Hi all, I have an offer from NUS for the MiM+CEMS, and another offer from ESSEC for the MiM - Singapore campus. What offer do you think I should accept? I am a European trying to live in Asia in the long run.

Hey guys, I have a good profile. I have pursued Civil Engineerimg in PSG and having a CGPA pf 8+/10. I have done 3 internships, 1st(2 months) one as Strategy and Business Operations intern at Milky Mist Dairy Food Pvt Ltd(National MNC), 2nd(2 months) as Assistant Project Manager intern at a Construction Company, 3rd(45 days) as Quantity Surveyor intern at a Construction Company. Also I was part of my college’s Entrpreneurship Club, working as a Executive Member at the club for a year. But my GMAT score is low, and I’m afraid that would affect my profile and chances of getting admitted into my dream business schools. Can you please help me with evaluating my profile?

Hi , Although anyone can evaluate a profile. I would say you ask an expert advice instead of asking anyone to evaluate. So for that I would suggest you create a thread in the evaluations discussions with all your gpa, work ex, everything including gmat and then list down the schools you are targetting. Then various experts from different consulting will give you a personalized opinion on each school that you are targetting. Hope that helps.

Hey everyone,
I’m thinking to apply in R2 for most B Schools
M: 19 India
BBA GPA: 9.3, Didn’t write my GMAT but expecting 710-720
Still in my final year
Extracurriculars, all I have is I’m involved in 3 clubs, related to business, Volunteering for a year
Organized 2 fests in my uni
Did 4 internships: HR, Finance at Taj, Strategy and Market Research, doing a consulting internship at a startup based in UK
My uni ain’t bad but with a strong GPA, GMAT and somewhat related internships, is there any possibility to get into HEC, ESSEC or INSEAD?
I’m mostly into essec because of its apprenticeship and it will help me out a lot.
I’m more geared towards 2 year degrees and in France

These are great stats, with a good score you will be in a good position for all these colleges. HEC and INSEAD is actually more well known outside paris, and I guess HEC also offers apprenticeship

Hello rakshitkonchada,

It's great that you're considering applying to top business schools in France for a 2-year degree program. Your academic performance and the internships you've undertaken are strong assets, and you have a decent chance of getting into schools like HEC, ESSEC, or INSEAD. However, admissions to these schools are highly competitive, so you'll need to make sure the rest of your application is also strong.

Here are some factors to consider:

1. GMAT Score: While you haven't mentioned your GMAT score yet, aiming for a score in the range of 710-720 is a good target for these schools. A higher score can enhance your chances further.

2. Recommendations: Strong letters of recommendation from professors or supervisors from your internships can make a significant difference in your application. Make sure to choose recommenders who can speak to your strengths and potential.

3. Essays and Personal Statement: Your essays and personal statements are crucial in conveying your motivations, goals, and how you can contribute to the school's community. Tailor your essays to each school, and be sure to highlight your unique experiences and how they have shaped your aspirations.

4. Extracurricular Activities: While you've mentioned your involvement in clubs and fest organizations, it's important to showcase how these experiences have contributed to your personal and leadership development. Emphasize the skills you've gained.

5. Language Proficiency: Ensure that you meet the language proficiency requirements of the specific program you're applying to, as some may require fluency in French.

6. Fit with the Program: Clearly articulate why you want to attend each specific school and how their programs align with your career goals. Show that you've done your research and understand what each school offers.

7. Apply to Multiple Schools: Apply to a mix of reach, match, and safety schools to maximize your chances of acceptance.

In the case of ESSEC and its apprenticeship program, be sure to highlight your interest in this aspect of the program in your application, as it's a unique feature that may set you apart.

Remember that admission to these top business schools can be highly competitive, even with a strong application. However, with your academic achievements, strong internship experiences, and a competitive GMAT score, you certainly have a good chance of being considered seriously for admission to these schools. Be diligent in preparing your application and ensure it reflects your strengths and ambitions effectively.

Good luck with your applications!

We offer a limited number of complimentary profile evaluations each week . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools. In this call, the experts will try to dig out your USP for top B-schools and provide you with honest feedback on your profile and chances to your target schools.

Feel free to schedule a free profile evaluation call with us to discuss your profile better and give a fair evaluation of your chances of admission to top Business schools.
