Hi Soterios,
I plan to submit MBA applications for the upcoming round 2 and was hoping for some direction. Here's some information on my profile:
24 Y/O male from Denmark.
Work experience
Financial services (Group Strategy and M&A team) - largest insurance company in Scandinavia.
Progression: From Intern to Analyst to Associate in 2 years.
Have been part of large transformational strategy projects and deal team on large M&A transaction (8bn EUR)
Also experience from DK's largest Pension Fund (EU top 10) as a student analyst in strategy team.
Additional international internship experience in China and India (no-name brands, but did it for international experience)
Education
Undergraduate from Copenhagen Business School (top 20 in Europe, top 1 in Denmark)
Studied International Business (top program in Denmark, highest entry requirements)
3.7 GPA (converted from ECTS Scale) - top 10% across Copenhagen Business School graduates my year
Test Scores
GMAT: V37 Q44 IR3 AWA6 - Total 660
Additional information
• First-generation college student
• Volunteer experience from Red Cross
• Strong extracurricular (led student union, involved in case competitions, participated in other student organizations)
• Certification in financial modelling
• Studied Mandarin Chinese for 3 months in China and Taiwan alongside my undergrad
Post MBA Goal
Private Equity (either directly or IB / consulting first, but hope to eventually work in PE)
Target schools:
• Master programs: (G)MiM at LBS or Insead; Finance at HEC, LSE, or NYU, potentially Duke MMS
• MBA programs: MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, Cornell
Could you please share your thoughts on my profile? Particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on how competitive my profile is for MBA programs (given low GMAT) and what some "safe" schools might be? I realize that my GMAT is lower than median at most top schools (within 80% range at Cornell though) and I am quite young for an MBA, but reckon there is some value in being first gen and from Denmark (not many mba applicants from Denmark to the best of my knowledge).
Thank you a ton in advance!
