Hi, I'm a fresh economics grad, and thinking to apply for MiM or MFin in Europe (interested in both, I want to choose the one that I have the most chance to get admitted). I have no idea which schools I should target.
My profile:
B.S. in economics from a top uni in Turkey (For example McKinsey Bain etc. do recruit from my school but unfortunately unis in Turkey are not world-renowned so idk if having studied in a top uni will do any help). My GPA is 3.3. (and I had to retake some courses to increase my GPA so I think that may be a disadvantage.
GMAT: Haven't taken yet but will take in a month aiming for +700 since my GPA is considerably low.
Internships: 4 internships, one in a big4 audit. one in dubai (only for a month), one investment banking internship at a small firm based in Turkey.
I graduated this year but didn't get a full-time job. I'm still doing a full-time investment banking internship in the firm I previously mentioned because I didn't want to be in a demanding job while studying for GMAT. Do you think this will do any harm for my applications that I am still an intern?
I don't have much international experience. I was supposed to do Erasmus in Spain but due to covid I had to cancel it. Should I mention that in my application? As international experience I can only mention that I attended a short-term cultural student exchange program when I was in high school. I should mention that my internship in Dubai was remote.
For extracurriculars, I have 2 volunteering experiences. In one of them I was a maths teacher for children who had financial difficulties. I gave online courses to them every week for a year and did what a regular math teacher does. (I gave them homework, and then check their homework, I took attendance, solved their questions etc.)
The other volunteering experience similar, this time I helped high-school students to solve their test questions which they couldn't solve. It was a program of a student club in my school. I did this for like one year or so.
Also, I'm creating content for social media but I don't know if I should mention that. Do you think having like 30k followers in a platform would do any help?
Considering all of these, which schools do you think would be a good fit for me? I have no idea. I did a lot of LinkedIn stalking, and saw that most people in top grad schools have brilliant profiles. Therefore I don't think I'm a good fit for top schools. What schools should I aim for?

Thanks for reaching out.
Q: Do you think this will do any harm for my applications that I am still an intern?
A: No, as long as you capture your responsibilities and results in an effective manner. Work experience isn't nearly as important for MiM/MiF programs as it is for MBA programs.
Q: I don't have much international experience. I was supposed to do Erasmus in Spain but due to covid I had to cancel it. Should I mention that in my application?
A: You could in the optional essay section, but I would not. Cancellations of this sort have been common over the past year and a half.
Q: Also, I'm creating content for social media but I don't know if I should mention that. Do you think having like 30k followers in a platform would do any help?
A: Yes, it would be viewed as a non-work/extracurricular activity of sorts. It should be capture on your CV and in the activities of your application.
Q: Considering all of these, which schools do you think would be a good fit for me? I have no idea. I did a lot of LinkedIn stalking, and saw that most people in top grad schools have brilliant profiles. Therefore I don't think I'm a good fit for top schools. What schools should I aim for?
A: We need to know more about what you want to do (i.e., career goal) and, ultimately, your GMAT score. It's very hard to make a judgment call even with many of your great credentials.
It sounds like you would benefit from having an admissions consultant. We not only can go through how to structure your application and make a proper school list, but also help you with strategic position and material creation. Please reach out for a free consultation if that sounds appealing to you:

Hi Admissionado,
Can I please trouble you to provide a quick profile evaluation on my chances of making it to a top MBA programme? I'm not necessarily looking at Stanford or Harvard, but am aiming at the following:
1. Columbia (dream school)
2. NYU Stern (dream school)
3. Yale SOM
4. MIT Sloan
5. LBS
I am a 27 year old Indian Female who has lived and studied in Singapore since childhood (my nationality is still Indian). I am currently working in a big 4 accounting firm as a restructuring & insolvency professional. Obtained 2 progressions and 1 major promotion. GMAT 710 (q48 v40), but my undergrad GPA is low (2.9/4) as I studied pure accounting (Bachelor of Accountancy) and it was an extremely tough programme. My accounting modules (unfortunately) brought down my GPA while I did decently in the other business-related modules.
Another reason behind my low GPA is my involvement in extracurricular activities - I represented the college in varsity soccer, and was part of the media club where I became a professionally trained emcee. I held leadership positions in both ECs for 2-3 years as well, which also did not leave me with enough time to dedicate to my academics.
Currently, outside of work - I am pursuing multiple ECs as well, such as ballet, yoga and golf. In fact, I voluntarily teach basic yoga to interested individuals via zoom just to spread my knowledge and encourage everyone to stay fit and healthy. I continue to find new things to learn.
