Hi Mr. Common Indian,
Thanks for posting your profile. This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. In my 8 years of working with candidates, I don’t see many with your fast-rising career trajectory – congrats on your promotions over the last few years! Although you work in a “traditional” industry for b-school (finance), your functional focus is not very common. Your perspectives on Risk Management would be a unique addition to the classroom discussions. Be sure to explain in your applications how you can contribute this – and it should help you stand out from the crowd. I also like that you are a community leader helping at an NGO, and speaking at Financial Literacy Camps. In your applications, you would also want to explain …

Although you work in a “traditional” industry for b-school (finance), your functional focus is not very common.

Be sure to explain in your applications how you can contribute this – and it should help you stand out from the crowd. I also like that you are a community leader helping at an NGO, and speaking at Financial Literacy Camps. In your applications, you would also want to explain why an MBA makes sense for you, and how it will help you achieve your future career goals. If you execute this well, and highlight your unique work background, I think you will do well at INSEAD. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey.

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 30%

Hi Mr. Common Indian, this is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions and I think it is not so common to have all the great promotions you have! Try not to focus on what you can’t control—where you were born—and instead focus on what you have done to have impact in your community and at work. For INSEAD explain your global experience and interests fully. You look to have some great extracurriculars. Be thoughtful in describing your reasons for the MBA and also describing your big accomplishments! Best wishes
