@248610541297701 I’m confused with choosing the right school between INSEAD and ESSEC. Can you pls share your experience while choosing between the two? Do you feel it was a good decision to choose ESSEC over others?
It’s a persona thing tbh ! I cannot choose a school for you..my priorities/expectations from the school might not be the same as yours

Hey guys
I was targeting HEC INSEAD R3
But have a gmat score of 645
Don’t know whether to wait till R4
Can someone please help out and suggest the best way forward?
According to me, the best way forward is to edit this question with a direction of what you are expecting as a suggestion? “Targeting HEC INSEAD R3 with 645 GMAT” is okay, but why do you want to wait for R4?

Reasons I can think of:
1. Thinking to get a better score and squeeze a few more points out of the GMAT
2. Essays not complete and still in the “work in progress since forever” phase
3. LORs didn’t arrive on time and your recommenders are on silent meditation mode
4. My gf doesn’t want me to apply because 3 is not good(Numerology > MiM)
5. My astrologer said this isn’t an auspicious time and Mercury is clearly against management education

I’m not sure if I stand a chance with a 645 on the gmat
for the 100th time "GMAT is just a .... of application" if other parts are not aligned you cannot get admit even with 705

Yes fair but these are also unis where if you have a good profile aligned with the program, a very good gmat score can boost your odds of getting in right?
Correct me if I’m wrong
please provide source when you say such noteworthy statements (like honestly a normal saturated profile but super great GMAT what does it mean ? either the person is a nerd or may have cheated to get a super high score to compensate...make your profile great and align your gmat score and if you think just good GMAT will boost your odds...i'm the wrong person to ask 😅) [645 admit]

Okay so I may be wrong. But what my consultant told me is that if one’s GPA is not brilliant they can exhibit the ability to handle academic rigour with a good gmat score
And I for one have a GPA in the 3.2-3.5 range out of 4, which is not bad but ofc not Woww either
So naturally I’m in two minds about retaking the gmat now
Yes that’s what profile alignment means...low gmat - maybe you have good management skills in a company so not able to study for gmat

Low gpa - maybe better gmat score

Now work experience - great academics

So on and so forth

Okay yes that makes sense
So what you’re saying is they want to see a well rounded profile right?
there is no point of stretching the single topic again and again...GMAT 645 would be able to make an inference from the previous arguments
