2. If you are working in an analytical area, then that should be good. Get a good GMAT as well. With regards to certifications, pursue whatever is useful to you in your line of work. If this is solely for the purpose of strengthening your academic profile, and you have no need for additional certifications in your work, then just get a CFA level 1 or something

3. GMAT is very important

sk2020 has a great profile. low GMAT. That would be the only bottleneck.

1. Both are great schools - my sense is getting into these schools will be a little difficult with a. 700, though you may certainly apply. I would recommend that you make the choice once the results are on the table. If you want to make a choice beforehand - Darden is better known for consulting

2. American schools give better scholarships

3. your shortlist includes safes as well - Manchester, Smith.

4. Oxford may be slightly easier to get into than Cambridge.

replying to Sainikhil: good profile. I think you can get another year’s experience at McKinsey and then apply next year for the session starting 2023. Mck will give you some exposure. but to get into core consulting, an MBA will help

Thank you Sajjad... perhaps I can post a few links to our online presence?
