Hey guys,
So I'm sure this is a strange question but I would love the insight from people who know these schools / application processes well.
In a large nutshell: I am a 22 year old USA, Swiss and Portuguese citizen. I speak english, french and portuguese natively (?) and italian and german at B2 levels. I did my undergrad in a **** French college (universite Lyon 2 Lumiere) but spent my senior year at Wharton business school (not an easy program to get into). I've had internships in the states as well as in switzerland with start ups mostly (2 to be exact). I was a pro freestyle skier until I got to college, did a couple entrepreneur competitions (college stuff), tried starting a company and failed pretty bad, founded my university's Finance and management association, I coach skiing and basketball and have done charity work with inner city children who cannot integrate school properly. My GPA is around 3.4 (I was always a lazy student unfortunately) but was an Econ and management / English double major. Oh also working on the GMAT (due date in 10 days) and the calculator on this website seems to guesstimate me at 700 - 730.
Sorry that was so long but whatever, already typed it. So my question: which school should I apply to (and with which nationality)? For example: if I apply to HEC as a french person, my chances are way slimmer since they already have so many french applicants.
My prospective schools/programs:
MIMs: Rotterdam, HEC, Essec, Bocconi, IE, ESADE, (safety schools:) HEC Lausanne, EM Lyon, UBC
MIFs: MIT (I've heard work experience might be an issue), LSE, Boston College.
Swiss applicant for the US seems smart. But for Europe should I apply as a US citizen or not? Really stumped here and I don't have 1000+ $ to blow on admissions so any guidance here would be great!
Thanks guys, sorry for the lengthy post

You would want to apply for the most underrepresented nationality for that school. This will likely change from one European school to another.

Hi adobis,
Until you have an Official GMAT score, it's not clear what any of your 'chances' would be at any of the Schools that you've listed. Since you're ultimately asking Admissions questions, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
