Hi team, requesting a profile evaluation for HSW. My stats are below -
1. Indian, Male
2. GMAT 760, top 20 class percentile from a top 10 engineering school in India (non-IIT)
3. 2.5 years of work ex at MBB with a specific sector practice (1 promotion), and 2 years (upon matriculation) of work ex (1 promotion) in a top tier domestic VC aligned to the same sector - have closed multiple deals in the space
4. Post MBA Goals - Come back to India for later stage investing in the same sector but at a global fund (leveraging the MBA network + curriculum to bridge the gap)
5. ECs - During undergrad : Leadership position at an EC club, led team of 30+ for performances across India; Post undergrad : Independently did fundraising during COVID for charities + continuously involved in mentoring early start-ups outside of my role as well
Thanks in advance!

Hi desiapplicant28, thanks for reaching out for a profile evaluation. Academically, you've got a great GMAT and presumably a strong GPA too. From a work perspective, I think your profile is strong too. Of course, the MBB background is not the most unique, but it's for sure a strong one, and I especially like that you developed a sector specialty and then dove further into that through VC work. There aren't as many MBA applicants with pre-MBA VC backgrounds so that should help your chances. Your years of work experience makes now a great time to apply too. Sounds like your ECs are pretty strong too. Although the startup mentoring connects to your work, I think it will still be valuable to show leadership, networking skills, and giving back to the startup community. Re. HSW, those are the toughest b-schools in the world, but I do think you have a shot if you execute strong applications and are able to hone in on how your perspective will enrich the program and the experience of your classmates, especially at Wharton. Your letters of recommendation will matter a lot too. Good luck and let us know if we can help you further!
Best,
Kate
