Hi guys! I would really appreciate an evaluation of my profile for admission to following schools (courses):
- St. Gallen (MiM)
- HEC Lausanne (Msc. in Management)
- University of Mannheim (MiM)
- WHU Beishem (Msc. in Management)
- HHL Leipzig (Msc. in Management)
Profile:
- Male, 25, Indian
- GMAT: 690 (Q49,V35)
- Education:
=> Diploma in Marketing Management from NMIMS (Currently Pursuing)
=> Bachelor in Technology from Mumbai University (Graduated in 2013)
- Extracurriculars:
=> Served in a Not-for-profit organization called AIESEC for 3 years; wherein I started as a new recruit and ended my experience as the president of the office in Mumbai.
=> Handled responsibilities such as project management, business operations, sales & marketing, recruitment and organizational governance.
=> Managed large teams and the entire local office eventually of ~80 members.
=> Currently serving as a mentor for underpriviliged youth in a Mumbai based NGO
- Full Time Work experience:
=> Worked for a global digital advertising agency as a business operations & sales executive for around 2 and half years
=> Got promoted within 12 months of joining to a Sr. Executive and handled the largest projects for the company at the time (Annual Projections worth over $5million)
=> Played a key role in product development, training, recruitment & mentorship for new joinees, besides my primary job role.
- Languages: Native English, Native Hindi (Plan to learn German in the coming few months; A1 & A2)
- International experience: No work experience. However, was selected by the international committee of AIESEC to be a part of the International Congress in 2013, which was hosted by Egypt and represented by over 130+ nations.
I know that schools in Germany & Switzerland require a prior degree in business for the program I have selected. In this case, will my work experience in business operations throughout my professional career help? Also, the reason for me to choose tech for my undergraduate program was so that I could work in the tech industry and understand the operations of the industry better. If not, does that mean an MBA is the only option for me?
Additionally, I am not confident in my score and I am currently studying towards a target of 740 (Which I happened to score in my GMAT Prep mocks). My current financial situation is not the best and will need financial aid for my education. Does my current profile stand a chance to receive scholarships in any of these schools?
I desperately am searching for some advice. Any help?

Hey there!
Great to hear from you!
So first of all, let me clear something up: You do NOT need a prior Business degree to study in the International MBA/MiM programs of the above schools. You can apply to an MBA from ANY UG program. However if you were to want to study in the native (and native-language) Masters programs in Germany, France or Switzerland (like most of Europe), yes you would be required to have an UG degree in the same field.
Sooooo you should be good
And if you get a 740, you should be even better
If you land a 740, I would even suggest you taking a shot at higher ranked schools like INSEAD and HEC.
Otherwise your Work Experience and NGO experience seem quite solid, and if you can pull off some awesome essays, you should have many options open to you.
Wishing you all the best,
And if you have any further questions, do not hesitate.
Best,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the quick reply. Its great to hear from you.
I am not looking for an MBA program explicitly and would prefer the MIM programs I've listed earlier. And as you mentioned, a degree in Business in necessary to pursue those programs. Do you think that the diploma course I am currently pursuing in Marketing would be sufficient for admission? If yes, then do you think my profile is strong enough a scholarship in these programs? If not, then do you think that an MBA is the only option for me to further my education in these countries?
Thanks again for the help!
