Thank you very much for replying at new years eve, i also have asked the same questions in reddit and seems like i have 0 chance in getting in, because all they look at is your GPA and the GMAT score, they could be wrong though. After reading your comment, you gave me a confidence boost, giving me maybe some hope into getting in.

Thank you very much for replying my man, and happy new years
Best regards

I am helping with what I know and it maybe wrong:

1- I think they consider the GPA as a whole
2- Business can help your profile to be unique, but having some finance internships will be a boost for the MBF
3- They don't have a requirement for an English exam, it's upto you as the course is in English and you should be fluent enough to understand
4- Definitely these certifications will help, your business can be a great extracurricular. GMAT is a component unique to your profile, you need to work for it anyways
5- For your lower GPA, summer school with excellent grades can be helpful, also no idea about the home advantage

All the best!

Hi,

I’m deciding whether I should apply in round 2 (January 31st) with my current GMAT score or if I should take more time to improve and apply in Round 3 instead (February 28th). How much would applying in Round 3 impact my chances? Do they really care about GMAT scores?

Also, I studied abroad for my undergraduate degree, but does being a Swiss citizen provide any admissions advantage? Are there quotas for domestic and international applicants?

Would appreciate any advice,

Thanks

A score of 650-675 could be a safe score my cousin took admission last year with a 695 score (Indian citizen)

I just received my acceptance letter for round 3 today with a 655 GMAT. After reading everything online, I honestly didn't think this was possible. Just want to put this out there for anyone who might be interested. Don't let the trolls discourage you. You don't need a Nobel Prize and a 755 GMAT to get in.
