Hey everyone. I was wondering if I could get some insights on my profile and my chances for admission into the MiM program at LBS. I’m a young woman from Pakistan, entering my fourth and final year of undergrad. My cgpa is currently 3.66/4 and I’ve been on the Dean’s List for the past two years. My degree is a joint one: BSc Sociology-Anthropology (Hons) from LUMS. It is the best private university in Pakistan. In fact, the only couple of individuals who have gone to LBS in the past are either from LUMS or one other university (IBA). I have numerous internships, my first one was as an HR intern at an IT Consulting company with offices abroad as well. My second one was at KIKO Milano (an Italian makeup company) where I worked as a marketing intern. I have also worked at a foreign startup in Belgium as a marketing intern. For the past 3-4 months I am working as a part time Marketing Specialist at a startup based in England. I have served as a teaching assistant at my university, and have now been selected as a career peer tutor at my university’s career services office. Over the summer I also conducted a directed research project under supervision of one of our professors. I’ve done multiple courses/ certifications such as the McKinsey Forward Program, Foundations of Project Management by the PMI, and the Inside LVMH Certificate by LVMH group. I’m aiming for R1 admissions. However, GMAT is where I struggle. Realistically speaking, I may not be able to score above a 605 on the Focus. Should I still apply? I’m aware these universities are pretty selective and obviously GMAT score holds a lot of weightage. Thanks.
