Profile Evaluation for MiM [#permalink] New post   03 Jun 2023, 02:47
Hi, I am looking for MiM(HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, etc.) in Europe, the UK, and Ireland.

Background and nationality: 25-year-old Indian
Undergrad Information: BTech Computer from NMIMS University, Mumbai with CGPA of 3.11/4
GRE: 316 (can definitely retake GRE or take GMAT)
IELTS: 7.5
Work experience: 2 years (at the time of applying, can leave the job if work ex will be a lot for MiM)

Leadership:
-Dance Committee of MPSTME – SubHead
• Organized cultural events at the university
• Headed in choreographing various performances for dance competitions
-Marketing Cell of MPSTME - SubHead
• Coordinated logistics and managed events organized by the committee.

Internships: I have done 2 internships, one in Larson and Toubro Infotech and the other in Majesco Ptv Ltd.

Extracurriculars: Dancing since childhood, a district-level basketball player in school, and drums grade 1 certified

I'm really curious to know if I have a good chance to get into good Bschools for MiM. If not MiM, which other management courses can I target?

Hi Arushi (@Arushij26014)

- To begin with, it would help to have some more context into your work experience and your goals. You have a good overall profile - decent (though not outstanding) academics, and good leadership roles and contributions. The goals and experience can often help decide between an MiM and an MBA.
- With 2 years of experience already, you could consider the MBA. Some programs (such as the LBS MiM) will not consider you because you already have this experience, and you are already knocking on the doors of the MBA, suitability and eligibility-wise.
- Your GRE score needs to improve, by ~10+ points. 316 can get you a consideration in some programs, but a 325+ is needed to target the best ones. In case you decide to still apply to MiM programs, you can target ESCP, EDHEC, and ESADE with this score, and also apply to ESSEC though with relatively lower chances at ESSEC. HEC/LBS/INSEAD will be hard to target with this score.
- Please also go through this article. It will be helpful.

All the best and feel free to come back with more questions here.

Hi Arushij2604,

Your academic performance is decent, your GRE score is on the lower side for top programs (MiM/MBA/MS), and it would be beneficial to retake the exam to aim for a higher score of 325+, and your IELTS score of 7.5 is good.

Your leadership experience as SubHead of the Dance Committee and Marketing Cell and your involvement in dancing, basketball and music adds diversity to your profile and could be significant strengths in your applications.

Having 2 years of work experience at the time of application is fine for MiM programs since they generally prefer candidates with limited professional experience. It is never a good idea to quit your job to prepare for tests or for applications. If things do not go as planned, you will end up having an unnecessary career that would need to be explained on your future applications. If you are open to considering other management courses apart from MiM, you could explore MBA programs (many programs require 2 years minimum work ex) or specialized master's programs in your field of interest, or even gain more work experience and apply for MBA programs later in your career.

Good luck!

Hi Arushij2604, I am an INSEAD alum, and I have served as an admissions interviewer at INSEAD, so I hope I can provide valuable insights to address your concerns.

As someone who has gained two years of significant professional experience, it seems that you are placing a lot of emphasis on your extracurricular activities and leadership experiences from your college days. It is important to rectify this approach and allocate the appropriate attention to each aspect of your profile, particularly your work experience. Many MiM applicants mistakenly believe that downplaying their work experience can help them secure admission to top MiM programs. However, this is not the right strategy. Presenting a comprehensive view of what you have learned as a professional over the past two years and explaining how an MiM program can propel your career in a new industry and location will make a more convincing argument.

Your GRE score is relatively low for top MiM programs like INSEAD and HEC Paris. Strong storytelling can compensate for this to only some extent, so if you want to stay competitive in your strategy for HEC, you should consider a retake. The higher your score, the better, but attaining for a 325+ will definitely boost your confidence.

Feel free to speak with me regarding your profile or if you want to understand more about opportunities post MiM/MBA.

Hi Arushij2604,

Apologies for the delayed response but we hope this finds you in time still.

First things first, please do not quit your job to prepare for the GRE/GMAT; a gap that coincides with your prep will have an adverse impact on your application.

Coming to the degree you should target; with two years of work experience, you can even consider an MBA; the strategy should be to first improve your GRE score; frankly, time doesn't appear to be a concern; so, you should improve your score (even if that takes some time) and target top-notch MBA programs.

Hope this helps.

All the best!
