Both of them are in my targets schools, I just wanted your advice about the chances I got there
Hey ! To be honest I cannot evaluate the correct chances of you getting in as it is a subjective to how you present your profile.You can drop a mail at the LBS MFA website where they have an option to check and ask whether you are eligible and fit for the program

Quote:

But apprenticeships are available in limited schools, right? As of now, I have heard it for ESSEC. Which other schools offer it?
ESSEC , EDHEC , ESCP has it and HEC has a gap year.

All of these have gap years as well?
Depends on the course curriculum you follow..most of the schools have flexible program so you can do gap years as well

Is GRE a good test compared to GMAT ? I just had 331 with 161V and 170Q and don’t know what to think about it regarding application at top MiF (LSE, LBS, Oxbridge etc)
If the schools accept both the scores from GMAT/GRE then there is no preference order...try to check as per the latest percentile converter from GMAC where GRE score stands with the GMAT Focus

Do you have any recommendations on a particular converter ? There are a lot that gives different conversions
I don’t have any specific recommendations as GMAC doesn’t have an official one..but you can choose between the top 3-4 of the search results..and get an average..having said that any score above 321 GRE is decent as far as I have seen in the applications

Hope this helps

Title: Indian CS Grad → Finance/Trading MiM Abroad (INSEAD/NUS/ESSEC) – Need Profile Check & GMAT Target

Hey all,

I’m from India, graduating June 2025 with a BTech in Computer Science. I plan to apply for MiM 2026 intake at schools like INSEAD, NUS, ESSEC, SMU, WHU, RSM, Frankfurt, IE, EDHEC. My long-term goal is finance → hedge fund/venture capital → entrepreneurship back in India.

Profile snapshot:

Academics: BTech CSE, CGPA 7.60/10 .

Work/Internships: Investment Analyst (managing ₹73 lakh portfolio, +16% returns), Celonis Business Analyst internship, multiple virtual finance/tech internships (Google AI/ML, UiPath, Zscaler).

Leadership/ECs: VP Cultural Committee (₹7L fest budget, 50+ volunteers), Head of Mental Health Club, founded “Uplift Workers” NGO project, sports (cricket, badminton).

Achievements: SIH Grand Finale Top 5 (75k+ teams), Hackathon wins, published AI/finance research.

GMAT Focus: Not taken yet; aiming 625–645.

Questions I need help with:
1. I’ll have a gap year (2025–26) between graduation and MiM — what’s the best way to position it: finance internship, consulting/analytics role, or even projects?

2. Any other MiM programs (Top 50 globally) you’d recommend as “safer bets”?

I’d love some blunt feedback — especially on GMAT target scores vs my profile, and whether my gap year could be a red flag.

Thanks in advance,
Parth
if you want to target finance roles, I'd strongly suggest pivoting to a finance-specific degree like an MSc in Finance (e.g., LSE, Imperial, or NUS MSc Finance). These have direct recruiting pipelines to funds/banks, heavier quant/finance coursework, and better signal your commitment

In terms of the demographics keeping it real for indian candidates , you're in a crowded pool...adcoms might compare you to peers with 8.5+ CGPAs, 700+ GMATs, and bulge-bracket internships. This isn't a "no no" per se but your storytelling in essays and LORs should align with the goals
