DishaG
So I have scored 650 in GMAT. But I have a good resume I think. 4 CGPA, 2 internships, extra curricular activities. Do I stand a chance at LSE or Imperial?
Also do they have interviews?
Hi
DishaG, well LSE and Imperial are prominent schools in UK (LSE will be dream, Imperial will be upper competitive) . All UK Schools place an emphasis on academics, so in that context your GPA is pretty decent. Internships and extra-curiculars count, but what matters more is what you did during those experiences so more profile details would help to estimate correctly.
Now, keep in mind that Imperial does not need a GMAT Score - So your 650 GMAT Score does not have a lot of implications for Imperial.
In fact, most of the UK Schools except LBS and LSE do not need GMAT/GRE, so you can actually go ahead and target prominent schools like Cass, Warwick, UCL along with Imperial.
For LSE, yes a 650 GMAT would be a bit on the lower end. You can keep it as your dream school, and highlight other strong profile elements.
LSE does not have an Interview, but the selected applicants for Imperial will have the Kira Interview Round ( Kira is basically a recorded Interview Format, wherein you will be asked to record a 1-2 min answers for a set of Questions)
I have created a robust tool which assigns you a profile score based on your profile details. If you want to estimate your chances for LSE and Imperial and check out which other schools you can target as per your profile, you can take up a free evaluation here:
