Hi Dinesh, Thanks for sharing your profile. You have strong academics and, although you're an Indian Male engineer, you're differentiated through your U.S. Masters' degree and U.S. work experience. However, given the technical nature of your work and your lack of extracurricular and community leader...

Hi, If you take the GMAT in September, that means you'll immediately start working on applications and most likely will be limited to submitting in Round 2. That is totally fine, as long as you are aware of that. If you want to submit in R1, or if you want to leave yourself time to retake the GMAT i...

Hello, This is a tough question - it might be best to call the admissions office and ask them directly. You can always call anonymously if you're worried about any repercussions.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your profile. Being Indian in and of itself certainly does not hamper your chances -- that really only applies for people in overrepresented applicant pools (e.g., Indian Male IT professionals). Your scores are average+. I wouldn't worry about this side of the equation... of c...

Hello, Great question! "Extra curricular" covers a lot of different things -- it can include personal hobbies (running, tennis, blogging), etc., participating in/leading a non formal organization (e.g., coaching a soccer team locally, leading a running group, organizing a local festival), ...

Hi Lavanya, You have a pretty interesting profile. I feel like you might have a chance at these programs, especially if you could raise your GMAT score. Any possibility of a retake? The only other downside to your profile is that your background is IT, but given that you've gained a lot of leadershi...

Hi, This is a tough and very personal decision, unfortunately. It depends on what you're doing now, what the opportunities are for growth. And it depends whether you prefer to get an MIM or an MBA. It sounds like you have a lot of thinking to do! I wish I could be of more help, but this sounds like ...

Hi, To be competitive at ISB, you'd need to gain full time work experience, demonstrate leadership capacity, and score well on GMAT. Even then, it's unclear whether you could overcome your low GPA. You can also try creating an "alternate transcript" by taking some supplentary business cour...

Hi! Overall your profile looks great - the two negatives being: a) your low GPA and b) lack of strong extracurriculars post-college. It's great that you run your company's volunteer/philanthropic efforts and that you run in a cancer fundraising race each year, but it would be great if you had some c...

Hello there, Sorry to hear about your first application attempt. Don't lose faith! There are still many ways to achieve your dreams :) If you decide to reapply to these programs, you will need to make some pretty big improvements/changes to your profile. The GMAT would probably be one of the "e...

Hi! Glad that I could help you find programs! Yes, I think these are really great fits given your interests. I do believe that if you can improve your GMAT to the 650+ range, you may have a shot at these schools. Do you think that's possible? Best, Mili Mili Mittal Senior Consultant http://www.mbami...

Ah, I see. In that case, I might suggest that you use a recommender from your days in the finance industry - a previous direct supervisor. Are you still in touch with anyone in that capacity? Alternatively, are there any supervisors in your family business who are not actually related to you? Or do ...

Hello, Are you in college right now? If you could provide a little more context, that would be very helpful! If you're in college, you can use past internship managers as recommenders, or mentors or professors that you are particularly close to. And yes, doing an internship in the industry you're ta...
