Hey tk20000!

I would like to begin the profile evaluation with your academic background. While your academic GPA of 7.3 is average, an undergraduate degree from a tier 1 college can help you stand out and boost your profile, as top business schools prefer applicants from tier 1 colleges. Furthermore, the fact that you completed and published five research papers throughout your undergraduate studies attests to your academic prowess and exhibits clarity of concepts. As for the GMAT scores, given that you are expecting scores somewhere between 720-730, you should be able to target most of the top schools for the MIM program.

Coming to the professional work experience, you have only 1 internship as a Research Associate at IIT-BHU. In addition to that, you have good entrepreneurial endeavours, evident from the fact that you are managing an online marketplace with a good amount of allied learning attached to it. However, you should be aware that you will be competing with applicants hailing from the Big Four firms, having multiple endeavours under their belt. Thus it becomes imperative that you demonstrate how you went above and beyond during your practical experiences by highlighting the kinds of projects you worked on, the impacts you made, and the major takeaways from the same. Furthermore, now that you have graduated, I would recommend you to explore job opportunities to enhance your profile with a bigger brand value.

As far as extracurricular activities go, they are also an important aspect of your profile and play an important role in strengthening your application. Participation in extracurriculars can be a great way to showcase a holistic profile and varied skills under the belt. Being a member of Enactus, NSS, and WWF contributes to your social volunteering experiences which showcases your ability to create a positive impact and empathize with other people. Since business schools are always looking for future leaders, make sure to highlight the qualities and the skills garnered during the process. In order to further groom your profile, you can also take up some additional certification courses to showcase your drive to constantly upskill yourself.

In response to your question, it is strongly advised that you give the GMAT exam at the earliest. Keep in mind that the Round 2 acceptance deadlines will fall in December and January for the 2022 intake. Thus, make sure you have your GMAT scores before beginning the application process.

Moving forward, based on the information you've provided, here's a breakdown of the schools that you are targeting.

St. Gallen will fall under the Ultra Dream Category with a 20% chance of acceptance
HEC and LBS will fall under the Dream Category with a 40-50% chance of acceptance.
ESSEC, Imperial and ESCP will fall under the Competitive Category with a 60-70% chance of acceptance

All things considered, in order to increase your chances of getting admitted to these schools, you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application that highlights your strengths and overshadows your weaknesses. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers, and how you are a great value addition to the school.

Therefore, in lieu of that, I would recommend you to check out our flagship ALL-IN-ONE service, which has helped 5000+ applicants get into their dream schools. You would also be entitled to end-to-end consulting combined with unlimited edits on your application documents. Not only this, you’d be consulted by a B-school alumnus who’d be helping you directly with your application process, right from finalising the right schools and submitting an impactful application to the school to preparing you for the interview and bagging scholarships!

Hey Msknpuri!

I would first like to mention that you certainly have a promising profile for the MIM program. Having said that, let's begin your profile evaluation with your academic qualifications. You have received excellent grades throughout your education, and your strong undergraduate GPA of 9.79 attests to your academic prowess. As for the GMAT, a score of 690 is ideal for most top-notch colleges and would easily allow you to target the listed schools.

Coming to the extracurricular activities, they are also a vital part of your profile since they bring out varied skills under your belt. Your profile shines even more in this area since you have been very proactive with your participation in the extracurricular front. You have good leadership experience, evident by your time as president of ENACTUS, which are further backed by various achievements during your undergraduate. Your numerous endeavours demonstrate strong characteristics such as leadership abilities, a socially responsible attitude, persistent desire to upskill oneself, broadened perspective, adaptability, and a creative personality - all the traits which are highly valued by business schools, thus making you an ideal candidate for the MIM program.

As for the work experience, you have a good amount of varied internship experience. However, one thing to be noted is that you lack a big brand name, and you should be cognizant of the fact that you will be competing with applicants having completed their internships from some of the top brands with the likes of EY, KPMG, and Deloitte. Thus here it becomes imperative that you talk about the major learnings from these experiences. On the plus side, working on a startup goes on to highlight your entrepreneurial abilities which can be perceived as good value addition and would allow you to differentiate yourself from the competition. Your entrepreneurial experience has valuable allied learning attached to it and thus you must emphasise it to present profile differentiators. You must highlight the kind of projects that you have worked on, impacts created, teams you have led and how have you managed to take the startup to the next level.

Having said that all, based on the information you've provided, here's a breakdown of the schools that you can target

LBS and WHU will fall under the Dream Category with a 40-50% chance of acceptance.
While ESCP and ESMT will fall under the Competitive Category with 60 to 70% chances of acceptance

Moreover, in order to hedge your bets wisely, you can also target other competitive schools
Such as LSE and INSEAD which will fall under the Dream Category while Imperial and ESADE under the competitive category.

All things considered, in order to increase your chances of getting admitted to these schools, you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application that highlights your strengths and overshadows your weaknesses. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers, and how you are a great value addition to the school.

Therefore, in lieu of that, I would recommend you to check out our flagship ALL-IN-ONE service, which has helped 5000+ applicants get into their dream schools.

Hi, I would like to make an important update on French schools for international candidates.

In France, the system is very very elitist. Really HEC and ESSEC will take the most important jobs in business. There is also SciencesPo and Polytechnique. These 4 schools make most of the elite positions in France.

You take a "risk" (moderate but true) if you go to ESCP, EM Lyon, Edhec. These schools are not bad, but in that case, you better go to a leading school in an another country in Europe or in the world (EXCEPT if you want to stay in France).

HEC is really by far the best school to go to. ESSEC is a good school but less known on an international scale than HEC.

What I am saying is that you will be behind all these candidates in job interviews and for the rest of your career. France is a very very elitist country, where studies have an abnormal importance (which I find totally ridiculous but it is true and very observable in promotions throughout your career).

Especially if you come from abroad, do take it into account this advice. Also, do not expect French people to speak English. You better be fluent in French or else finding a job will be super hard.

To summarise, be open and it is always better to go to a leading B-schools in a country for future opportunities. With regards to countries with excellent opportunities, I can recommend the UK, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, etc...

Also, when choosing your schools take into consideration the price of your degree. Students are not cash-cows and shame on the schools that ask extraordinarily high prices for their degrees

All the best with your choices

Hello everybody,
I would like to have my profile evaluated for the following B-Schools in Europe: EDHEC,ESCP, and ESSEC MiM Program.

I am 21y/o from India and I pursued a BBA with a specialization in Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure (GPA 4).

During my undergrad, I was chosen as the only undergraduate VP of the main student committee (the rest were MBAs). I participated in several extra curricular activities (debates, singing, organizing, managing and hosting events, etc.) and won a few.

I have 2 internship experiences. Both were remote experiences due to Covid. One was at a nationally recognized Real Estate Org, and the other was at a Real Estate Startup. My role in the second experience was very broad - a combination of Business Development and Market Strategy.

GMAT 650 but my score is a bit skewed. I'll be taking the CAT exam in India as I've read that these colleges also accept CAT scores for Indian applicants. I'm taking the IELTS next month.

I volunteer for an international company that provides free meditation resources - I help with translations in Indian languages.

I will have two academic and one professional recommendation letter from my internship workplace.

What are my chances at these schools? If yes, are there any more schools in the same ranks that I must be targeting? Will my GMAT Score get me through? If not, what kind of CAT scores must I be aiming for?

Hello, I would like to have a profile evaluation:

I am Italian,
On July 2022 I will be graduated in Economics and Management (bachelor degreee in Italian) at Luiss University, the second best university in Italy (GPA 3.94)
Expected Bachelor final Degree: 110 cum laude/110
ERASMUS (semester abroad): Paris school of business. in Paris.
Age: 20
Previous work experience: 1 month full-time internship as Account intern at Pavillion Hotels and Resorts Group.
IELTS 7.00
GMAT 650 (Q 49 V 30)
Program I am interested in: MiM
Dream business school: Bocconi, HEC, Imperial, LSE, LBS, ESSEC
Extracurricular activities: volunteer at Caritas Italia (Caritas works as part of the Church to raise awareness on issues around charity, care for those in need and promote the importance of concrete actions for the poor)

What do you think about my profile, do I have any chance?
Thank you in advance

Thanks for reviewing these; you guys are a big help!

Short Version: rock-solid work experience, rock-solid extracurricular, rock-solid GMAT, rock bottom GPA xD

Target: top 1-year MiM programs (recognizable in South East Asia) such as LBS, HSG, Insead, and IE. I aim to get into strategy consulting, preferably at the MBB firms, then do my 1-year MBA in 3-4 years. Please feel free to recommend any other programs that would be a good fit.

Background: 23-year-old male, from Thailand, final year (5 out of the usual 4) Communication Arts student at the top university in my country

Work Experience/Extracurricular:

-20+ nonschool leadership roles, including as a Department Head in a $1.3M series production (one of the largest in my country)
-Built student businesses with $16,000 in revenue, marketing strategies with 1,000,000+ organic reach, and pitched a startup
-Multiple international experiences, including two exchange programs, working abroad, working with foreigners, and coordinating with three international teams
-VP of the student council, VP of a club, lead organizer of three events
-Some 10+ freelance projects, including screenwriting two series and winning two national short film awards
-More in the attached resume, or here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-LNZdE3tKtIqDYIYsGYHdBNHkqqM7BIu/view?usp=sharing

GMAT: Potentially 730+ (got 660, Q42 V38 IR7, on my first official mock attempt with zero preparation)

GPA: 2.3/4 (CGPA: 5.75/10) due to working nearly full-time, focusing entirely on building a portfolio (was aiming to enter the film industry, where no one look at your GPA), overcoming depression and a family financial crisis, switching from an international curriculum to a Thai one, and switching minor near the end of my studies.

Essays: I think I can do above average here; I specialize in screenwriting and storytelling.

Recommendations: will most likely be from film professors and film directors; may not be the best for a business school, but we are close enough I can write pretty much anything

Questions:

-Is it possible to apply to programs, like the ones from LBS, that have a minimum GPA of 3.3?
-What are my chances for the top schools?
-How much GMAT will I need for them?
-I only learned about MiMs last week; should I apply this March or wait until next year?
-How are my chances with scholarships?
-Which points should I raise when addressing my GPA?

Thanks again, everyone!
