I got 680 on the GMAT classic though I’m retaking the focus edition in a few weeks.
I’m aiming for top schools which have 1 yr mba programs, including INSEAD, HEC, IMD, and more. Since I am late to sep 2024 intake, I’d like to apply for Jan 2025 intake. Happy to get more recommendations.
I have 6 yrs of experience in tech product management and marketing. I intend to continue working in tech products.
Happy to receive advice.
Thanks
1. How has your professional arc been i.e. have you worked for big brands, been promoted, etc.?
2. Is your MBA motivation primarily to shift geographies, or are you looking to shift function/ sector/ brand?
3. Any ExtraCurriculars worth highlighting?
The current GMAT score is a bit on the lower side though, particularly for INSEAD: planning a retake is good.

I have mostly worked with startups but yes, promoted within startups. I transitioned from a software engineering role to product management.
I want to pursue mba because I want to learn more about leadership and move to senior management roles or work in global firms.
I have some extracurricular such as a blog on personal development and a youtube channel with a handful of videos.
I’m aiming a good score in focus edition.
Would suggest having a strong narrative highlighting the skillsets you've gained thro' your roles, why/ how MBA can help fill in the gaps, and your post MBA goals i.e. target sector/ function/ geography and also companies (ideally ones that recruit from your target schools).
All the best for your GMAT Focus! Feel free to reach out if you'd need support on your applications.
