Profile evaluation - Chilean applying for MiM

Hello Critical Square,

I am a Chilean lawyer who wants to pursue a Masters in Management program in Europe (target schools: Stockholm School of Economics, Bocconi, ESCP, ESSEC and HEC). I look forward to combine my specialty in international business law and corporate governance with studies in management, in particular strategical and organizational topics, due to the natural overlap that law and management have in this area. Therefore, my main goal is to work later in consultancy in both these topics, using my analytical law skills and my awareness of the importance of legal issues as an advantage. As as back up plan, I could return to my country and aim to become legal manager of a company, as my profile would be very unique in my country.

I know my GMAT quant scores are very low (no surprise, I am a lawyer). I've been thinking of taking some MOOCs in finance and accounting so I can show the adcoms that I have a real desire to improve my quant skills and that my low quant scores are due to lack of formal education in this subject rather than lack of capabilities.


Thank you very much in advance for you help. Highly appreciated!!
