Hi everyone,
I’m an Indian Computer Engineering student (Tier 2) with an 3.3/4.0 GPA, and a 675 GMAT Focus score. I’m keen on pursuing an MiM in Europe and would appreciate an honest profile evaluation.
I have around one year of experience as a software developer through internships, including six months at a fintech company. I have also taken on leadership responsibilities, including managing and mentoring a group of junior interns.
I’m also involved in an early-stage logistics and ERP startup with a few former colleagues.
My target schools are LBS, HEC Paris, INSEAD, Bocconi, ESSEC, ESCP,
I am really banking on myself to do an MiM from these Universities and getting so stressed out, if its realistic.
Any feedback would be appreciated🙏🏻

No sugar-coating—just the facts.
You're from an overrepresented applicant pool (Indian engineering male), so the competition is significantly tougher.
Look at the class profiles of your target schools, especially the median/average GMAT score and the typical amount of full-time work experience.
Many top MiM programs do not count internships as full-time work experience, so don't assume your internship experience will be viewed the same way.
A profile with a 675+ GMAT Focus score and around 2 years of full-time experience would generally be much more competitive for schools like LBS, HEC Paris, INSEAD, ESSEC, ESCP, and Bocconi.
Also, don't fall for the marketing claims of admissions consultants who tell everyone they have a "great chance." If you decide to use a consultant, choose one with a proven track record and recommendations from seniors or alumni you trust.
That said, if your goal is these schools, you're not necessarily out of the race—but you should apply with realistic expectations and strengthen your profile as much as possible before applying.

Thank you for the honest response.
As i cannot change my GMAT score or my GPA right now, what would u recommend for me to strengthen my profile?
For now, my internship experience has gone well beyond just software development. I’ve managed a team of four interns end-to-end, including assigning work, running regular meetings, reviewing performance and reporting progress directly to leadership. In another internship, I worked closely with the CTO, Founder’s Office and strategy team, reduced backend latency by 54%, built and delivered an end-to-end AI call-analysis system integrated with the company’s ERP, and automated multiple sales and marketing workflows.
Anything else that I can do to strengthen my profile?
