Schools: Darden '25 (II)
Hello,
Nationality: Indian
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Intake: Fall'23
Professional Background: Currently working in Strategy
Though my academic background was into engineering, I had been working in the fields of Supply Chain, Project/Product Management and Strategy.
GMAT: Attempt 1- 700 (Q51, V35, IR 3, AWA 4)
Attempt 2 - 760 (Q50, V44, IR 1)
EC's - Student Head at a technical student organization during my UG
Post-MBA goal - Continue in the same domain of (Strategy) Consulting at MBB or the Big 4.
B-Schools: T15-T25 with good scholarship
Questions: 1.) I am very satisfied with my online GMAT attempt 2 score. But I am very insecure if my extremely bad IR and AWA(yet to receive) will raise a big red flag at my admissions. ? Expert advice please
2.) My academic background puts me in the vast ORM category. But with a little unique professional background of Strategy Consulting, Will I have an edge over the others?
Suggestions of schools are highly welcomed.

Thanks for posting. Replying to your questions:
Questions: 1.) I am very satisfied with my online GMAT attempt 2 score. But I am very insecure if my extremely bad IR and AWA(yet to receive) will raise a big red flag at my admissions. Retake is not an option as I am not very confident that I can repeat this performance again. How do I tackle this? Expert advice please
A: An IR score of 1 is troubling. Normally if it's a 3 or something you can get a pass. You should submit both scores. Let the school decide how to handle it. They'll pick the one that's most favorable to you and them. You should also address this matter in your optional essay for each school.
2.) My academic background puts me in the vast ORM category. But with a little unique professional background of Strategy Consulting, Will I have an edge over the others?
A: Possibly, it'll just depend on how you capture your experience in your essays. How you brand yourself is going to be the difference between a run of the mill consulting application and one that really stands out.
If you think an admissions consultant could be of help (and it might be for your essays), don't hesitate to sign up for a free consultation using the following link:
