Hello! I'm Pinyo Getmanee, or you can call me by my Thai nickname Mo. I am so enchanted to announce to the world that I have been admitted to the HEC Paris Grande École Master in Management program and it is so beyond my wildest dreams to ever experience this in my lifetime. I previously graduated with from The University of Edinburgh with a Master of Chemistry degree, and I did a full year international exchange at The University of Sydney where I wrote my thesis in science education. With the experience of having lived in Thailand, UK and Australia, I cannot wait to begin the new chapter of my life in France in 2026!
Coming from a Chemistry MSc at Edinburgh with a 2:1 puts you in a solid academic position for ESADE’s MSc in International Management. Since you’re aiming to pivot into consulting, the GMAT will play a big role in signaling quantitative aptitude and career readiness. For ESADE, aim for 685+ to be competitive, though a 655+ can still work with strong essays and a clear post-MiM story.
What will matter is framing your scientific background as a strength, highlight analytical rigor, research methodology, and any leadership or teamwork from lab or thesis projects. Adding internships or business-related coursework before application would help create a smoother narrative into consulting.
With tight storytelling, you can stand out as a STEM-to-business pivot. Let’s structure your essays to translate that transition effectively.
