Your undergraduate degree from Stanford, your superb GPA of 3.76, your 700 GMAT and your record of accomplishment, including a promotion, as a consultant tell me you are more than qualified to knock it out of the park at the school.

mbaMission Odds Assessment: 60%

Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission! You’ve got such a well-rounded and international profile, with strong career progression in consulting, solid academics, and community impact with Stanford Consulting Bases. With that and your fluency in multiple languages, I think you’ll be an excellent fit for INSEAD.

Your GMAT falls right within INSEAD’s range of 670-750, but I’m wondering if a higher score (if you feel like you can achieve it without an inordinate amount of effort) might increase your scholarship chances. But with a well-executed application that communicates your professional and personal impact clearly, explains the motivation behind your career goals in healthcare, and offers recommendations that attest to your strong performance, potential, and growth vs. peers, you’ll be a great candidate …

Ms. Cultural Consultant – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

There is a lot that INSEAD will love about your profile – multi-lingual, consulting background, solid stats from a top UG program. You check all of the boxes and your goals in healthcare consulting are aligned with where INSEAD can help you place.

To get to 100% chance of acceptance, I would love to hear the personal story that drives the interest in healthcare. Perhaps it has to do with observing healthcare systems across the different countries you have ties to and recognizing that best practices should be shared and built on.

Feel free to reach out for a profile evaluation. Wishing you all the best on your MBA application journey!
