Hey K0102,

Vashi here from LilacBuds.

You have a well balanced profile. GPA is average for the schools you are targeting but good GRE score will boost your chances.
You need to make sure that your application essays reflect your strong professional experience. Your need to play to your strengths. Do make sure that your post-MBA goals are clearly depicted in your application essays and how each specific school will be critical in helping you achieve the same.
Also consider reaching out to alums/ current students of these schools to know more about these programs.
You also need to make sure that your application essays reflect your strong professional experience and take into consideration your leadership skills. Do make sure that your post-MBA goals are clearly depicted in your application essays and how each specific school will be critical in helping you achieve the same.

We at LilacBuds would love to assist you by connecting you to alums/ mentors of top B-schools and would therefore request more details about your profile.

Hi @K0102 , I hope you are doing well!

Your profile demonstrates strong work experience in the energy sector, with 6 years of progressively responsible roles, including leadership in procurement and maintenance planning, which highlight your technical expertise and versatility. Your volunteering efforts as a global ambassador for women in engineering and a crisis counselor add depth and showcase your leadership and empathy. However, your current GRE score of 311 is below the average for top programs, targeting 325-330 will significantly enhance your competitiveness. To strengthen your application further, emphasize measurable achievements, leadership in your roles, and the impact of your extracurricular activities. Programs like Kellogg, Darden, Oxford Saïd, HEC Paris, and McCombs may align well with your career goal of transitioning into supply chain within the energy sector. A compelling narrative in your essays and strong recommendations will boost your candidacy for top schools in the U.S., U.K., and France. You can take a look at this BLOG.

Get that target score and then you will have a good profile. School selection is as much a science as an art. You need to triangluate multiple variables to shortlist your schools - it cannot and should not be based on brand name. I would ask you: Why Kellogg and Darden apear in your list, and not WU Olin? And there are more questions, which if ignored, could result in wrong selection that would mean wasted efforts.
