Hi,

I've just taken the GMAT and scored 640 (Q49 V29). This is definitely a poor score. However, I strongly believe that the GMAT is only a part of the application, so I do not intend to retake the GMAT.

I'm interested in the following schools:

Insead: As Insead is very GMAT-Oriented, I assume with 640, it is beyond reach. Therefore I will not apply and save my time and their time.

LBS. (My favorite school)
IMD.
HEC
Oxbridge
Cranfield
How would you assess my chances? Here is my profile:

Nationality:
Moroccan / African: African students are a minority in almost all MBA programs (US and EU).
I hold also the German Citizenship

Education :
Engineering Diploma in Energy from a German Engineering school (Duration= 5 years) GPA 3,8
Master Degree in Renewable Energy from a German University (Duration= 2 years) - GPA 4,0
Practical Industry experience during my study time:
3 Months at Teleplan in Germany = Internship
1 year Full Time at Siemens in Germany = Internship and Thesis
6 Months Full Time at Coherent in Germany = Internship
5 Months Part Time as a technical assistant within the University.


Work Experience:
6 years. by the programm start
Company: Siemens (Germany)
3 years as a Project Manager (Energy Industry)
1,5 year as Project Engineer (Solar Industry)
1,5 years as a Senior Project Manager (Energy Industry)
´

Many Thanks in advance.

Hi,

many thanks for your reply.

I made up my mind, I'm going to retake the GMAT.

What score is needed in order to be seriously considered by INSEAD?

What are the other schools that I should apply to (both US EU)?

Thanks in advance.
