Good Luck!

Hi @Dannybouy , I hope you are doing well! Your GMAT Focus score of 645 and a GPA of 7.32 are slightly below average for highly competitive programs like HEC, LBS, and INSEAD. These factors could make admission to your top choices more challenging unless you have standout essays, impactful leadership experience, or strong extracurriculars to boost your application.

For HEC, ESSEC, and ESCP, your chances may be moderate to competitive depending on how well you articulate your story and goals. Ross and Fuqua may be stretch options due to the lower GMAT and GPA. Cornell MPS might be more attainable, given its broader range of accepted profiles.

INSEAD (R3) or LBS (R2) is ambitious, but worth considering if you feel your essays are ready and you have addressed your GPA effectively, perhaps by showcasing academic rigor through certifications or quantitative coursework.

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to discuss your profile in detail and gauge your chances for the best-fit schools. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.
