Hi
HarshGupta08- While you may have a shot at ESSEC with a strong application now, you should probably apply in R1 next year. You are applying only to the top schools.
- In between, try and raise your GMAT to a 700+, and if possible, a 720+. Keep in mind that LBS does not admit applicants with 2+ years of experience, though it seems you should be well below that right now.
- As a lawyer, getting your goals right will be critical. Please go through [u=https://www.gyanone.com/mba-for-lawyers/]
this article on the MBA for lawyers[/u]. Though it is meant more for lawyers applying for the MBA, you will find plenty of specific aspects useful to yourself too.
- Your low IR score should be explained in the applications - it does sit out as a bit of a red flag, though most schools will still look at the overall GMAT score as their decision criteria. Your GPA may not really equate to a 4.0 (we think the GMAC system isn't really on target for this) but most schools will simply let you report your Indian score as a percentage, and your score is ok.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with further questions as needed.
