Hello 12921 , hope you have been well. I advise you to target upwards of 710 to improve your chances for ESSEC. As you are still in college, you definitely need some differentiating factors to be able to stand a chance at justifying your motivation for pursuing a masters in management. Having two internships will give some talking points on initiatives taken by you in a professional set up. Certifications in finance will help to show your academic inclination and interest in the subject. This is good! I am concerned about the utter lack of ECAs. Hope you can in some manner show prolonged association with a cause/hobby/sport that you feel passionate about. I suggest you to go over this brief write up and massage your memory for recalling any initiatives you may have taken during formative years or in college. https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-put-t ... l#p2943926 Overall your success would depend on how well you present your story to elicit a greater impact. Dive deeper into your experiences and tickle your brains to bring out the perfect match between your the school’s values and your personality. Also deliberate on your professional goals to present a seamless transition possibility after MiM. Most importantly, show active engagement with the school and alums to leave a strong impression on the Ad com. If you wish to seek professional guidance on your application strategy do reach out.

Thanks for the reply.

1. My 4th semester is going to end after two weeks and then we will have summer holidays. So i will not be able to join in any college activities. Is there any other way to improve extracurriculars?

2. I have been in social work some times but i don't have any proof to show. Certificates are required for social work?

3. During application in case i don't have any extracurriculars then gmat score around 710+ is safe for me?

Hi  12921  , hope this helps.

Not having certificates is not a deal-breaker, but having them would surely prove your story more authentic. Go ahead and talk about your social initiatives if you took any. Need not worry about your college ECs as nothing can be done about it. 
Put your best foot forward and if you come across as a strong candidate in all the other aspects (academics, goals, and professional projects/internships) a slight lack of ECs should not hold you back.

A 710+ on GMAT would seem convincing.

Best wishes
