  • GMAT-740
  • Internship at one of the top 3 consulting firms for a month(Will try for more)

Hi Arjun25,

To start, you're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it useful to reach out directly to some Admissions Experts. From your post history, you appear to have already done that - which is good.

In the rest of your post, you refer to a projected GPA and a GMAT Score of 740. Have you already taken the Official GMAT and actually scored 740 or is that Score your goal/"plan"? If you have taken the GMAT, then what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

It’s hard to say that without doing a deep dive on your profile. Perhaps start with a quick profile evaluation and see what your chances are in the various schools and what would be great schools for you to pursue.

After a rigorous college shortlisting, you should focus on college essays, resume and recommendation letters. There are plenty of things you can do to improve your candidacy - start focusing on leadership, awareness of business thinking, collaboration, understanding your goals and building a story around why MBA, why now and why this school

If you are keen to do a free profile evaluation, ping me...
