Hello madhur0899

With the tight competition for MBA admissions globally, sometimes just scoring great on the GMAT?GRE tests is not enough. Especially, the top B-schools mentioned above have thousands of aspirants.
Building a top B-school-worthy application takes time, effort, planning, and skill. It might seem like a daunting task however, if you have a clear strategy and expert help, it is not that difficult too.

Starting a new business and community service will certainly add more weight to your chances for any program across the globe, but it will not be sufficient to make a strong profile to showcase your skills. They tend to incline towards candidates with a good and consistent academic record. However, you don’t need to stress too much over the academic track record if yours is not that great. You can always compensate for it with an exceptional GMAT/GRE score or other career/personal achievements.

You need to keep your professional achievements, success stories, and lessons handy, as you definitely will have to recite some of these stories either in your essays or interviews. You need to have clear long term and short term career goals. You would have to explain how an MBA would help you achieve these goals and how an MBA at this point will help your career.

What can you do:

You need to :
Note down all the points you want to express.
Prioritize them in order of importance and relevance.
Write the essay with a natural flow and flare.
Proofread and review multiple times.

How you build your application can make or break your chances of getting a seat in your dream B-school.

All the best for your applications!­

Hey madhur0899,

That's fantastic you're setting your sights on an MBA! With 1.8 years as a Data Engineer at Epam, you're off to a strong start. Two years is a great runway to build a profile that shines for INSEAD, ISB, and Kellogg.

Your strengths are clear: Epam is a top company, and data engineering is a hot field. Plus, your volunteer work with the Clean India Environment Group and supporting those with anxiety/depression is truly commendable. These experiences showcase leadership, social responsibility, and a well-rounded character – all qualities these programs value highly.

Track the results of your volunteer work. Did you organize a successful clean-up drive with measurable impact? Did your support system demonstrably improve the lives of others? Quantifying your achievements shows initiative and impact.

While starting a business can be exciting, consider focusing on solidifying your core skills and refining your business idea further before diving in full-time. An MBA can equip you with the tools and network to launch later on.

This is just a glimpse into the possibilities! To get a truly personalized plan and understand how to position yourself for these top programs best, consider scheduling a free 1:1 call with alums and currents students of top B-schools.
