Hello there,

I'd like an evaluation of my profile since I intend to apply to the MiM program at HEC/ESCP/ESSEC.

Age : 24
Nationality : Moroccan
GMAT (both taken during work period) : 550 - Retaken after 2 months : 750.
Education : Graduated from the Mohammadian School of Engineering, the top engineering school in Morocco (One of the top 10 engineering schools in the MENA region) with a final grade of 13,88/20 (The evaluation process is extremely severe, the best of us had gotten a 15/20. We don't use GPAs unfortunately) in Industrial Engineering and complex project management.
Work Experience : Currently working as a business analyst at Kea & Partners (french consulting firm), final internship done in the marketing department at Procter & Gamble, various other internships.
Extracurricular activities : Tech Squad and Coaching Team Leader at ENACTUS from 2010 to 2012, semi-finalist and winner of 6 prizes with the team at the SIFE National Competition in 2011, managed a portfolio of 11 projects - Founded the COGNI program to improve educational standards in Morocco.
Other qualities : polyglot (capable of fluently speaking in 6 languages)

What worries me the most is my final grade - whether it hampers my chances of getting admitted into the programs I'm targeting.

Thanks in advance. :)

I'm not familiar with ESSEC or ESCP, but you have a competitive profile for the HEC MiM program. I'm assuming that you don't have too much work experience for HEC.

Best,
Linda
Hello Linda,
Thanks a lot for the speedy feedback. :-D
Concerning work experience, I'm currently at my sixth month at Kea & Partners, and by the time I matriculate, I'll have a year and a half of WE.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I have been traveling and actually just attended a short conference at HEC Paris.

Check with the schools directly as to how much experience would be too much for the MiM. For some it is one year max, and I'm not sure what it is for the HEC MiM and certainly don't know about the other programs.

Best,
Linda
