Inputs & Choices Overview:
Background: based on your own judgement, how do you think your background will be perceived by the admissions committee? There are differentiators that make one's profile more or less diverse. For example an Indian male engineer is likely highly over-represented whereas a New Zealand Engineer is likely under-represented and a Military Applicant with Special Forces designation is likely under-represented or Unique in their background. Examples:
Undergrad Prestige in Your Country: - are there regular applicants to the MBA programs of your choice from your Undergraduate institution?
Age: This is age at the time of matriculation
Work Experience: This is your work experience at the time of matriculation
Reapplicant: If you are a reapplicant with a significant change in your application such as a difference of GMAT score that's 40 points or more AND additional changes such as using help with admissions or meaningful promotion in this application season, please select NO
How does it work?
There is a short and a long version of the tool. You could technically fill out just the GMAT/Background information. In that case, the tool assumes AVERAGE values for all other answers. To get the most precise answers/estimates, please answer every question. We have been working for a few years on a project that has been a brain-child of souvik101990 and I am glad we are finally at the stage that we can release and share it. Please give it a try and share what you think - appreciate any comments/feedback.
What do you think about this tool?
How can we improve?
What is done well?
Does it work for PT, EMBA, Weekend MBA?
Not yet. This tool only works for FT MBA Admissions.
Is this tool Perfect?
Ha. No. It is based on historical data but it is not perfect for every case. This is likely a case that explains the 80% of data and then has 20% outliers.

Hello nkcnkc - thanks for sharing your details. Having worked in management consulting in the Middle East (and Europe) post my MBA at HEC Paris, I'm happy to share my thoughts.
a) I would like to know my chances of being accepted into MBA programs at INSEAD, LBS, IESE, Oxbridge etc. (specifically looking for one-year- 15 months MBA programs).
Your undergrad university and grades are strong, and so is your experiences across Indian reputed organizations. My concern about your profile is the GRE score. Especially for the top B-schools (e.g. LBS, INSEAD etc.) a better score can significantly improve your chances. I suggest a retake if possible, particularly focusing on improving your weaker areas (i.e. sub-sections, question types). Your work experiences at reputed organizations like RBI and IOCL showcase your expertise in risk management, supply chain management and leadership. Make sure to highlight specific achievements/ peak points in your roles: the context of the achievement, what exactly you did, and the tangible/ quantified impact. I would add HEC Paris and ESADE to the list as these have alumni and good post-MBA opportunities in management consulting in the Middle East and Europe.
b) Additionally, do I stand a chance of receiving a significant scholarship at lower-ranked US schools? Just wanted a second opinion here.
Yes. Particularly for schools ranked below the top 30.
c) Which areas should I focus on to make my profile more competitive?
As your post-MBA goal is management consulting/ operations management in the Middle East/ Europe, identify particular firms and practice/ divisions within those that interest you the most. Most consulting firms (including MBBs, Big-4s etc.) recruit experienced professionals for specific practice areas. For example, Financial Services (particularly FS Risk Management) can be of interest. Furthermore, consulting firms specifically focused on Financial Services (e.g. Oliver Wyman) can also be interesting. Subsequently, list down your transferable skills from current/ past roles which can be applied to the role. These can include client/ stakeholder management, financial analysis, first principles problem solving, convincing stakeholders for decision-making, etc. Finally, identify why/ how an MBA and the particular B-school will provide you with the right resources (e.g. clubs, job networks, alumni, etc.) to help you transition effectively. Networking with alumni, particularly consultants/ ex-consultants can be valuable. Same applies to Operations/ Risk management roles.
d) Lastly, will my relatively low GRE score be an impediment to securing admission at these schools? I plan to allocate more effort to my applications and do not anticipate significant bump in the score.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if I can be of support.

Hey there! would love your invaluable feedback!
My profile and my questions are-
1. Profile: Female, 32, PSU Bank ex- 2 years, self startup- 2 years, GoI work ex 5.5 years (startup and GoI work ex overlapped for a year)
Gmat score- 710 (49Q, 37V)
Objective- my start up was good. Wish to revive/refine it. See if it is commercially viable. Also aiming for transition to private sector (financial consulting) whether or not start up works. (I am passionate about both, hence want to be in an environment to be able to figure out the best way forward- aka ExeMBA)
3. QUESTIONS-
How are my chances of getting into PGPX? which is more suitable for me - IIM A,B,C,L or ISB
I already have a home loan. Are there scholarships available to get in above institutes? What are other ways to finance an MBA?
