Hello ;

I am looking for someone to assess my profile.

I am a 20 year old male and I am French.

I did 6 months of internships including 3 at PwC and 3 at PSA (I thought I would value the first one), and I spent 1 month abroad for a charity.

On the travel side, I participated in an exchange with IE for a period of 6 months and I participated in the intercampus mobility of 6 months in Singapore.

I will soon graduate from the BBA of ESSEC and I am in the top 15% of my class (about 15/20 on average)

I am preparing for the GMAT (710+ is my goal) and I got 8 in my Ielts.

On the side of my activities; I am a swimmer and I am part of the school association.
I am also part of one of the JE of my establishment in which I am a Senior Consultant (carrying out studies for start-ups or companies of all kinds against remuneration).
I am also part of the office of one of the most famous associations of the school.
I have some interesting certifications that I can add to my profile and am thinking of passing the AMF or Bloomberg.

My main targets are the MiMs of LBS, St Gallen, LSE.
Otherwise, I also hope to get Imperial, Bocconi, UCL and Esade or IE.

There you go, thank you in advance!

NewUserMIM2021

Hello everyone,
I would like my profile evaluated for MiM or MSc management for top unis in the UK. Which are the best possible schools in the UK i can target and have a good chance?
I have a BCom from a tier 3 college in India but i have a GPA of 8.47.
I scored first in my state for 4 out of 6 subjects in class 12. (89% total)
I was supposed to graduate April 2020 but that’s delayed because of Covid and I had to give my finals last September; I have not graduated yet.
I got 650 GMAT and will take the Toefl soon.
I have lots of extracurriculars (NSS, sports, quiz club, commerce association, consumer advocacy forum, college magazine coordinator) but no work experience. I have applied for some internships.
I grew up in the Middle East during school (lived for over 8 years)
I speak 3 languages.
I would like to join the September 2021 intake.

My profile is on the weaker side, but I’d like to know where there’s any chance for an admit

Much thanks,
Skiing

Hey NewUserMIM2021,

To begin with, your undergraduate GPA of 8.47 is pretty impressive and will allow you to target almost every school in the United Kingdom, as schools in the UK are relatively more biased towards the GPA. Being from a tier 3 college should not worry you, as what matters most is how you utilized your time in college, thus showcasing a well-groomed profile is what you should be focusing on.

Coming to your extracurriculars, you have a lot of leadership and volunteering roles in varied classes like sports, clubs, fests, and events, which all showcase your strong interest in developing your profile holistically. So make sure you elaborate on what you did in the roles and dig deeper into this aspect to bring out varied skills like leadership, teamwork, and effective communication in your profile as B-schools are looking for applicants that are future leaders and can effectively manage and work in a team.

As for your GMAT, an overall score of 650 is on the lower end for the top-notch schools like LBS and LSE. Other than these two, all schools in the UK do not require GMAT. That being said, if you’re keen on targeting LBS and LSE, I would highly advise that you go for a retake and try targeting a minimum of 690.

Moving on, your lack of work experience is a bleak point in your profile. Since you would be competing with applicants with extensive work experience hailing from big brands, I would advise you to create an alibi for the same by showcasing your involvement in the family business. Moreover, highlight how you have gone beyond the role, any initiatives you took, and any kind of impact created to showcase an equally competitive profile. Furthermore, you can cover for this shortcoming by taking up some courses or certifications in the field of management, as top b schools are on the lookout for those who are constantly on the path of upskilling themselves.

Coming to school suggestions, you can consider targeting LBS, LSE, and Imperial that fall under the dream category while Warwick, Cass, UCL, Durham, and Kings can be targeted under the competitive category. Looking at your profile you have a 50% chance of getting admitted to the schools in the dream category and a 70% chance of getting admitted to the schools in the competitive category.

On this note, while you have a competitive profile, to increase your chances of getting admitted to these schools you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application (consisting of - Essays, LORs, and Resume) that highlights your strengths and overshadows your weaknesses in order to differentiate your profile. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers, and how you are a great value addition to the school.

Therefore, in lieu of that, I would recommend you to check out our flagship ALL-IN-ONE service, that has helped 3500+ applicants get into their dream schools. As you are still in the early process of your application, it would provide you with end-to-end consulting and unlimited edits on your application documents. Not only this, you’d be consulted by a B-school alumnus who’d be helping you directly with your application process, right from shortlisting the right schools and submitting an impactful application to the school to preparing you for the interview and bagging scholarships!

pilgrimanager

Hi all,

My name is Mert, from Istanbul, Turkey. I graduated from architecture but I want to be a consultant as a career goal. This is why I want to apply to MiM programs.

University: I graduated from Istanbul Tech. University with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture GPA: 3.43/4.00. ( it is a highly selective public school and the best school in architecture in Turkey)
I also had an exchange year in paris, france.

GMAT: I will take it in two weeks. I aim to get at least 700. the more, the merrier
Toefl: 104 ( 27,28,24,25)
Work Experience: Previously I have internship experience in an architecture and engineering firm based in Turkey but mainly operated globally. ( 3 months)
I also interned at an archaeological excavation ( 2 months)
For the past 3 years, I have also been teaching language to foreigners in tech company.

Extra-curricular: I have many extracurricular activities. I have been a volunteer Ambassador to a Forum, being the only Turkish representative. I have also been participating in this forum for the past 3 years. Also I have mentored a group of first time scholarship holders there.
I also work as a volunteer junior editor in an online architectural and urbanism publication platform based in the NL.

I speak English, French, Turkish and some other languages at basic and int. level (norwegian and japanese) So one of my best skills is language ability.

Community: I volunteered in a library dedicated to only women’s work
I also co-founded my uni’s lgbtq+ club.
Represented my school to NAAB accreditation committee

My aim is to get offers at least one from LBS, LSE, HEC, Bocconi, RSM, TUM, IE

I want to work as a consultant afterwards, understanding the basics of management which I lack and kind of be a unique combination with my background and with elective courses.

I’d appreciate it if you can drop me any insight or advice. Or maybe other universities that are more suitable for my profile. I would like to have some insights on how I can better show my profile considering my background in architecture. Because I am afraid that my background is going to be an obstacle ( I haven't seen so many arch grads studying at those schools now)

Hi pilgrimanager,

From the first glance itself, your profile looks well-groomed. To begin with, your undergraduate background in architecture is more of an asset to you as it differentiates you from the crowd and helps you add diversity to the cohort which is what every school is looking to breed. In addition to this, your GPA is pretty competitive and allows you to target every top MiM program worldwide. Here you have mentioned that you are aiming for a 700 in your GMAT however, taking into consideration your preferred schools especially HEC, you need to aim for at least a 710 in your GMAT.

Another interesting addition to your profile is your international experience in the form of a one year exchange program to Paris which goes on to showcase your broadened perspective and adaptability quotient, traits held in high regard by top b-schools.

Your extracurriculars further vouches for the varied skills you have got under your belt which will definitely work in your favour. Looking at the details you have provided about your extracurriculars, you have been constantly upgrading yourself by going above and beyond in your endeavours. From volunteering and mentorship works to spearheading an LGBTQ+ community in your college, you have been involved in all the right causes through which you can highlight your interpersonal skills.

When talking about your work experience, you have got an extensive amount of exposure in the professional setup. However, since you are applying for a management degree, it would be better if you can highlight any experience in the managerial position to stay relevant to the program. Having said that, you can also highlight the projects you handled, skills you’ve gained and your major takeaways to stand at par with the competition you face.

Now coming to the schools that you are targeting, HEC, LBS, LSE fall under the dream category(where your chances of acceptance is 40-50%), while Bocconi, RSM, TUM, and IE can be clubbed under the competitive category(where your chances of acceptance is 60%). On this note, to hedge your bets wisely, you can also look at some other great schools such as ESSEC, ESCP, FSFM, ESMT, and ESADE.

All things considered, you can further boost your chances of acceptance by presenting a very strong application that will help you differentiate yourself from the applicant pool. Your application would highlight your profile USP’s and overshadow any particular weaknesses in your profile. Since you are concerned about your undergraduate background in architecture, your application would be the main tool through which you can represent it as an asset. Moreover, you need to ensure that your LORs and Resume, equally depict the strengths of your profile.

That said, if you are contemplating how to draft an impactful application, you can check out our All-in-one service, that is a complete end to end consulting process aimed at providing personalized application suggestions, unlimited editing service(SOPs, essays, resume, LORs), guidance regarding loans and visas and expert consultants who would constantly be there to help you throughout your application journey.

Hi B2B,

First and foremost, you have a well groomed profile. You have done your undergraduate in BBA from ESSEC which is a good brand name under your CV that will definitely work in your favour. Moreover, your performance in your undergraduate vouches for your academic prowess and would help you stand out from the rest of the competition.

Additionally, you have also mentioned your international experience, wherein you have had 6 months of exchange program at IE and at the ESSEC Singapore campus respectively. These experiences can be used to highlight your broadened perspective and adaptability nature. All in all, through these activities, you would be able to showcase your constant learning curve which is an important aspect valued by any b-school.
Furthermore, you are targeting a 710+ in your GMAT exam which is exactly what you should be aiming for considering the schools that you are targeting are all in the top-tier category.

Talking about your work experience, you definitely have an upperhand since you have a big brand name under your CV that is PwC. Moreover, you have also had internship experience at PSA which even though might not be very recognisable is still relevant to showcase your skills. Thus, you can use both the experiences to highlight the kind of projects you handled, skills you developed and the impacts you created.

Coming to your extracurricular activities, you have a diverse range of activities under your belt which goes to show that you are an all-rounder. Through these activities, your interpersonal skills such as leadership, team-work and communications skills. Moreover, you have also got some certifications where you can highlight your academic skills, as well your thirst for knowledge and vigour to constantly upskills yourself.

Speaking of the schools that you are targeting:
St Gallen comes under the ultra-dream category (where your chances of acceptance is 30%)
LBS and LSE comes under the dream category (where your chances of acceptance is 50%)
Imperial, Bocconi, UCL, Esade and IE fall under the competitive category (where your chances of acceptance is 70%)

However, you can further boost your chances of acceptance by presenting a very strong application that will help you differentiate from the application pool. Your application would highlight your profile USP’s and overshadow any particular weaknesses in your profile. Moreover, you need to ensure that your LORs and Resume, equally depict the strengths of your profile.

Hi "pujitha12" - Jen, CEO here at ARINGO and I would love to provide some insights to your profile as it relates to these schools.
Academics - Good college, GPA is neutral
GMAT/GRE - reattempting the GMAT will give you optimal opportunities at these schools (GMAT is more widely expected in UK/EU)
Professional Ex - doing great in this area, any promotions or major projects nearing completion?
EC's: great leadership, certainly the strongest part of your application - leverage this in your essays along with your international experience (any volunteer experience to share with the adcoms?)

Overall, good profile, stronger with a GMAT score that illustrates your aptitude for the program. We have a MiM specialist on our team that will help articulate why you should be part of the 2021 cohort.
Happy to chat offline as well - you can email me at [email protected]

Shashwat9

Hey Shashwat9,

Beginning the evaluation with your academics, graduating with a GPA of 8.3/10 definitely showcases your strong academic prowess. Moreover, considering your inclination towards the management, graduating with a bachelors in commerce showcases your passions towards the field. As for your GMAT, a target score of 690+ is what you should most certainly aim for. Considering your academic background, one thing that you need to focus on is differentiating yourself from the crowd since the average applicant pool every year is clouded with engineers and business graduates.

Moving on, extracurricular activities are a way to showcase your proactive attitude and how you have emulated the theoretical knowledge you gained in classes and created a positive impact by utilizing them in real-life situations. Hence, the initiatives you have taken up should highlight your holistic development on all fronts. Seeing your extra-curricular activities, I’d say being a part of NSS is an amalgamation of how socially responsible you are and how you have the ability to take a lead and go the extra mile. Additionally, you can talk about how you were able to organise the National Heritage Day Seminar, International Women’s Day, World Heritage Day and how you were able to make a positive impact by leveraging your leadership and communication skills. Also, your diploma in singing and art shows your diverse skill set, a trait that is most certainly held in high regard by b-schools.

You have undertaken two certifications such as Business Analytics and Leadership and Management which showcases your will to always upskill yourself and gain a holistic and cross-functional understanding of various business fields. This goes on to vouch for your passion in the field and can be a good point in highlighting the dedication you have towards fulfilling your career goals.

As for your practical experience, 3 months Internship in a local business unit is decent enough however you need to be mindful of the fact that you’d be facing competition from applicants from big4 companies. To cover this up, you can utilize your application to draw the focus on the quality of your work. Here, talking about the roles and positions you undertook, the teams and projects you led and the impact you created in those positions would help you establish yourself as a strong candidate. In addition to this, you can also talk about your family business in case you have any to build on the breadth of your experiences.

Coming on to the schools that can be targeted, here are a few schools bifurcated as per the dream, competitive, and safe category:
Dream: HEC, LBS, LSE, Duke
Competitive: Essec, Escp, FSFM, ESMT, Imperial
Safe: EDHEC, Skema, Grenoble, IESEG

Your chances of acceptance at dream schools are 40-50%, at competitive schools 60-70%, whereas in safe schools it is 80%.

To sum up, given the fact that you hail from a business degree and have a holistically developed profile, you need to make sure that you stand out from the crowd as you will be competing with guys from similar backgrounds. In this case it is imperative to present a strong application.

A strong application holds 30% of weightage in the entire admission process. It also aids in highlighting your strengths and giving apt justifications for your weaknesses to smooth over any flaws in your profile. You can use this tool in your arsenal to the best of your advantage.

That said, as the major chances of your admission process depend on the quality of your application, you might want to seek professional help to secure your spot in top B-schools. You can thus check out our, All-in-One Solution, to gain insights into how we can assist you in creating an application that could boost your chances of acceptance by a minimum of 3x. A good GMAT coupled with strong essays and an early application should help you get into your target schools.

Hey yashiagg,

To begin with, your academic background showcases a series of excellent scores starting right from your schooling to your undergraduate degree, thus bringing to light your strong academic prowess. Moreover, the brand of your undergraduate college - ranking among the top colleges in India, gives your profile a boost as schools tend to pick out applicants from the top schools of each country.

Moving on, you have quite a few leadership and volunteering roles which all showcase your strong interest in developing your profile holistically. So make sure you elaborate on what you did in the roles and how you handled problems, planned the events, raised funds, etc. You should dig deeper into this aspect and bring out varied skills like leadership and teamwork in your profile. Your role in a social service forum further complements your leadership potential as it showcases your drive to give back to the society.cOn the extracurricular front, you can also take up some certifications that would showcase your passion for the field of management and your will to constantly upskill yourself. This could further improve your profile and give you the required competitive edge.

As for your practical experience, your 1.5 years of work experience as a Business Analyst in a Fintech startup, would put you at par with other applicants. Working in a startup environment also means that you might have worked on a lot of varied projects. Showcasing how the experience groomed your skills and knowledge as well as highlighting the impact created due to such endeavors would allow you to compete with candidates hailing from the big 4 firms.

Coming to your GMAT, an overall expected score of 640 is on the lower end. Therefore, I would advise you to go for a retake at the earliest and to target a minimum score of 690, that would allow you to target top B schools.

Coming on to the schools you can target, when applying abroad, in order to hedge your bets wisely, it is always better to target 6-7 schools in the dream, competitive, and safe category. Some of the schools in the respective mix of categories are listed below.

Dream Category (50% chance of acceptance) - LSE, INSEAD, LBS, HEC and Duke

Competitive Category (70% chance of acceptance) - ESSEC, ESCP, FSFM, IE, and Imperial

Safe Category (90% chance of acceptance) - Grenoble, Skema, EDHEC

On this note, while you have a competitive profile, to increase your chances of getting admitted to these schools you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application (consisting of - Essays, LORs, and Resume)that highlights your strengths and overshadows your weaknesses in order to differentiate your profile. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers, and how you are a great value addition to the school.

Therefore, in lieu of that, I would recommend you to check out our flagship ALL-IN-ONE service, which has helped 3500+ applicants to get into their dream schools. This service will also provide you with end-to-end consulting and unlimited edits on your application documents. Not only that, you’d be connected with B-school alumni who’d be helping you directly with your application process, right from shortlisting the right schools to submitting the application to the school.
