Hey everyone,

I would like to apply to a few European MiM programs next year.
My profile is as follows:

Male, 25, from Germany

GPA: 4.0 (1,5 on the German Scale, Top 10%)

GMAT: 640 (1st attempt)

TOEFL: not taken yet, but aiming for 100+

International experience: none, but really would like to gain some (had no possibility during my bachelors degree)

Work experience:
- 3 years sales (during my bachelor degree; a joint program with a well known, international insurer)
- 3 months Big4 audit
- 2,5 years in consulting (fulltime in a smaller boutique; operations & strategy projects)
- 1 year as a business analyst (insurance)
- I also gained several certificates in project management, programming, soft skills, etc. (most of them on a voluntary basis in addition to my actual work)

Extras:
- I was a martial arts coach during the last 3 years of high school and trained kids, as well as adults
- voluntary financial coach for kids (visited schools and taught the fundamentals of money)
- initiated a small, local project against racism and discrimination

The programs I would like to apply for (from most favorite to least favorite): Mannheim (MMM), WU Vienna (SIMC, MiM or CEMS), SSE (MiM or CEMS)

How would you rate my chances?
I thought about retaking the GMAT, as I scored slightly higher in the official mocks (~660-680). But due to Covid, it is not possible for me to take another offline test, so I would need to try the online-version (which could affect my score negatively).

Are there any others good business schools that could be in my range?

Thanks in advance.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards

Hi Guys,

I’m at the moment very nervous regarding my masters and would really appreciate if someone could give me some advice/evaluation.

I’m studying in German at a Top 5 school a mixture between business and computer science. My final GPA will be around 3.1-3.0

I finished several internships
-Investment banking at a large Italian bank
-mid-sized investment management/PE
-renewables start up in bizDev
-Controlling intern at a real estate firm
-Business Intelligence at a large e commerce

The internships all lasted 3 months.
I also volunteered before my studies at an orphanage in Africa.

My gmat target score is 710-720. I know it will be difficult but having a Goal certainly eases the study phase.

My target schools:
HEC (MiM), Bocconi (MFin), St. Gallen (MaccFin), SSE (MFin)

Thanks again for your help!

Posted from my mobile device



Hey guys, if someone could also have a look at my profile it would be much appreciated. I forgot to mention MFin ESSEC as another possibility. Thanks a lot!


Overall, your profile looks good.

Academics
Is your GPA on a 0-4 scale? If it is, then 3.0-3.1 would probably be on the lower end for some of the schools you mentioned. A strong GMAT could possibly help balance this out. Try to hit above the average for each school. There are some schools e.g. Bocconi that are quite particular about high GPAs but most schools will evaluate your profile holistically.

Internships
Your experience is across quite a few industries so it would be important to mention how all this relates to a future career in finance/management when you write your essays/personal statement.

Programme choice
Noticed that you are quite keen on finance but have opted for the HEC MiM. There may be a story behind this but I would assume that the Masters in International Finance at HEC might suit your finance theme a bit better. Regardless, there will be finance modules on the HEC MiM too. Just something to consider.

Additional tips
1. Identify your career goals and have a good story of how the masters will help you achieve that.
2. If your future career options are in finance, I would focus on selling the combination of business and computer science that you're studying. Lots of large banks are now trying to compete with traditional tech companies for talent. So your degree combination + masters in finance/management would be a good fit.

This is my profile
21-year old man from Italy.
I'm graduating this year my Bachelor in Economics and Business in one of the top 2 business school in my country (LUISS University) with a GPA of 4.00/4.00 (translated in English/American system);
GMAT score 690 (V38,Q47)
I have no internship but I've been working for two years as a certified Tennis Chair Umpire in the highest national level (First League and Italian championships).
I have international experience as I spent one year of high school in the United States as an exchange student and I took part to the structured partnership between LUISS and Utrecht University, which allowed me to do the second year of my Bachelor in Utrecht.
Extracurricular activities: I have been playing tennis at national level since I was 10 and I'm currently member of my university tennis team.
I'm really curious to know if I have a good chance to get in any of the above-mentioned schools, thank you for your time!


Hello alberto14,

Your profile does fit for the MIM program. These programs are very highly ranked and admit aspirants with less or no experience. You could also consider the INSEAD MIM program too. You could leverage your background in sports to talk about what got you interested in management. Playing sports requires a lot of discipline and drive to focus on your goal. These programs also have good tennis clubs that you could contribute to. I am assuming you would be looking for a 2021 intake. I suggest go ahead and apply.

regards,
Shree

Hey alberto14,

Well, you have a pretty good profile as such - GPA and exchange programs work in favor of you. This would definitely help you outrun some of the competition in initial application screening.
You need to highlight your extra-curriculars through your essays and your college rankings also work in favor of you.
690 in GMAT is a decent score and for the schools that you have mentioned, I will categorize the same on the basis of a dream, competitive and safe.

Dream ( 40-50% selection chances) -- St. Gallen (though st.gallen has the small class size you have a good profile so you can target the same with a strong application), HEC
Competitive (60-70% selection chances) -- ESCP, ESSEC
Safe (70-80% selection chances) -- Bocconi

If you are planning to apply for fall 2020 do let me know I would be happy to help you with your applications. You can check out of All in one service to know more about how I can help you with your applications, school selection, essays, LOR’s scholarships, and interview.

PS - You would be amazed to know the initial 20 minutes call in absolutely free:)

Hey guys, I'm Sanjana Sanjay and right now I live in Bangalore, India.

I have recently been offered admission into the MIM programs at ESSEC and INSEAD. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two and I was hoping you guys could help me out.

ESSEC's programme has been in existence for a long time and its employment report is excellent. Moreover, it gives me more opportunities to work and undertake internships.

INSEAD has started the MIM programme only this year and therefore there are no employment stats or alumni for me to rely on. However, it has outstanding brand value and is considered the place to go to for consulting.

INSEAD has a one year programme while the ESSEC programme is two years.

Given that I aspire to enter the consulting industry, I'm confused between these schools. Do you guys have any advice or recommendations (ignoring the financial aspect of the studies)?

I would highly welcome and appreciate any input :)


Hello Sanjana28,

I am assuming you have less than 2 years of experience. My recommendation would be to go for the ESSEC program.

1. As it's a 2 years program. For someone with less experience - a 2-year program will help more to get the most of the program.
2. Europe values MIM a lot more than in Asia. In terms of job options, post-MIM in Europe is better. ( not considering the current situation).
3. ESSEC has exchange programs to other schools as part of the program. The class is also very diverse in terms of international candidates. Not very sure of INSEAD as it's the first batch.

Hope this helps.

CrackVerbalShree

Thank you so much for the input!

INSEAD doesn't have any exchange programmes; they only offer field trips to a few countries as part of the course.

Given that the campuses of both colleges are in the same areas, my main considerations are the employment prospects and brand value that comes along with doing an MIM from the respective college. With these aspects in mind and in spite of the reputation that INSEAD has globally, would ESSEC still be a better fit?

And also yes, I have less than two years of experience. In fact, I will be graduating from my undergraduate programme in May 2020 and have done only one corporate internship.

Hello MasterSapien,

You have a good profile and a great GMAT score too. If you are currently 1.11 yrs experience, by the time you join the program, you will be more than 2.5 yrs of experience.

According to the LBS MIM website: The MiM is specially designed for recent graduates - so you can join straight from your undergraduate studies. It’s also suitable for those who have completed an internship or have up to two years in the workplace.

I would suggest you send them your resume for review. They will respond to you with your fitment to the program. You might want to consider MBA programs too.

Hi,
I would like to receive a profile evaluation. I'm planning to apply for HEC MiM in round 4, deadline 28th April.

Age: 21 (22 at the beginning of the program, if admitted)
Bachelor degree: Business Administration in Bocconi University, I'll graduate in September. Current GPA: 3,4
CV: unfortunately it's totally empty, I had no work experience for several reasons; I am copartner in a really small family Ltd, do you think I should mention it?
IELTS: 7 (minimum=6, I think I'll highlight 8,5 in reading section)
GMAT: going to take the online version if available in time for the deadline. Expected: 700+ ; I took an official test and I took 690 with a Q49 and V34, I'll work on verbal in these days. I just discovered this excellent forum and I'm sure it'll help me at scoring at least a V37/38, hoping also to improve my quantitative score.

In particular, I'd like to know your opinion about the "penalty" of an empty CV and the eventual GMAT score I should aim to, in order to make up for it and for a not excellent GPA.
What percentage chance do you think I'd have if I scored a 720+ GMAT? I've read that the round 4 for HEC is really hard, and I feel a bit nervous about my profile lackness.
I know that recommandation letters are also important, in fact I'm going to submit two professor letters and maybe a professional one. I'll work a lot also on my essays; but I know GMAT is the most important admission criteria and I would like to focus on it at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Giuseppe


First of all work experience is not mandatory for MiM programs. You can mention your family business in essays. If you got 700+ GMAT score, with a good essay and strong recommendations, your admissions chances will be high. All the best.

I really thank you for your answer!
I know that work experience is not mandatory, but I've read it is an advantage in admission process.
If I got a (for exemple) a 720 GMAT, would it be enough to beat round 4 competition? What percentage chances would I have? I know this round is really hard, but I don't know how difficult it is.

Your GRE converts to a 620 GMAT. This is very low. Honestly, I would consider your chances low for both. What was your class rank? UK schools care about this. Work experience looks OK, but I would say this is a weaker profile for the schools you are looking to apply to.

https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/inter ... ages/india

I couldn't find a class profile with GRE scores for either program, but the link above should help you figure our where you compare.

My advice - retake the test and improve your scores or look at less prominent schools.

Hi yashikaaggarwal,
Every applicant struggles with the dilemma of MiM/ Specialized masters now or MBA later. Ofcourse, when you are investing in an advanced degree, it is very natural (and recommended) to weigh in all the alternatives.
In case you are worried about your chances at Top MiM programs due to lack of work experience - Well your profile is strong as such and with a solid application you do stand a shot at HEC, LBS, ESADE.
Here are a few programs that you can consider as per your profile -
Dream - LBS, LSE, HEC
Competitive - ,IE,ESADE, ESCP, ESSEC,UCL
Safe - Warwick

Scholarship would depend upon a lot of factors - your profile in comparison to other applicants, minority,etc.
For Eg: ESCP waives off the Year 1 Fees for the To 5% of its class
The best strategy here is to focus on getting an admit at a Top school and then focus on bagging a scholarship.

Your lack of work experience is not a competitive disadvantage if you have a strong application and GMAT.
You can take up a profile evaluation to evaluate your chances at these schools - https://www.mim-essay.com/profile-evalu ... evaluation
