Hi utkarsh025,
Well, a you have a pretty fair profile as such, GPA though a bit below SMU's average but still is pretty fair.
GRE is slightly on the lower end, but can be compensated by other profile strengths.
But the thing here is I cannot comment on how these can be compensated by profile strengths as your question lacks details about your profile - Companies interned at, responsibilities over there, achievements in extra-curriculars, volunteering activities,etc
Also For MiM, your internships will be considered as work experience so do not downplay them.

I would suggest you to take up this quick profile evaluation so that I can get more details and come back with an accurate analysis on your selection chances: https://www.mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation/?gmat-club

Hello,

I would like to have a profile evaluation.

Indian female

Age - 24

GMAT - To give in august, expecting 720+

Graduation - 8/10 - Computer science engineering

Work experience - working as a software engineer in a french based company in india (2 years workex)

Extracurricular -
* NGO experience of 1 year.
* Been Head coordinator of my college career and placement cell
* Organised multiple events in college
* Assisted a consultancy in organising an education fair
* Play table tennis at corporate level, won gold last year in intra-organisation table tennis competition

Target schools - MIM @ HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC

I am worried that my age is going to be a problem. I want to pursue an MIM and in august 2020 my workex will be 2 years. People say MIM is for people with less than 2 years workex. But, at the time of applying my workex is 2 years but ofcourse by the time of joining the sept 2021 intake my workex will exceed.

How am i exactly supposed to calculate my workex? Will it be a problem for me?
Also, will my french based company experience be an asset for my application to my french b schools?

Any response would be highly appreciated. Thankyou in advance.

Hi Ssj30,

A pretty strong profile, UG rank, Brand name on Resume and strong extra-curriculars are profile assets.
CFA is an added leverage, you can highlight it in your essays to showcase an interest in pursuing a long term career in finance.
GPA is on the lower side for LBS . You will need to email the school before hand to confirm your eligibilty.
For HEC, ESCP and ESSEC, however with a strong application you will have a fair shot.
However, you would need to be very,very articulate in highlighting your reasons for the low GPA in your essays. Most applicants mention lack of interest in the UG degree and Involvement in Extra-curriculars, so you need to think on how you can differentiate yourself.

You can drop me a https://gmatclub.com/chat on +91-8810658356 if you want to know more about profiles that got into your target schools and how you can amplify your selection chances.

Hi Anurag! Congratulations!

Could you please share your profile?

You have a great profile wholly, except UG percentage. Your extracurricular awards will compensate for the percentage loss. Definitely, your profile will be impressive to offer for the adcom team.
What are your targeted B-Schools or country? what are your post-study goals? Pl provide.
+10 to +20 score of an average GMAT score of the particular schools will give more chances to get admit.

Hi experts!

I am a French student (20 years old) from a top 10 French B-School (Bachelor in Management ranked 4th in France, second bachelor's degree with the most applications in 2020 in France) and I have been the best students in my first two years with a 4.0/4.0 GPA. I have done my exchange semester in the Arizona State University and I had the best marks of my classes (GPA 4.0/4.0). I also integrated a university association named "Change the World". I have created a start-up in 2018 in France and another one this year during my exchange semester. Thanks to my first start-up I have integrated to the best incubator of the South of France for 6 months. Unfortunately, I left the first start-up because of troubles with my associate and the second one because we had to stop our activity due to COVID-19. I have done two internships: One as General Manager (team management + marketing + achievements such as improving the total revenue by 10%) in a huge restaurant for 3 months and another one as the CEO's Assistant of a national known company in Albania for 3 months. Furthermore, I have done 6 months of volunteering as a French-Albanian translator in France to help Albanian immigrants. I also have a 1 year volunteering in my B-School. I was an ambassador of the school and had to represent it in forums and high schools. Thanks to my work during this volunteering. I had an exclusive "recommendation" from the Head of Contests and Promotion of the school. I am also the Vice-President of the School student office and I have to manage 50 people and organise events for more than 500 persons.
For my third year I have been chosen to pursue a Dual Degree in Germany and write a thesis. So I will have 2 Bachelor's degrees. This German Bachelor is ranked among the Third Best Bachelor in International Business Administration in Germany). I will have to write a full thesis during this year.
Regarding GMAT, I am currently learning through E-Gmat and Target Test Prep. I hope to reach a score between 660-710.
IELTS 7/9 (C1). I speak French (bilingual), Albanian (B2) and Spanish (B2).
Letters of recommendation: I have one letter from my Albanian Internship and I am hesitating for my academic one. Is it better to have a letter from a professor or from my School Director (she doesn't really know me but I finished first so I can have a letter from her)?
I have been the Captain of a local soccer team between 2014 and 2018 and we won 2 leagues. In 2013 our BasketBall team won the Regional Championship and so played as a national level and I was the captain of the team.
I won my B-School Business Game which is a team game in which you have a business that you have to develop while having the whole school compete. We had the best financial results and I have been elected as the Leader of the winning team.


I want to apply to those schools and programs:
-CEMS Bocconi or HEC
-MiM Bocconi
-Mim St Gallen
-Mim HEC
-Hec-Yale M2M
-MiM LBS
-MiM LSE
-Yale Silver Program
-EDHEC Triple Degree Program
-Mim ESCP Europe
-MiM Essec

Will apply to R1 to all.

I really want to do a Double Degree if I do a simple Mim and if possible in the US (only ESCP, HEC, EDHEC have good US Dual Degree parternships).
My preferred choice would be the HEC-Yale M2M, Mim HEC, MiM LBS, CEMS.

So what do you think about all of this? Do I have any chance? Even with a 660 GMAT Score?
Thank you for your help!
