Masters in Management Profile Evaluation by MiM-Essay.com

Hi ayashwanth,

Your profile is suitable for MBA Programs. I would have been able to suggest schools better if I had details on the exact no.of years of work ex. and the company names. Otherwise you have a pretty holistic profile as such.
I would suggest you to re-take the GMAT as with a 700+ score you will be able to apply for top 20 MBA programs.
If you share more profile details, I will be able to help you out with some school suggestions

Hi

I would like to receive a profile evaluation.

I’m a B. Tech graduate from BITS (GPA 8/10)

IELTS 8
GMAT 680

I have 1.5 years of work experience- 1 year full-time and have done 2 internships for 3 months each.

Extracurricular- during college, I was a member science and technology club, debating society, sports, and social & environment club.

Which European schools should I aim for?

Hi there

Altogether your profile looks fairly good.
Precisely, your GPA and GMAT score are quite satisfactory.
In fact, being a B. Tech graduate from BITS is a striking point because it associated a brand name to your profile. However, you shall not overlook the fact that you’d be competing with applicants from reputed schools from across the globe.
Speaking of your work experience, it’s a strong factor that you hold 1.5 yrs work ex and have done 2 internships as well. This would enable you to showcase your profile strengths and proficiency in the roles you have undertaken in your application.
Moreover, your extracurricular engagements would enable you to present yourself as a well-rounded candidate. Schools are more than happy to solicit applicants who have displayed satisfactory performance both within and outside the classroom.


Here are some of the well-known European schools offering the MiM program and on which you can set your sight on-
Dream -HEC Paris, University of St Gallen,
Competitive-Essec Business School,ESCP, UCD, WHU,ESMT
Safe - Emlyon, Grenoble

If we're saying ESADE is competitive, then would I be right in categorizing ESSEC/HEC as dream with 20-30% chances of admission? What about ESCP and RSM? And what schools would I have an 80%+ chance at?

Hi GalladeAggron,
Schools where you have 80%+ chances of selection are your safe schools - In your case they would be Skema, Grenoble, EADA, TIAS
.ESSEC will not be dream for you, it will be competitive along with ESADE, RSM where you have around 45%-70% selection chances.
Dream would be HEC, IE with 30%-45% selection chances.
Your profile is stronger for 20% selection chances in your dream schools

If you are applying this year and need help in maximizing your selection chances in your target schools , you can book a personal consulting call with me here: https://www.mim-essay.com/book-an-appoi ... ppointment

Applying for MS in Canada.What are some good sites that do profile evaluation for applying for MS in Canada?

Hi DivyaRai,


Hey There,

Getting your profile evaluated is a great idea - In fact, I always recommend a profile evaluation as the first step before starting out with the whole process of finalizing schools.

Now, there are a lot of profile evaluators (I myself tried a lot of them when I was applying for Masters back in 2014). However, they did not give me an ideal analysis that I was hoping for. Here are some problems that I faced with the online evaluators:
The evaluation is more of an “opinion”- rather than a scientific analysis
The evaluation was too generic ( Eg: Anything below a 8.0 GPA was considered to be low)
The Evaluation did not give me the next action steps on the courses that were the best fit for me

Now, I have come a long way since then - I finished my Masters ESCP Europe, went on to work in France for a few years and then eventually founded MiM-Essay.com, an application consulting company for MiM and Specialized Masters like MS,MEM, MS analytics,etc.

One of the first things that I ensured while founding this company was to create a cutting edge profile evaluation algorithm.

Here is why the algorithm really works out for applicants across the globe:

We have analyzed the real time data on how schools evaluate an applicant profile. Through this analysis, we have allocated a specific weightage to each element of the profile ( Eg: 10/% for academics, 22.5% for work ex and so on)
The Evaluation gives you an insight into your profile strengths and weaknesses
You will also be given recommendations on how to improve your profile ( Eg: If you are low on academics, you will be given pointers on how to compensate for the same)
The evaluation gives you a profile score through which you can analyze which schools fit your profile the best

We have evaluated more than 10,000 profiles till date and I am sure you will find the insights valuable.

Thanks a ton!
Yes, the evaluation was very helpful, though I am thinking to apply to a Business Masters now rather than a Tech Masters (not decided though)
BTW, do you think 318 is a good GRE Score for Masters in Engineering Management?

Hi @DivyaRa,

MEM (Masters in Engineering Management) is a degree that is specially designed for students with a technical background who wish to step into managerial shoes. The degree builds a link between engineering and management and if you are someone from an engineering background, who does not wish to leave the core technical field and at the same time gain some knowledge of management based subjects, this degree might be an ideal fit for you. Coming to your question, 318 GRE score might or might not be a good score for you because it totally depends on the school and their cut-offs. Your score might be ideal for schools like USC, Purdue, TUFTS University, etc. However, schools like Cornell, MIT, etc. fall under the category of dream schools and you need to have a score of at least 320 for it. You can consider giving the GRE once again if you want to strictly aim for tier-1 schools only. Another option is that you can go on for tier-2 schools which are also pretty decent and give good returns on your investment. However, please keep in mind that there are several other factors that count towards getting admitted. Your GPA, GRE, work experience or internships, and many other aspects of your profile contribute towards your selection chances and since we have no idea about your profile.

To be honest, 318 is not an extraordinary score but I am sure that it can land you up in a pretty good school if you have a stellar application, followed by a strong interview preparation. Since I have no idea about your overall profile, I cannot comment on the other aspects. I suggest you should try our free profile evaluation tool where you can fill in all the details of your academic and professional experience along with your GRE score, and you will get a list of schools that you can target.

Hey p05eid0n,

I’d like to begin by saying that you have a pretty decent profile.

Addressing the strong suits of your profile, you have an excellent GPA.
Although you haven’t mentioned your undergrad program/ major, your GPA- 8.7/10 will keep your doors open to a number of good schools.

Since you don’t have full-time work experience, you need not worry. It wouldn’t really turn out to as a hindrance because MIM is an early-career graduate degree program aimed towards students with 0-2 years of work experience.

So, to account for the same, your internships come into the play. You can draft a strong application by highlighting your motive to take up those internships, the roles you undertook, and your key learning. In short, showcasing your contributions and impact would help create a persuasive application.

Further, your leadership roles such as Student Ambassador, Placement Co-ordinator, etc. will help you effectively showcase leadership and various other skills. And through your extracurricular and hobbies inclined towards sports, you can exhibit your team-building skills, hard work, and how you take up challenges and perform under pressure.



Although you have a decent profile, you must note that you would be competing with candidates having great profiles. So, to set you apart from the competition, a strong application that highlights your strengths and focuses on your academic and professional journey will rightly help convey your fit for the school, thereby increasing your chances of acceptance.

Reckoning on your target GMAT score, any score above 700 would be great and help you break into the top MiM schools.

Thus, given your profile, you can target several top MiM schools. Yet it’s ideal to target a mix of schools from the dream, competitive, and safe category. For instance, from the dream category, you can target schools such as HEC. LBS, LSE, Duke, Cornell, etc. In the competitive school’s category, you can look into ESSEC, ESCP, Esade, FSFM. And as for the safe school, there are several great schools such as the University of Bath, Lancaster University, Kedge, Cranfield, IESEG, Neoma Business Schools, etc.

As you are in the early stages of your application, feel free to book a FREE Counselling Session with our consultants who can help you decide the ideal schools that best match your profile and how you can apply to various merit-based scholarships so you are in time for the first round of applications.

Hey pinakin2456,

You have a pretty decent profile.

Beginning your evaluation with your academic background, I’d say you’ve maintained a fair GPA, however since you haven’t mentioned the brand of your university, I would like to inform you that the brand also matters since B-schools tend to pick applicants from the top 10 universities of the respective countries. Thus, you will be competing against applicants from colleges like IITs and NITs. However, that can be compensated by drawing attention to your extracurriculars, a strong GMAT score and a strong application that showcases how you have grown at your own university.
As far as the GMAT goes, a score of 690 and above, would surely allow you to target the MiM programs in top schools. You should definitely aim to score as high as you can since a strong GMAT score would bolster the AdComs confidence in your academic abilities and improve your acceptance chances.

Moving on, as you have not mentioned a lot of details about your extracurricular activities, I’d like to let you know that Extracurricular participation plays an important role in strengthening your applications as B-schools are on the hunt for all-rounder profiles. Hence, it is essential to shed some light on the endeavours you have taken up at any clubs, associations, sports, fests or events you managed or participated in during your undergrad. While the chess experience is impressive, you should dig deeper into your tech fest and inter-college experiences and bring out varied skills in your profile or seek to build in this area if the need be. Furthermore, Adding any kind of volunteering experience to your profile would help bolster your application since B-schools are looking for applicants with an inclination for social change. So joining an NGO would help to showcase your ability to empathize with other people and help develop your profile more holistically.

As far as your internship experience goes, you ought to explain and highlight the major projects of your work and how these experiences helped to develop and further groom your skills and knowledge. Highlight why you chose these firms, how you have gone beyond the role, any initiatives you took and any kind of impact created to establish a connection with your goals and portray the knowledge gained from these experiences. Properly highlighting this would allow you to stand at par with candidates with more extensive work experience hailing from big 4 brands. That said, connecting your work experience and your decision to pursue a masters is very important.

Coming to shortlisting the right schools for your profile, whenever you are applying to schools abroad, it is always ideal to target a mix of dream, competitive, and safe schools. To help you understand better, I’ve suggested a few schools that you could be targeting according to the different categories.

DREAM: HEC, INSEAD, LBS, LSE
Competitive: ESSEC, ESCP, FSFM, IE, ESADE
Safe: Grenoble, Skema, EDHEC

Looking at your profile you have a 50% chance of getting into the dream category, 60% chance of getting admitted to the schools in the Competitive category and an 80% chance of getting admitted in the schools in the safe category. To increase your chances of getting admitted at these schools you would need to ensure that you have a very strong application consisting of well-drafted Essays, LORs and resume to back your profile. You need to showcase your journey, what makes you different from your peers and how you are a great value addition to the school. A strong application increases your chances of acceptance by up to 30%.

Further, if you need a more in-depth profile evaluation for a thorough understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, ways to build your profile further and a more comprehensive and personalized list of target schools you can email us your resume at [email protected] and you can check our comprehensive all in one solution that has helped thousands of applicants get into their dream schools including schools like HEC, LSE and LBS!
