Hi All,
Request you to please evaluate my profile and career goal for HEC Paris MBA.

* B.A. in Economics (Remote Education - Under leave of absence)

- GMAT: (Aug/11, Once)
* Verbal (38/83%) / Quantitative (48/80%) / Total (700/90%) / AWA 4.0

- TOEFL:
* iBT 102

- Work Experience:
* 2 years as a field engineer at a refinery
* 2 years as an assitant project manager in an EPC company - Mainly in charge of project management/budgeting of EPC plant projects in the Middle East

- Internation / Cultural Exposure:
* Professional:
Involved in a project in the Middle East (1.5 years) - Client from the Middle East / Multi-national managment consulting staffs
* Personal:
7 months long transcontinental expedition by bicycle (from China to France) / Multi-cultural exposure

- Career Vision
* Short Term : Project Management / Financing in Energy Businesses (Especially Oil & Gas Sector)
* Long Term : Project Manager at private or national energy giants.


I am highly interested in HEC Paris because of its "Energy and Finance Certificate" and its location.

Just trying to identify and weak-points that I should address or strengths I should emphasize given my background.

Thanks in advance~!

I think your GMAT score and international experience (kudos on that exceptional bike ride!) will interest HEC Paris, but I worry that your years of work experience may be a bit light. Since you are from Korea, you probably served in the Korean military. If you were an officer or served in a similarly interesting role with leadership, you should certainly draw upon these experiences in your application as well to buttress that weaker work experience.
