Hello,
I'm interested in doing MiM and am planning to apply in Sept 2024. The colleges i want to go to :
1. INSEAD, France
2. Duke Fuqua
3. UMichigan, Ross
4. ESCP, France
5. ESSEC, France
I graduated in 2023 with a Btech in CSE with a specialization in Cyber Security.
I published a paper under an international conference in Machine learning.
My GPA is 7.91/10 which is a 3/4
I wrote my GRE recently and scored 311 ( 150V, 161Q)
I wrote my GMAT last year and scored 620 ( 30V, 46Q, 5 AWA, 2IR)
My work ex:
I am currently working in PwC as an associate as a full time employee. ( it's been 2 months)
I interned at PwC as a tech consultant for 6 months
I did a summer internship in Tech Mahindra in Business Operations.
I was a Teaching assistant in our colleges entrepreneurship and innovation centre.
I co founded a startup in college in the AR space. We qualified till semi finals in our countries Startup competition held by the Electronics & IT ministry.
Unfortunately the startup venture fell through.
My extra curriculars ( which I think are my strong suit)
I was the head of game development club. I organised and led an event which successfully had over 100 students as participants.
I am a core member of Debate club and social media head.
I have participated in around 6 tournaments out of which I have won in 2 and broke as an adjudicator in 1.
I ran a small business of crochet in my apartment in one of my summers
I had 2 extremely successful bake sales whose contributions went to NGOs.
My short term goal : I want to be a part of the business and management industry, i want to learn a lot more. I see myself in the consultant industry for the next few years.
I also would like to get into the finance industry. Hoping to give my CFA after Post graduation ( not sure of this yet! )
My long term goal : I want to start my own company, and as a prerequisite , i want to have the knowledge of finance and management to the level I have of CS
I would like to know:
1. Is my profile strong enough for my Target colleges?
2. Which score would you recommend i submit? GRE/GMAT.
( Im concerned that my scores might overshadow my extra curriculars and other skills. I hope that's not the case)
Thank you so much for reading through all this and giving me valuable feedback!
Truly Grateful,
Sarah

GRE/ GMATs are used by schools as a predictor of your capacity to be able to take the rigour of the courses they teach.
While a higher GRE/ GMAT would definitely strengthen your application a lot, I would strongly suggest you start with your current scores, and parallelly prepare for another attempt at GRE/ GMAT as well. Worst case scenario your scores don't improve, and you would have decent chances at the lower ones in your list; however, if you are able to improve your scores, your profile may be great for all of your targets.

1. The exam score (particularly verbal) is a bit on the lower side considering some programs in your list are quite competitive. I'd suggest a retake if possible to increase the chances.
2. Your work experiences and start-up venture are interesting and can potentially differentiate you from the competitive pool. Would suggest introspecting on the key skills you picked up, and how those can translate to your journey in/ post MiM. Also having compelling responses to the following can help: why MiM, why consulting, why you (i.e. vs competition) and how the MiM (and the particular school) can position you well for your target roles.
3. EC's offer good talking points for essays. Would suggest understanding your target schools a bit deeper to highlight the points/ topics that resonate with them most.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.
