The Problem

Coming from a Tier-2 college in India, Sahil feared that his academic background might not hold enough weight when competing with applicants from more prestigious institutions. He was unsure how his profile would stand out in the rigorous admission process of top global B-schools.

Our Strategy

For Sahil, the key was to highlight his knack for making improvements and starting initiatives, even with limited resources. We decided to show how he could do much more with the resources of a top MBA program like Columbia's. We focused on his achievements in improving processes at work and his community service efforts, tying these to his goal of starting an operations consulting firm.

How we Implemented our Strategy

  • We delved into Sahil’s career where he quickly rose to a managerial position within four years. He led a team of 10 to enhance project efficiency by 25%, which in turn saved the company ₹30 lakhs annually. We meticulously detailed these accomplishments to project a strong professional trajectory.
  • Highlighted his initiative of founding a community service club in his college, which collected and distributed 5000+ books to underprivileged children over two years. Post-graduation, his involvement in a local environmental NGO led to a city-wide recycling awareness campaign reaching 10,000+ residents.
  • We crafted a narrative that tied his desire for operational excellence and social impact with Columbia's MBA program. His aim to leverage Columbia’s strong alumni network and industry-oriented curriculum was brought to the forefront, showing a clear path towards achieving his long-term goal of starting an operations consulting firm focused on sustainable practices.
  • With these structured and quantified implementations of our strategy, his profile transcended the perceived limitations of his academic background. His story resonated well with the admissions committee, leading to an admission offer from Columbia Business School.

Result: Glowing admit into Columbia Business School.
