Hi, can you please evaluate my profile for MIM program.

Target universities : LBS, HEC, ESSEC
Can you also suggest in which other schools I have a chance of getting an admit

Can you please evaluate my profile for the purpose of last round( Round 5) of above mentioned universities and also for the Round 1 for next year admission.

I gave my GMAT on 11th April, 2022 and scored 690(Q47, V38) but a miserable IR score of 2.

I am an Indian law graduate fron Guru gobind singh indraprastha University scored a rank of 406 in IPU common entrance Test

My CGPA was 7.3/10 and in terms of percentage it was 73% which according to GMAC conversion table is a 4 GPA, I have interned at PepsiCo India Limited, Aditya Birla finance limited ( one of the buisness of big brand conglomerate in India), Oil and Natural Gas corporation of India( Most revenue Generating PSU of India- Maharatna Status), Luthra& Luthra(One of the top tier 1 firms in India), and at Supreme court of India.

I also have completed a free certificate course related to patent law from World intellectual property organization. In school I won a Gold medal in international science Olympiad,I was also awarded a certificate of being a batch topper for scoring 95/100 in biology. In college I have 3-4 volunteering experience and also certificates for same.

I have been working under a Supreme court lawyer for past 8-9 months.

Hi

- 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 this article on the MBA for lawyers[/b][/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.

Thank you so much for replying!
I would like to ask one more question I am more focused on LBS and HEC so is my score really a big concern. Do I seriously need to consider retaking GMAT??

Posted from my mobile device

For LBS and HEC specifically, yes, a retake will help a lot. Also, consider applying in R1 2023 now, also because you will take some time to retake the GMAT and enhance your score.

Hello HarshGupta08,

Thanks for sharing the details pertaining to your profile with us.

Considering you are looking at the last round with an average GMAT score, we would strongly recommend that you spend the next few months improving your test score and then applying in R1. Once the GMAT is out of the way, focus on putting together a compelling application, ensuring that your goals are in sync with your professional experience, and the dots in your story are adding up.

The schools in consideration are extremely competitive and, provided you can, you should apply with your best case.

All the best!
