MiM Profile Evaluations [Master Thread]: Post all Profiles Here

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.

And is it a grilling one or normal. What kind of questions are asked?

Hi Anurag,

It was unclear if you were referring to Abdullah's profile or mine. In any case, could you please share your profile so that we have an idea about the profiles requires for HEC?

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 Whatsapp 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.

Background and nationality - Indian, male

Undergrad Information - Bachelors in Business with avg GPA of 6.6/10

GMAT/GRE - I am scheduled to take on GMAT. and hoping to get a 700+ score but being realistic if its in ballpark of 680-710

Work experience and leadership - I have roughly 2 years of work experience from our country based startup in core-marketing. I have achieved quite a few accomplishments while working. Social Media Management & Paid/organic traffic and project management are few of my strong points. I have built products from scratch which are current cash cows for the company.

Community and others - I had several chance volunteering with NGOs and aiding them with my digital marketing skills for their awareness.

Post Master goals - Want to be a successful marketer through improving my skills with world's renowned faculty and exposure.

My dream is to work in European and Asian continent post masters which makes HEC, Insead, ESSEC my prime targets. But with such low academics, do I even stand a chance?

Can anyone please help me with my profile and evaluation and give related suggestions?

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.

I have no clue about which B-Schools I should target. That is one of my questions as you have seen my profile. Could you suggest some Bschool about 5-10 which could give me a good Management learning experience as well as stable career path opportunities?

For Country Preference any in Europe would do.

Thanks a lot for taking out your time to reply.

Can someone please help

Hi Abdullah09,

Well as per your profile, European schools in France, Spain and Ireland would be a good fit for you.
UK, German and Candian Schools are very GPA centric, so schools in these countries might be tough to get into.

EU Schools are more flexible with the academics part, so look at schools like:
Upper Competitive: ESSEC, ESSEC, IE, ESADE
Competitive : EDHEC
Safe: Grenoble, Skema
