you can use that experience to your advantage in your story but it’s not an asset by itself per se on an app.

Thanks, BB for the response. Since LORs from family/friends aren't taken positively, would two academic LORs from college professors (I graduated in 2020) be fine?
