Hi folks, would appreciate if anyone could help evaluate my profile:
22, Indian Male;
Graduated with Bachelor of Business Administration (major in finance) from a well known university (not top 10);
Was the Head of a college society.
GPA of 7.7/10 (reason behind low GPA is because I was focused on clearing Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams and gaining a financial modeling certificate);
Currently have 11 months of work experience in the field of Valuation, working for a medium size fast growing financial services firm;
I plan to take the GMAT soon, and I aim to score between 710-740;
I'm aiming for front office finance roles like PE, VC, or Hedge Fund.
Do you I have a chance at INSEAD MIM, HEC MIM, IE MFin, or Imperial MFin?

neelo29 - some thoughts on your profile:
1. Your work in Valuations is interesting, and can potentially present some transferable skills to front-office roles. It would be important to link your skills/ experiences to your career goals and how an MiM/ MFin can help with the transition. Since roles in PE/ VC and Hedge Funds are quite competitive and some (not all) require local language/ culture proficiency, speaking to alum in these roles and understanding hiring patterns can help.
2. The GPA is a bit on the lower side, but a strong GMAT score can help offset concerns there. Aiming for atleast 20 points higher than your target school's average would be ideal, given the competitive Indian Male applicant pool.
3. Since there's limited info on ECs, I'm unable to comment there. Having a balanced profile is crucial though i.e. highlighting who you are beyond the CV and scores, and how your experiences and skills can help your journey in/ post the Masters.
Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out through the link(s) below for a deeper chat.
