Hello everybody!
I'm a french student studying in a BBA in France and I'm about to enter my third year. (My programme lasts 4 years)
During my first two years I was an idiot not focusing on my grades. I have recently thought a lot about my future, and now I know I want to do my master abroad in a top European business school. I will work hard during my 3rd year in order to get the best GPA, GMAT and IELTS possible to maximize my chances of getting into a top school. I regret so much my childish behaviour and I'm worried that my low GPA of the first two years will stop me from getting into top B-School and that is why I need your help:
My school is ranked among the top 10 B-School in France (depends on the rankings, but generally between 7th and 10th), and is ranked 50th on the Financial Times ranking of European Business Schools.
During my first year in the first semester I had a GPA of 3.63, so yes it is correct but it's from the 2nd semester that things started going bad :/ I had a very low GPA during my 2nd semester with 3.0.
I spent my second year abroad at BI Norwegian Business School (the best b-school in Norway and ranked stg like 36th in the ft ranking). However I was not serious at all during this year and got an average grade of C in the first semester and I even flunked one subject... Regarding the 2nd semester I haven't taken my exams yet but I estimate I will have an average of either C or B, but C is more likely unfortunately :/ (I got problems with teammates for my term papers that is why I can't expect very good grades)
So overall:
1st year: 3.63 & 3.0 GPA
2nd year: average grade of C and 2nd semester not evaluated yet.
My question is: If during my 3rd year I work hard and manage to get 4.0 of GPA during both semesters as well as a good score on the GMAT (700+) do I have any chances of getting into msc in international management from schools like bocconi, esade etc... ?
Thanks!

Falco hi,
The simple and short answer is YES!
Schools take into account many factors. yes, your GPA is important, but we, at ARINGO, have worked with many candidates with low GPAs who got into MBAs and MIM programs in the top schools. So for example, if you get on the dean's list in years 3 and 4 that can "overwrite" a lower average GPA. Other achievements (school activities, volunteering), GMAT and interesting life story/ambitions will definitely take the spotlight away from your poor years 1 and 2.
Happy to discuss further (always on [email protected]) when relevant (in 1+ years) for now, good luck, and keep u the good job!

You are in correct path. First you will concentrate your undergrade result in next two years. In that time, you will also join in some extra-curriculum activities and social activities which will endorse your leadership ability because getting admission in high ranked universities for MBA requires leadership ability. Besides, you will take GMAT preparation and set your target to get 720+ that is considered GMAT score benchmark to get admission in top ranked universities. In the meantime, if you have part-time job or voluntary job that will show your managerial skill, you will have high possibility to get admission in top ranked universities.
Best of luck for your endeavor and if the comment helps you what you want to desire, do not leave without +1 kudos.
