I am an entrepreneur, someone I wanted to be since the age of 17. I started 2 websites in undergrad that failed and then I launched my 3rd startup in 4th year which is a SaaS platform for a highly unorganized sector. I bootstrapped it to a $150k seed investment, went bankrupt, pivoted, bootstrapped again and sold it for $10mil.

Application Status: Open
Undergrad School: Not a very known college
Undergrad Major: Electrical Engineering
GPA: 3.0
GMAT: 650+
Age: 28, Ethnicity: Asian or Indian
Extracurriculars:
Title: Founder and CEO
Industry: Technology
Company: Start-Up
Length of Employment: 6 yrs
– Forbes Asia 30u30; Leaders of tomorrow. – Won the most disruptive business award. – Awarded a trophy by a reputed organization in India for my contribution towards the unorganized sector. – Scaled a business to profitability after multiple failed attempts. – Convinced the CEO of a large international company to buy my company.
I strongly believe that the lack of right strategies, team management skills, negotiations skills, and my inability to think like a leader has led to multiple failures as a startup founder. I aim to surround myself with highly skilled people in an MBA, improve my skills, learn to think like a CEO of a large organization and start up again.

Hi Mr. Just Sold My Startup, Congratulations on selling your startup! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. It sounds like you’ve had quite a journey as an entrepreneur. Kudos too on your awards and recognition. Booth is looking for strengths in three areas – academic track record (GPA, GMAT score), professional trajectory and achievements, and extracurriculars (community leadership, personal interests). While I think your professional track record is very strong, your GPA and GMAT score could be a concern. With Booth’s average GMAT being around 720, I recommend that you retake the GMAT to get closer to that number. A higher score could even offset AdCom’s potential concern about your academic capabilities. In addition, now that you have sold your company, hopefully you have a bit …
Hi Mr. Just Sold My Startup, Congratulations on selling your startup! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. It sounds like you’ve had quite a journey as an entrepreneur. Kudos too on your awards and recognition. Booth is looking for strengths in three areas – academic track record (GPA, GMAT score), professional trajectory and achievements, and extracurriculars (community leadership, personal interests). While I think your professional track record is very strong, your GPA and GMAT score could be a concern. With Booth’s average GMAT being around 720, I recommend that you retake the GMAT to get closer to that number. A higher score could even offset AdCom’s potential concern about your academic capabilities. In addition, now that you have sold your company, hopefully you have a bit more free time on your hands – do get more involved with your community or personal interests. AdCom wants to see you demonstrate leadership at work as well as outside work. My estimate of your odds are based on the 650+ GMAT listed here but if you increase your GMAT score, your chances will also improve. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
