Hi,

I am a female from a Top 30 US school with business major, gmat 680, gre 326, and MBB offer. I am thinking of applying to M7 deferred mba programs, but I fear that my chance might be low at the most competitive schools given the gmat score I currently have. Given that I need to submit the application in a little more than one months, which and how many schools do you think I should apply to?

Thank you very much!

ellenckh hi
Shimri from ARINGO here
326 GRE and MBB offer sounds great! (ignore the GMAT...)
I do need to know more about you, but from what I can see, you can and should apply to as many deferred programs as possible, what do you have to lose?

Hello.
I am male from Nepal. I have a GMAT score of 680. I graduated from one of the best (always No 1 in national ranking) business schools with honors degree and 3.74 GPA. I had started an entrepreneurial venture while I was in final year at college and have been running the same since then. I have been working as a CFO and Executive Director. The startup caters to agro and retail industry and have been employing 25 staffs.

For ECAs, I was coordinator of 2 clubs, 1 each in second and third year of my college. I also was elected as the president of Student Welfare Council in my final year. Besides, I conducted the national college festival as the chief coordinator.

For Social

For Social Service, I have contributed in Leo Clubs for 5 years. I left after I was the Club President in 2017. I have been providing entrepreneurship and product marketing trainings to females in different places of Nepal by partnering with United Nations Development Programs.

Hi Ronilsh,
Thanks for sharing your profile and MBA aspirations.

My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. You have a very interesting profile! From what I can see:

Academics – strong GPA. Graduating from the top-ranked institute in your country is an added advantage. We would love to know your class percentile too.

GMAT - Well, 680 is a fine score. Since there is still time in Fall 2024 applications, if you think you can cross that barrier of 700- try taking the exam again.

*Work Experience –You have a good and unique experience! We would like to know your total years of experience with your start-up. We suggest preparing an impactful resume quantifying the results, leadership skills, how big the venture is, etc. Highlight international exposure, if any- schools love that 😊. Also, your story should talk about your passion for your business and your plans for it.
*Extracurricular activities/Volunteer Work – Mention more about your hobbies. Strong volunteering work adds more value to your profile.
*Your career goals – We would love to know more about your long-term and short-term goals, need for doing an MBA, etc.

All in all sounds like you have a good profile! If you send me your CV and other info on PRIYANKAK@ARINGO.com, I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.

All the best.

Hey all,

My name is Rishav, and I am an MBA aspirant from INDIA. I would love to know the expert's opinion about my admission chances in the top 25 US colleges. Kindly read on to know about my academic and professional journey till now.

3rd Attempt - 690 (Q49 V34 IR3 AWA4)

Professional background:
Total Experience - 54 Months (June 2018 to Dec 2022) (Since Jan 2023, I have been on study break, preparing for my 3rd attempt)
I spent 15 months in my 1st company i.e. Bennett Coleman & Company Ltd (The Times Group). It is India's largest newspaper company. I was part of maintenance team initially and then was shifted to the Corporate team.
I spent the next 12 month in my 2nd company i.e. Blackbuck (a unicorn startup in logistics industry) as a Business Analyst. I worked closely with the business team and supported the team on the analytics front.
I spent the remaining months in my 3rd company i.e. Zoomcar (a well known startup in car rental industry) as a Product Analyst and later, got promoted to Senior Product Analyst. I worked closely with the Product team. For a brief period, I even functioned as a temporary Product Manager of Payments.

In short, my experience majorly has been in manufacturing domain (newspaper printing), analytics domain (dashboards, insights, sql, excel) and product management domain

On a side note, I along with 3 friends, started a small eatery as a startup during covid. However, due to mounting losses, we had to close it.

MBA Plan - MBA in general management

Future plan post MBA: I want to make a switch to consulting domain. I am fascinated with the knowledge consultants possess as they get to work with various clients from different industries.

Target Schools - Top 25 colleges, which have high %age placement in consulting domain, in the US

Thank you so much in advance
