Hey @addsmynam,
You have a pretty decent profile.
Given your academic background, you have a 4.0 GPA- which showcases your academic prowess.
And graduating from a top school in London would certainly embellish your profile with a brand name.
Adding to this, your research project also displays your academic capabilities and how you can apply your theoretical knowledge to practical problems and create a substantial impact.
Your certifications are pretty decent too and the fact that you even received a scholarship for that further strengthens your profile by displaying your academic excellence.
You have pretty strong work experience as you have done an internship in a leading company, JP Morgan. In your application, you can highlight your roles, projects, learning, and takeaways and how this internship experience shaped your knowledge base. You can further strengthen your profile by taking up another internship in a reputed company and gaining more work experience.
Through your extracurricular, you can effectively showcase your leadership and other soft skills. Your experience as a student representative showcases your leadership abilities, and the fact that you further upgraded your school curriculum conveys your abilities to create a substantial impact in your roles. For a more well-rounded profile, you can further build on your extracurricular by taking up some volunteering work.
Your international experience can be an interesting point to address in your application as it depicts your adaptability to settle in a diverse environment.
Your target schools such as HEC, LBS, and LSE fall into the dream category, meaning that you have a 40-50% chance of getting into their programs. While ESSEC and ESCP are competitive schools with 60-70% chances of getting in.
You have no doubt a good profile, but you must consider the fact that you will be competing against several applicants with profiles like yours. Hence, it is highly crucial to back up your profile with an application that aptly highlights all your strong suits and can set you apart from your competition.
Alongside a great application, a strong GMAT score also comes into play. So, a score anywhere above 710 would open your doors to several schools.
