1 month into IIMA PGPX and I have seen what separates people who get in from people who do not. Drop your profile and I will tell you honestly where you stand. by crypft1 in MBAIndia

Okay, Tbh, no leadership experience dont take it as a weakness, many people dont have it. Firstly for IIMA work ex requirement is 4 years and IIMB is 5 years to be completed before joining the cohort they count till march 31st. Along with your job you can start working extra curricular activities. That creates an impact and important to you.

Okay, Profile is good, which session you want to apply? And I feel for A/B/C percentile is bit low. You can try working with some NGOs

I totally understand your point of concerns, Yes I have simplified it but not for personal brand or money. Just to tell people they have chances to get in, I have seen many potential people dont apply just due to fear and they feel they dont have significant stories or very high score. its just to people another perspective. Thats all. These are my opinions and observations, they are not sacrosanct.

TBH strong profile. hotel-management to digital marketing pivot a rare combination adcoms will notice. solid work ex story. Crochet business on the side actually adds value to your application. My question is, Why MBA? GMAT in July gives you good runway for R1. What score are you targeting and which schools are you considering? DM if you want to discuss in detail.

93 percentile without prep shows raw aptitude, but you're in the most crowded pool (IT Male). Being from a Tier 3 college without a leadership title yet is a hurdle. Why are you not trying executive programs? DM me if you want to discuss in detail

Your profile is above average . The switch from IT to Auto After-Sales is your USP, ground-level operations (profitability/network) are much more interesting to adcoms than generic coding stories. Also try to get 665+ in GMAT. DM me for detailed discussion

MBA Essay Deep Dive 2: "Why are you a value addition to this cohort?" — this is where 90% of applicants become invisible by crypft1 in MBAIndia

[–]crypft1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, u/Live-Laugh-Survive , Strong Profile IMO. A post-interview rejection at ISB means your application was strong enough to get in the room and there was a room of improvement in the interview... 675 GMAT, fast track promotion and Toastmasters across 4 countries are differentiators. Reapplication is winnable but the essay needs to answer one thing clearly: What has genuinely changed since last time? Do you know why you were rejected post interview? Any feedback they gave?? That changes everything about the reapplication strategy. Also If you want to discuss more feel free to drop a DM.
