Hi everyone,
I know this is an old post, but I would love to get some feedback on my profile.
University: Hanyang University (Top 5 univesity in South Korea) Bachelor of Arts, International Studies (Intl. Business & Management Track)
GPA: 3.75/4.5 or 3.43/4.0 or 92.4 (A 100-Point Scale)
GRE: Quantitative - 163 Verbal - 159 (according to Mannheim's website this equates to a 670 GMAT score)
Internship: Brooklyn Nets NBA Basketball Team (6 months, Full-time in operations department)
Semester Abroad: N/A
Military Service: 2 years (Don't know if this would help or not)
I have no idea how this would be scored but from what someone mentioned earlier in the post it seems it would be 45 for GPA, 21 for GRE and 6 for internship = 72 points, which I think would be sketchy. Let me know if I'm right or wrong.
I'm trying to go to Germany because I want to work in the motorsport/automobile industry (hence the internship at a sports team) and also no tuition fees.
I thought of applying to EBS Master in Automotive Management, but the school is going downhill from the what I've heard and found out, so Mannheim instead.
Also, I'm retaking the GRE soon because I messed up the Quantitative.
Please feel free to bash me with negative (might as well be blunt and frank) or hopefully positive comments!
Thanks everyone in advance!
Hey!
First of all I know how competitive it is to get into a university in South Korea! So props to you for that!
I'm no expert, but one thing that I've come to know is that if you want to work in Germany, fluency of German language is a must. Atleast B1.
Your profile is good, but what you want to do is pretty niche. I'd say that UK is the best place if you want to work in Motorsports/Automobile industry as the UK universities have great connects with companies like Mclaren and Jaguar Land Rover. Most of the formula 1 teams (Like Red bull racing/Force India/Mercedes AMG etc) have their HQ in UK and they recruit students. But that would be a big gamble considering the Brexit issue and post study visa that has always been controversial.
If you can afford taking a risk, I would say UK is a better option in your case.
I would suggest you to try looking for people with a similar interest on LinkedIn. Narrow your search and talk to them before taking any step. That would atleast give you some idea.
Good Luck!
If my answer helped you in any way, please give me kudos! Thanks
