Hi everyone,
I’ve been a long-time reader and viewer of the GMAT CLUB forum and YouTube channel. I wish to give back to this amazing community now! I was fortunate to receive MiM admits from HEC Paris, ESSEC, and ESCP this cycle with a 645 GMAT and a 3.08 GPA.
I wish to help my fellow members here understand how even without the best academic record one can achieve their dreams.
If anyone has questions about applications, essays, interviews, or how I prepped to improve my GMAT score from a 535 to a 645 too, feel free to reach out to me.
I’ll be more than happy to help and guide you
Also I’m very grateful to every member who has helped me some along the way.

Hi Jaival,
Congratulations on your admits to HEC Paris, ESSEC, and ESCP — that’s an amazing achievement 👏
Your journey from a 535 to a 645 is especially motivating. Many applicants here struggle with confidence because of GPA, so your story really shows how strong GMAT improvement, essays, and overall profile strategy can change outcomes.
I had a quick question: during your GMAT prep phase, what was the single biggest change that helped you break past the mid-600 plateau — was it mocks analysis, quant fundamentals, or verbal consistency?
Thanks again for giving back to the community and best of luck for MiM ahead!

Congrats, Jaival — this is a genuinely impressive result and exactly the kind of debrief this forum needs more of. A 110-point GMAT improvement alongside three MiM admits at top European programs says a lot about how you managed the full picture, not just the test.
One thing worth highlighting for others reading this: your trajectory from 535 to 645 is arguably more convincing to adcoms than someone who started at 620 and stayed there. It shows self-awareness, work ethic, and adaptability — traits that matter in an MBA classroom. European programs like HEC and ESSEC also tend to evaluate the full profile more holistically than some US programs, so a strong application narrative can genuinely offset a lower GPA or score.
For anyone in a similar boat — sub-650 GMAT, below-3.5 GPA — this post is proof that targeting the right schools and building a compelling story around your growth matters enormously. Would love to hear more about how you approached the essays, Jaival. Looking forward to your follow-up posts!
