I have not yet taken the GMAT. Scheduled in mid March,2015.
I aim for INSEAD, SAD Bocconi, HEC Paris, IE Business schools.
Could you please evaluate my profile and let me know what is the minimum score expected in GMAT that would ensure my acceptance to these Bschools?
Hey there!
Thanks for writing. So first of all, I should say there is no real "minimum". You should really see your profile as an organic and dynamic thing. Yes, of course GMAT is important, but everything comes together to build the picture of a person. For top schools you will want to come back with a 700+, but even that is not set in stone.
What's more important is who you are and what you have done. So far, I still wonder what exactly you do at work, what leadership and teamwork experience you have. What else you have done to develop yourself as a person and professional.
This will all count just as much as the GMAT,
Best,
