I am an engineer in the India office of a US semiconductor firm. I have primarily been a ‘tech’ guy and so tried to gain some finance and investment exposure and hence started the CFA journey (passed level I but deferred thrice for level II due to covid). GMAT went as expected 51Q/34V/8IR/5AWA given I am the stereotypical ‘quant’ guy š

Hi Mr. All Quant No Verbal, You know your strengths! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I see that your Quant is definitely a big strength for you. Nothing wrong with that! Business school academics are quantitatively rigorous. That said, I also like that you have interesting, “non-Quant” extracurriculars, such as organizing your college cultural festival and participating in football. I think the key to differentiating yourself is to highlight some of these personal interests and explaining why you chose them and how they shape / influence you as a team player and leader. Ultimately, whilst your academic and professional track records are strong, business schools are looking for leaders. Consider using different stories (not just work ones) to showcase different sides of who you are …
