Hi suchit.pandey,

Thanks for posting. First, I recommend you read this case study of an Indian applicant who was accepted into Columbia, Tuck, and MIT:

https://www.stacyblackman.com/comprehens ... ies/case2/

For ways that you can improve your application, remember that business schools are looking to cultivate future leaders, so any leadership and management experience you have will be important. This can be inside or outside of work.

For schools that you are interested in, do you have a preference in location? What are your goals post-graduation?

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hi suchit.pandey,

Admissions teams are looking for individuals who have made an impact and exhibited leadership. If in your football experience, for example, you held the role of captain, or took a leadership role, this could add a great element to your application. However, the impact of this would be much lower if you only participated in an organization, and did not take an active role.

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
