Hey guys, I'd like to hear your thoughts. My target schools are INSEAD and ESSEC
Portuguese, 24, Male
I have a previous master's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology with a final grade of 17/20, which is equivalent to around 3.8GPA. Graduated from well-known university in Portugal.
I'm scoring around 650 on mocks. Will take the GMAT soon.
I have little work experience still. I've worked managing partnerships with the biggest cruise lines and hotel chains in the world and also took care of the recruting processes. However, I had to work hand in hand with colleagues from America, Italy, Spain and other countries as well as travel for work, which I hope counts as having international experience for INSEAD.
As for extracurriculars, I've done sports all my life, the likes of tennis, handball, basketball, etc. I'm deeply passionate about living in multiple countries and interacting with people from all over the world as well. I've also had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Europe.
I'm also able to connect very well with people and build bridges to solve conflicts. Given I did sports all my life, I also enjoy working in teams a lot.
I speak 3 languages and am currently learning a 4th one slowly. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I've spoken to a few INSEAD alumnis and they have told me that INSEAD cares a lot about diversity and Portugal is usually very underrepresented.
My goals post masters would be to work in consumer goods/tech or consulting.
My biggest concern is the GMAT score and the apparently uneventful work experience compared to some other candidates.
I'd like to know your opinions on my profile and feel free to ask any further questions if needed,
Thank you very much

Hi RRINSEAD2025
Much of what you say is in your words. Would like to see it in specifics & figures to be able to give an informed opinion. You can submit one on the website (details in my signature)
That said, a GMAT score of 720 (classic) would put you in a strong position for INSEAD. Essec, IESE and ESADE etc you can get into with lower scores.
Your academics will work in your favour, though you will need to have clarity in answering the question of Why MBA (and why NOW) through greater clarity in your career goals.
Hope that helps
