Rituraj- while your profile is going to appear pretty average for your applicant pool, you definitely have all the core elements for a run at a good business school. Which school kind of depends on where you want to work after you graduate. If it's back in India, you could do fine with a one year pr...

Connecting your past to your future is important and demonstrating passion and genuine interest in an area is often the key to success. No better way to do that than to showcase the work you...


Ayushman- You have a good profile, but clearly one that is not all that uncommon in your applicant pool.
