Hello people, please help me clear this doubt


I am from India
I have completed my Btech in 4.5 years instead of 4 years in Jan 2021 (Started 2016)
• During my Btech, due to participation in as yearbook design head and few other reasons like (attending SSB interview 3 times for 10 days each, for few semesters, I have been absent in final exams or was restricted due to low attendance. In those subjects, I haven’t given the final exams. Those are marked as “N” grades in my grade sheets. Which are mentioned as incomplete courses/Absent courses and not failed courses. These are spread out across my whole Btech. Also, subjects where I have given Final exams and I have failed to clear are given by “F” grades. So, my doubt is
i have a very good profile with some great extra ordinary extra curricular, only thing i am lacking behind is the number of backlogs i am having in my Btech
History of F grades i have in Btech grade sheets:9
History of N grades i have in Btech grade sheets:22


Since N grades were marked as incomplete/absent courses will those be counted under backlogs or can i pas through this obstacle somehow?
i am specially trying for US and UK. So does colleges there consider absent courses as backlogs?
PS: i am a graduate now and i have cleared everything


also, i can mention medical conditions since the N grades are spread out across every semester in few of the subjects


thanks for the help in advance

I'm considering quitting my job for GMAT since it is difficult to manage both. I have worked for around 6 months now at KPMG. Would it be a negative on my profile if I quit?

Hi,
Nationality: Indian
Course: MSc Finance
GPA: 9.19/10
GMAT: 620 (Q49, V26) expect it to increase at least to 680 on a retake.
Work Experience: 6months equity trader, 1-month equity research internship
Undergrad: Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics ( Bachelors in Financial Markets )
ECs - Yt Football related channel with 30k subs (If it helps)

The problem is I complete my undergrad in July 2019. Got the job in Nov 2019 but lost it in April 2019 due to covid. I got into the Frankfurt School of finance and mgt(Masters in finance) without a scholarship. I am thinking of taking 1 more gap, in that year I will improve my GMAT to at least 680, will have 6 months of experience in IB(internship) and will give my CFA in November. Do you think so that because it will almost 3 years since I have completed my undergrad, this 1 year will have a negative impact on my profile and chances of getting into good colleges in Europe and Canada(Mcgill MMF)?

Target college - RSM Msc Fin and Inv, SSE MSc Fin, Mcgill MMF.
Do you guys think so that it is worth waiting 1 more year for these colleges When I have already got into Frankfurt school?
I will be 23 by the time the Frankfurt school program starts and will be 24 by the program starts next year. Do you think my age will be an issue because MSC finance is usually a pre-experience program?

Hi guys, this is my profile.

Male, Italian, 22 years old.
Currently pursuing a double degree in Business and Economics between an Italian and a Dutch University.
Italian GPA of 29.1/30 (1.2 into German grading system).
630 GMAT.
600 hours internship at the entrepreneurship center of my University; developed a startup project, raised a few thousands of euros of funds and received different prizes.
+2 years of volunteering in a global service organization.
2 years of student representative activity.
Two semesters abroad in the Netherlands (because of the double degree).

I'll apply for the MMM - Mannheim Master in Management (English track).
How would you assess my chances?

The selection process considers:
- Max. 60 points for GPA (I'd get 56/60 with a 1.2 GPA);
- 22 points for semester abroad (I'd get 22/22);
- Max. 60 points for GMAT (3 points for any 10 points over 600; I'd get 9/60);
- Max 6 points for internship and relevant extracurricular activities (I'd get 2 or 3 points/6);

Total score: 89/148.
Do you think that's enough?
