Well done for 755. Yes, the score helps you offset the average GPA. I just had my candidate from Italy get double admits (HEC, ESSEC) with strong scholarships. What worked with him were his narratives that showcased his motivation, initiatives, leadership, and impact. Happy to put you in touch with him (See this post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/success- ... 24064-WtCC?)

Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, a 755 GMAT is a massive strength and that definitely puts you in the top academic bucket for European MiM programs. Combined with SRCC and strong extracurricular leadership, you’re clearly a strong candidate.

Now about the GPA, yes, it’s on the lower side but your GMAT absolutely helps offset that. A score like 755 signals strong analytical ability and academic readiness. If there were reasons behind the GPA (tough grading, upward trend, extracurricular commitments), use the optional essay smartly.

AdComs will look closely at:
1. Quality of internships/work experience
2. Leadership depth and not just titles
3. International exposure
4. Clear career goals

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
