Firstly, congratulations on your stellar undergraduate performance. To get a 4.0 GPA from the University of Mumbai in any discipline is a major achievement. I’m curious about your GRE waiver through your CFA for LBS though? It’s not something I’m aware of for the MBA programme, although it does happen very occasionally for the MiF. You might want to think about taking the GMAT/GRE unless you’ve already agreed this with the school, in which case, fantastic. Clearly you have some strong public speaking skills, your career goals are in alignment with your experience, and it looks like you’ve spent time in the US which is good, as LBS will be wanting to see evidence of your international outlook and profile, especially given that you are …

To be honest, I’d like to see more in your extra-curriculars to really lift you out of the crowd. Make sure you’ve done as much outreach as possible and to maximise your chances I do encourage you to apply early – you should target R2 latest as R1 is coming up rapidly on September 9th. I still think you may find it tough so would suggest some back up schools, but good luck!
