Before we dig into potential schools in the US and UK, can you tell me more about what you are targeting in an MBA program? What are your key criteria? What do you want to study? What do you want to pursue post-MBA? These are critical questions in helping a candidate build a suitable application list.

Also, while we can build a provisional list, not having a GMAT (or GRE) score will make it very difficult. It is an important consideration in determining your chances of admission. Have you taken any practice tests? Do you have an anticipated range you can share?

Let us know so we can be of help on all of the above.

Hello!

I would request a profile evaluation. I'm a 22 year old Indian female and my other details are as below:

Undergraduation: Bachelors of Commerce from Delhi University; CGPA: 8.7/10 ~ 3.6/4
12th: 95%
10th: 10/10 CGPA
GMAT: 640 (Q47 V32)
IELTS: Awaiting result
Work Experience: 1-year experience @ Big4 as Business Analyst
Extracurricular activities:
- I was the Vice President of my college's Management cell; led a team of 60+ members; organized various programs and events at the University as well as Inter-University level.
- I was also appointed as the Marketing Head of our college's TEDx society for 2 years straight and led a team of 30+ members
- Did 3 internships in college (HR, Sales & Marketing, Relationship Manager)
- Have a keen interest in photography and have secured two 1st positions in inter-college events
- Have my own Instagram food blog

I'm mostly looking at schools in Europe and UK. Could you please let me know if I should target LBS, HEC, INSEAD?

Admissionado · Answer

Mitochondria : Assuming we're talking about the MBA programs (and not master degrees), I don't think you will be a viable candidate for LBS, INSEAD and HEC right now. The two major issues are your GMAT score and limited full-time work experience. If you want to target these top programs in the EU/UK, I would suggest waiting a couple of years and improving your GMAT by at least 60 points. You have really interesting elements to your profile, but it all needs more work. If my team or I can be of help, please don't hesitate to reach out for a free consultation: https://admissionado.com/free-consultation/

Hi! I am looking for Masters in Management and not MBA. Sorry for not mentioning that already

Admissionado · Answer

Mitochondria :

Thanks for clarifying! The good news is that your work and internship experience is appropriate. Anymore experience and you might be overqualified for a master degree.

The bad news is that your GMAT score is still sub-par for these programs. Masters degree programs don't have quite the same threshold but it's still relatively high for these selective programs. To make matters worse, you are coming from a competitive demographic, so the bar is even higher for candidates such as yourself.

Therefore, you can either retake the GMAT and hope to improve your score (as close to 700 as possible) or you can drop down in the rankings to build your list. I fear that a 640 will be a deal breaker for HEC, LBS and INSEAD.
