Hi Admission Experts,
I'm about to prepare for the GMAT, and will be writing applications this spring, and are curious about what I can expect. This will serve to align my expectations, and possibly motivate me to do even better on the GMAT. My details, at time of application (in 1 year):
Demographic: 28, Scandinavian, Male
GMAT Score: est. 660-700
Education:
BSc in Maritime Administration (2018) 3.47/4.0
MSc in Finance and Accounting: (2020) 2.85/4.0
Work-Ex:
Currently working as Senior Consultant/Senior Associate (Financial Crime/Forensics) at PwC (2020 - Present: 1 year, will have 3 years of experience before joining Business School). Very high performer, and was promoted from Associate to Senior Associate in one year, where the normal is 2-3 years.
Worked part time at Maersk Line, for two years (2017-2019)
Interned at Maersk Line, PMO/M&A (For 8 months in 2017/18)
Worked part time at Nordea (major Scandinavian bank) (for 4 months 2016)
Worked part time as a bookkeeper at a small firm (for 8 months 2016)
I focused more at gaining work experience, than improving my GPA, since this was crucial in landing a fulltime job after graduation.
Extracurricular:
Board member of Mensa (Country chapter)
Semester exchange to WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management (2019)
Semester exchange to Texas A&M (2017)
Languages:
English (Fluent), Danish (Native)
Role after MBA:
Consulting / Business Development / Operations
Aiming for the following colleges:
INSEAD
London Business School
HEC Paris
Judge Business School
Saïd Business School
Columbia
Questions
1. What should my GMAT score ideally be to begin my application?
2. By how much should my GMAT improve, to have a chance?
3. Please suggest colleges for Dream, Target and Achievable.
4. Is it even possible, with the low GPA?
