    Hi Artistic Engineer, this is Deepak Punwani from MBA Exchange. Lots to like in the profile you have shared. Your academic scores are excellent. Both Jadavpur University and XLRI are top 10 in their respective domains. Your determination to do well academically really comes through.

    Hi Ms. Artistic Engineer, what a great combination you have! This is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions and I am happy to provide some insight on your profile. I like your grades, your GMAT and your product management experience already. Be prepared to make the case for why you need this additional training in your MBA when you did the PGDM course already. You can get through this but you should address it in your application. For GSB, I want you to think big and mine your life for stories that can help you explain what matters most to you. This program is tough for anyone—let alone an international student applying one year after covid where as much as half of the spots for internationals …
