Hi everyone,
I’d love to get your advice on my profile and my current application situation. Here’s a summary of my background:
  • Academics:
    • Third-year student at Bocconi University in Milan, studying International Politics and Government.
    • GPA: Good but had some struggles in my first year due to personal issues, significantly improved in my second year.
  • GMAT:
    • 710 (Q50, V35).
  • Work Experience:
    • Internship as an FX Trader Assistant .
    • Consulting internship at local company
    • Secured a summer internship in Paris at Sanso Longchamp (May 2025).
  • Extracurriculars:
    • 5 years of kickboxing.
    • 9 years of show jumping, including a national bronze medal in 2019.
    • Co-founder and manager of an educational platform incubated at Bocconi and ESSEC.
    • Active in a social initiative.
  • Applications:
    • Applied to: HEC, LBS, ESSEC, and INSEAD.
    • Status:
      • HEC: Rejected for MIM interview, now being considered for my second-choice M2M program.
      • LBS: Interview completed; decision coming tomorrow.
      • ESSEC and INSEAD: Awaiting results in January.
[hr]
My Questions:
  1. HEC M2M Chances:
    Since I didn’t get shortlisted for the HEC MIM interview, how realistic are my chances for the M2M program? Should I consider it’s over, or do I still have a shot?
  2. Decision Strategy:
    If I get accepted to LBS, but don’t secure the HEC M2M, what would you advise?
    • Should I pay the LBS deposit and wait for ESSEC’s decision?
    • Between LBS and ESSEC, which would you recommend, considering my goal to pursue a career in finance or management consulting?
Thank you in advance for your insights! Your advice would be invaluable as I navigate these important decisions.

Hi there.
In an effort to answer your questions in that order.

  1. With such a wonderful background why would you wait for a school that does't accept your first choice?
  2. It is not a strategy decision you are creating for yourself, but a rather hedging confusion. :)
    I would encourage you to decide where you wish to study first, and then just decide to be stubborn about it.

Do well, and god bless you.
