Hi everyone,
Could you please evaluate my profile. Any insights would help me immensely, as I plan to target MiM at (HEC, ESSEC).
This is my profile:
- 20 Years old - from Vietnam
- Studying Economics and Finance at Charles University in Prague in English (Rank 1 in Czechia).
- GPA 2.9/4.0. My GPA is low because of a visa issue which made me miss almost the whole first year.
- No GMAT yet. I want to target 645+ to compensate for my GPA.
- I have an internship in the FP&A team at Kenvue (formerly Johnson&Johnson) and one in Finance&Operations in a small company.
- I participated in the Harvard Global Case Competition and planning to do the CFA challenge this October. I also passed the CFA Level 1 and I also have the FMVA (Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst) from CFI.
- I'm planning to do an Erasmus exchange to PSL-Paris next semester.
I know that my GPA is very low, potentially a red flag to the admission. I want to know which way I can compensate for my GPA and would it be a direct no to these program. Thank you for your time!

This is definitely not a bad profile. You’ve got strong pieces—good university, relevant internships (Kenvue FP&A stands out), CFA Level 1.Yes, the GPA is a weak spot, but since you have a valid reason, the key is showing it doesn’t reflect your ability.Focus on GMATand try to push above 645 if possible—it’ll really help balance things out.Overall, you’re still very much in the game for ESSEC and competitive for HEC with the right execution.All the best !!!!
