Notes:

I have a strong GRE score with 168 in quant and 164 in verbal so I'm hoping this would cover my undergrad GPA of 3.0. I'm a failed entrepreneur. I worked in fmcg sales, a tech startup sales and now at a logistics company. For post mba want to pursue a senior sales role at an fmcg or tech startup

As a “failed entrepreneur” it will be interesting, for adcom, to hear how you’ve learn from the experiences, how you’ve grown as a result. Assume you have other professional experiences, growth and impact will be key. Are you involved in activities outside of work? (1)

My busines failed due to Covid as i was importing from China and all supplies halted . As for activities outside of work, I am a board member for a non-profit school in my village founded by my father. (1)

ukmalik Likes Earned: 4 My entrepreneurial venture was before my previous job so i have been in two professional roles after that and i am currently working as Manager Growth and Performance in a local logistics company. I think you're right with regards to last round chances but in the worst case scenario in which i don't get admitted, i would at least learn from the experience and it would help me in the next year's first round. Plus thanks for replying to my entries. i appreciate your valuable insights (1)
