Hi @RRK1995 , hope you are doing well!

Your profile as a Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of experience in accounting, financial planning, and product cost analysis at a Fortune 100 manufacturing MNC demonstrates good financial expertise, leadership, and international exposure. Your transition from the traditional CA route into industry, coupled with managerial experience and cross-functional collaboration with global teams, adds depth to your candidacy. (CHECKOUT THIS BLOG) However, your GMAT Focus score of 635(690 classic) is slightly low for HEC Paris and INSEAD, where admitted candidates typically have average score range 690 to 710. But we have seen many applicants getting in with decent score and a great profile (CHECKOUT this Success story). Additionally, while your involvement in the Culture Committee and the Accounting Professional Committee shows engagement, further leadership in high-impact extracurricular activities (CHECKOUT THIS BLOG) such as volunteering, mentoring, or social initiatives could add more depth. Given your goal of transitioning into Corporate Strategy/General Management in Europe, HEC and INSEAD remain strong choices, (can give a shot with strategic planning and an impactful story) but you can also consider ESSEC, ESMT Berlin, or Rotterdam, where your profile might be more competitive. To maximize your chances, focus on enhancing your GMAT score(if possible), strengthening your extracurricular impact, and crafting a compelling narrative that highlights your leadership, adaptability, and global mindset. You can take a look at BLOG1 , BLOG2 and Webinar.

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to learn more about your profile and provide a detailed evaluation and gauge your chances to the best-fit schools. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.

HI, Good profile overall. Your breadth of experience combined with work in international teams should help at both these bschools. You could take a chance applying with your current score, although I would prefer applying with a higher GMAT score. This may still work for you as you have an otherwise solid quant profile (and you could make a mention of it in the application).
The extra curricular activities act a nice topping to your profile.
All the best and do reach out if you'd like a deeper profile evaluation.

Hi @SeekingResult - a few q's before sharing some feedback:

1. How has your professional arc been i.e. have you worked for big brands, been promoted, etc.?

2. Is your MBA motivation primarily to shift geographies, or are you looking to shift function/ sector/ brand?

3. Any ExtraCurriculars worth highlighting?

The current GMAT score is a bit on the lower side though, particularly for INSEAD: planning a retake is good.

Thank you for replying.

I have mostly worked with startups but yes, promoted within startups. I transitioned from a software engineering role to product management.

I want to pursue mba because I want to learn more about leadership and move to senior management roles or work in global firms.

I have some extracurricular such as a blog on personal development and a youtube channel with a handful of videos.

I’m aiming a good score in focus edition.

Interesting profile overall, given your promotions, transition to PM role and ECs.

Would suggest having a strong narrative highlighting the skillsets you've gained thro' your roles, why/ how MBA can help fill in the gaps, and your post MBA goals i.e. target sector/ function/ geography and also companies (ideally ones that recruit from your target schools).

All the best for your GMAT Focus! Feel free to reach out if you'd need support on your applications.

Thank you, @admitStreet for your input

If you are looking at Europe only, perhaps Judge would be another contender. It is a 12-month program.

Thanks, @bb for the suggestion

Congrats! Did not realize Goizueta started releasing the invites... you got an invite for this year? 😲

Hi @bb, yes, got the interview invite for 1 yr mba program

Amazing! Congrats!!!

Thanks
