Did you ask them or they emailed you?
It's really confusing when high GMAT scorers like you got rejected. I wonder, what is the basis of their decision?

Got the communication on mail and have requested them for a feedback.
Not sure where I screwed up but had that school as the preferred one for a long time.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I just read your thread and I hope you will get accepted soon.

1st deadline is on 12th April. You can apply before that. If not, then you may also apply by June which is the second round deadline.
I'm planning to do the same.

I have the same question. I did give GMAT before and got a mere 650 . Not sure if it's enough or should I go for it again. What other schools are you targetting?

For now - IE , Rotterdam Business School & ESMT Berlin. As they have Jan intake and I am already late for Fall intake. But everything majorly depends on my GMAT score.

Hi there,
Can you please let me know, whether my profile fits for Rotterdam or whether i have any chances to place my bets.
GMAT Score: 540(cancelled), 680(cancelled), 690, 700 (IR 7 AWA 6) (this last score was given on July 2017)
Graduated from Top 10 colleges from India with CGPA: 6.59/10.
2 years 10 months as software developer in a product company.
10 months (as of April 2018) as a Consultant in Advisory (Technology) in PwC.
5 months GAP between employment (Wrote GMAT + applied to b-schools in India during that time, and got selected in both b-schools but rejected them to go for Consultant position)
Extracurricular activities: I have a fondness for out-door and indoor games, I learnt Play badminton, T.T, Tennis, and football, after my graduation.
Flexibility: I have experience in wide range of software architectures that range from java, .NET, SQL, to Dynamics AX. Moreover, I have worked in two distinct sectors - building Marketing websites (product company), Handling Retail operations for India's one of the biggest apparel retail industry.

Through my research, I found that Rotterdam is the best school that inclines with My interests and post-MBA goals.

Can you guide me, if it will be fine if I were to learn new foreign languages, to attempt GMAT again, or concentrate on my essays?
Please note that I wrote GMAT on July 2017.

Thank you
Best Regards
a common Indian MBA-Aspirant.

Hey,

I found your profile quite interesting. I guess it would be a good fit for RSM except the work-ex part. Your work exp is on the lower side, but I hope your GMAT score and working in PwC can compensate for that.

Regarding GMAT score, scores are valid till 5 years. So, no issues in that. Give it a shot.

All the best,
Ankit Kaushik

Thanks a lot for your valuable opinion. I will start preparing for essays for Erasmus, while simultaneously preparing for GMAT exam (Since I already paid for it). Thanks for boosting my morale.

Your profile is good but you need to know that you come form over presented population with typical profile (IT male Indian), which will will put some burden on you. You experience is somehow low. You GMAT is great but maybe needs to enhance for competition issues in parallel to focusing on showcase your essays.

Do not pay any attention now for learning any new language (Dutch or German if you mean) for 2 reasons:

1- Netherlands is friendly country with English speaking. I have many friends who deals with English till now.

2- If you wish to learn Dutch, there is many institution there can teach you for free or with low fees.

So no rush now for Dutch

I hope it helps.
