That is a great tactic and something I strongly follow - not only is it a great "deal" there is common learning in the group as well; just like group studying :)

Hi, having read through your profile, you stand a good chance to get into most of top 15-30 schools. I also think your desire post MBA is consistent with your background and hence, makes for simpler transition in your essays. However, my 2 cents - your essays have to be really stellar - drawing deep...

Hi, Absolutely. I would say that you should explain not only the low GMAT Quant score but also anything that you would want the admissions committee to know of, which did not necessarily come out in your application. In order to make the additional essay not look too much of a laundry list, you coul...


Hi, Hope you are well. Selecting the right recommender could be the difference in your application. What the admission committee is looking for, are generally consistency in your story and "filling the blanks", particularly when it comes to understanding whether your understanding of your ...

Hi,
Why don't you shoot me the application essay (to my email below) and where you are up to?
I can provide the guidelines as to how to approach the essay - in terms of structure and content?

Hey, In addition to the above, I think you might also want to have another think about how an MBA would help you move from Associate Consultant role to Credit Risk Management/Analytics as the skills are quite transferable and you might try moving to a larger global organisation and try making a para...

Hi, Absolutely you do - however, there is so much more that goes into deciding whether you need an MBA, from where, why and what do you do after your MBA as well as so many things go into selecting students for a cohort. I would rather start with the following approach (something I have used with my...

Happy new year! I totally agree with you. Professional examples and success are very very important but working through struggles and overcoming them demonstrate leadership aspects that you are expected to encounter in your day to day work in a stressful work environment and this trait is very attra...

Hi, Getting into Round 3 is definitely more challenging as most of the seats for the year are filled and also the admissions committee feels that your planning was not ideal for them. The most important marks are your undergrad scores - the others matter but not as much (maybe 20%). All of these sch...

Hi, I would not worry too much about your age being against you - 33 is pushing it a bit but there is so much more you can bring to the class (particularly given your current background in consulting) that other "younger" members of the cohort will not be able to bring in. It is also true,...

Hi, Congrats on your admit. These are both good schools. However, a lot depends on where and what you would like to do post MBA. I have students in both these schools in very recent times and their feedback is very similar. Based on your desire, I would suggest HKU, assuming finances are not that bi...

Hi PiaT, Doing a second MBA is not out of the question - it depends on your reasons for pursuing a second MBA. Good reasons for pursuing second MBA are career path change, unprepared for first MBA, updation needed on knowledge and skills, changes in working environment which means you need more expo...

Hi hmgp22, Great question. I don't think there is any great or bad consultant - it is good or bad experience for you and this includes value add and cost. It depends on case by case. As an example, if I have 760 and great acads and want to study in top 30 schools in US (Funding is more important tha...

Hi Gmatdreamer1, I think if you are able to highlight your leadership skills through the Not For Profit (which is relatively easier to demonstrate), accountabilitity and scale of impact within your work place and reasons for doing an MBA might just do the trick - significant thinking on those lines,...
