Harshita is undoubtedly one of the most resilient candidates I’ve mentored at admitStreet.
She graduated in textile design from NIFT, worked with European mass-market retailers like Carrefour and Tesco, and then made an unusual leap to BCG as a design strategist. But she soon felt the gap in her business toolkit and set her sights on a global MBA.
The GMAT became her biggest hurdle. She took the test nine times, climbing from a 460 to a 615 on the GFE (680 GMAT Classic equivalent).
Despite balancing a hectic job and recurring setbacks – the kind that would lead most people to give up – she never lost sight of her goal.
She was focused on INSEAD, recognizing it as the consulting powerhouse that could bridge her design expertise with world-class business leadership.
Outside work, Harshita incubated three startup ideas, conquered multiple high-altitude treks, and recently earned her scuba certification – a hobby that turned into a genuine connection when both her INSEAD interviewers turned out to be divers too.
Our work together focused on connecting her professional dots, articulating her impact at work, refining her post-MBA goals, and building a narrative that showcased her innate ability to thrive in challenging environments.
We also tailored her mock interview sessions, where we worked on translating her non-traditional narrative into the business language INSEAD seeks, without losing her authentic voice.
The result was a well-deserved testament to her grit: INSEAD admit with a €25,000 scholarship.
Harshita’s journey is a powerful reminder that while scores matter, it is the person behind the numbers (and their relentless persistence) that truly wins over an admissions committee.
