Hi
hamzamohd,
Thank you for sharing your profile.
Your profile looks good. Starting with academics, MIM places a high value on GPA and GMAT. Because you don't have much job experience, you'll have to rely on your GPA and GMAT scores to demonstrate your academic potential. To increase your chances, I recommend aiming for a score of around 700. Most of the programs have an average GMAT score of 650+ so work on that.
Now, in terms of your work experience, as a marketing intern, you may explain the hurdles you've faced and the positive impact you've had on the company. Working in a tech startup must have provided you with invaluable experience. You may certainly describe your involvement with ECs during your undergraduate studies, as well as the activities and duties you took on. And your leadership abilities must be evident in the responsibilities you performed as president of several societies. Finally, you should highlight the cloud kitchen service; stories or personal experiences connected to this will help you and Adcoms start a pleasant conversation.
These are 5 elements you need to work on for a good MiM application:
1) Show practical work experience
2) Good academics
3) Leadership
4) Clear goals
5) Good LOR’s
In response to your questions, you should aim for a 700+ score to get into a decent school. What are your post-MiM goals? They will assist you in narrowing down your school choices. HEC, ESADE, IE, ESCP, ESSEC are among the schools to which you can apply.
Overall your profile seems good. Work on your GMAT, and the rest will depend on your essays and overall application. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you to discuss your profile in length and further chances to schools. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!

I guess my question is which colleges should I target for MiM, since my GMAT score is very low, although I am confident that I can improve my score in my next attempt, and what score should I aim for?
So yeah, -
- How much should I aim for in my next GMAT attempt? and
- Which colleges fit my profile, for MiM?
P.S.: I will be applying in March - so targeting the March 30th Deadline
