Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 40%

Hi Mr. Just and Right, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Your profile looks solid for NUS, a bit more of a challenge for Kellogg and INSEAD based on your GMAT score. But this is only one part of the application. Where I see your opportunity is to spend time honing in on your goals. Admissions committees are expecting you to have thought through your career path pre-MBA. This is because a part of their process is to assess whether your path is feasible and if their program can get you there. While you will have lots of time to explore different opportunities in a b school program – you need to have a plan when you enter – or those 2 years will fly by …

Hi Mr. Just and Right, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Your profile looks solid for NUS, a bit more of a challenge for Kellogg and INSEAD based on your GMAT score. But this is only one part of the application. Where I see your opportunity is to spend time honing in on your goals. Admissions committees are expecting you to have thought through your career path pre-MBA. This is because a part of their process is to assess whether your path is feasible and if their program can get you there. While you will have lots of time to explore different opportunities in a b school program – you need to have a plan when you enter – or those 2 years will fly by and you may not have gotten everything you need out of it. So I would suggest spending time to dig deeper into why consulting or PM? What type of problems do you like to solve? What aspirationally would you like to accomplish long term – and how does either consulting or PM help you along that path. With the limited information here – your goals feel very vague. Spend some time doing introspection and tightening up your short and long term plan. Even with all the right stats – an ambiguous short and long term plan can derail an application. This is equally important across all your target schools. My odds here are based on NUS. Best of luck!
