Hi All,
I'm in a difficult situation and hope the GMAT club community will help me in this.
I'm an international student from India currently pursuing my Master of Science in Management at Ivey Business School majoring in Business Analytics. I have completed two terms and two more to go. I joined this program expecting a blend of both business and analytics skills, but the program seems to be heavily concentrated towards data analytics. Hence, I withdrew from Ivey and planning to join a program which has a holistic approach towards Business and Management.
Considering the current pandemic situation, I’m planning to enrol in a course within Canada starting this Winter term. Deadline for most of the universities is over already. Out of available options, I have chosen three potential programs for the January 2021 intake.
1. MBA at John Molson (Already submitted my application and video essays, waiting for GMAT Result)
2. Master in International Business at Queens - Smith (Already submitted my application and video essays, given GMAT exemption, Yet to give final interview)
3. MSc in International Business at HEC Montreal( Yet to start the application process - GMAT required)
I will be giving my GMAT on 15th September and hope to score around (620 - 650) range.
I would like to know my chances of admission for these programs as well as how these programs stand with one another with respect to curriculum, learning, reputation among employers and future job prospects.
My Profile:
CGPA:
Bachelors in Engineering - 7.54/10
Master of Science in Management - 3.7 / 4.0 (Withdrew after 2 terms)
Work Experience:
Software (Information Technology - India) -> 28 Months
Internships:
Business Development - EdTech Startup (India) -> 6 Months
Analytics Consultant - Major Law Firm (London, Canada) -> 3 Months

Hey B5A,
Considering the programs that you have targeted, starting with the Masters in International Business at Queens and HEC Montreal both fall in the competitive category. Both of them are similar in terms of curriculum, learning, reputation among employers and future job prospects.
Since they are both top schools of the country, you would have no problems in terms of employment as all the big companies including the big four frequently hire graduates from both these schools.
As far as the curriculum and learning is concerned you need to do is study and research the entire program and curriculum and see which align better with your interests in business and management. Apart from that you should also look at the extracurriculars the schools offer - the kind of clubs and associations they have, the events and exchange programs and how they could add value to what you want to do.
For the MBA at John Molson, it is also a competitive school. An MBA program is generally a manager's degree and requires 4-5 years of work experience, looking at your work experience, you have approximately 3 years of experience which is a bit on the lower end.
Since you have already submitted your application and video essays it would all come down to how you have presented yourself in the application. The trick here was to make up for the lacking years of work experience by talking about the projects you have undertaken, how you have learnt and gained skills at par with the other applicants with 5-6 years of work experience. Your application and how you have presented yourself would determine your chances of acceptance in the program.
Since you are yet to submit your application for the M.Sc. in International Business at HEC Montreal, you should focus on highlighting on your application how you are better than others and how you can add value to the school.
Highlighting your strengths and being specific about your goals should make your application more competitive and increase your chances of getting admitted to the program. I would suggest you to target a GMAT score above 700, the higher you score the better it would make your chances.
For the Jan intake programs, if you are not restricted only to Canada can definitely target schools such as : IE, SMU, NUS, University of Melbourne and University of Sydney.
Hope this helps
