Question

Divakshi Arora · Accepted Answer

With 1.5 years in consulting, a 690 GMAT, and an 8.1 CGPA, your chances for Nova SBE MiM are very strong. Nova targets applicants with 0&ndash;2 years of experience, and your consulting background already fits their ideal profile. A 690 GMAT is above what most applicants submit, so it removes any doubt about academic readiness.
The only thing that really matters now is showing why you want Nova and how the MiM fits into your plans, because the school pays attention to motivation. Your numbers and experience already put you in the higher end of the pool, so the application is more about presentation than meeting requirements.

Your profile matches exactly what Nova usually admits.

1.5 years in consulting is already above the average, since most applicants have only internships.
A 690 GMAT places you safely above the mid-600s range many successful applicants fall into.
An 8.1 CGPA shows consistent academics, which Nova values a lot.
The experience + score combo gives you enough strength to compete even for tracks like CEMS or double degrees.

Unless the essays are weak or the goals don&rsquo;t make sense, this is the kind of profile that normally receives an interview invite without much trouble.
