Hi JF

My long term goal to it to start a consultancy firm in India targeting fashion luxury retail brands in the country.

I graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), the best college for Fashion in India. I was awarded the best all round performance in my undergraduate program.

I started working in manufacturing sector first and then moved into retail planning. Yes, I have been promoted in terms of responsibilities and the size of the business handle in my current firm. I currently handle a team of 2 and have led a few cross functional teams in the past.

the only volunteer work I did was in my undergrad school, which was 4 years back. I have also played table tennis at national level.

Thanks
Aakanksha

Dear Aakanksha.
Thanks for the extra info!

Sooo, things look pretty good. Overall, your GMAT is very good, you have pretty good grades and as a female candidate from a pretty "Different" industry (plus I do like the tennis) your application will be more unique than many others. Probably your sweet spot will be somewhere between the Top 10-30. Although, as you know fashion is very location oriented... so obviously schools in cities like NY, Paris, Milan all make sense for you in addition to any other "Regular" MBA programs you are thinking of.

I hope this helps,
Best,
Jon
