MiM programs in the US are great as well, but most schools have only recently started offering them, so the alumni network is still developing. In business schools abroad, the alumni network is one of the most valuable resources when searching for a job. Moreover, the MiM program was pioneered by the French trio of HEC, ESSEC, and ESCP, which have extensive alumni networks you can leverage for referrals, interviews, and insights.

Another consideration is that MiM programs in the US tend to be more costly, and there aren’t as many waivers or scholarships available. I personally applied and got admitted to LBS, CMU, and Kellogg but chose not to attend because of the high costs and the lack of apprenticeship opportunities during the program. Hope this helps!

It depends a lot on your overall profile. GMAT is just one part of the application. I personally applied in Round 3 to HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, INSEAD, and LBS—and I got into all of them.

If you’re a male Indian engineer, it’s advisable to aim for a score near 700, as schools prioritize diversity. In cases where they’re deciding between two candidates, the GMAT score often becomes the tiebreaker.

However, if you have a strong profile, it can compensate for a slightly lower GMAT score (though not too low—80th percentile is the minimum in our current cohort). Beyond your GMAT score, what really matters are your CV, essays, and letters of recommendation. These show what you bring to the cohort, so personalize them as much as possible to highlight your unique strengths.

Don’t hesitate to emphasize any hobbies or extracurriculars that make you stand out. Schools often look for well-rounded candidates who not only excel academically but also bring diverse experiences and perspectives. For example, showcasing leadership roles or unconventional hobbies can be a powerful way to differentiate yourself from other applicants. These elements contribute to the broader narrative of your potential impact within the cohort, demonstrating that you’re more than just your test scores
