Hi,
I'm somewhat exited about the feedback I got from 2 schools, one is around the FT top20 (school 1) and the other around FT top35 (school 2) as a guide, both in Europe.
My GMAT is 600 and I was quite overwhelmed by this.
Both seemed positive, they said that I meet the GMAT requirements. School1 said that I would have better chances of getting a scholarship or "be more competitive" as they have a gmat average closer to 700. School2 have a lower average and said that it meets their requirement.
Both found my working experience interesting and meeting the criteria, I'm not of competitive ethnic background (I'd say about 1%) and that both would encourage me to apply.
I'm only after a general feeling about these as per other people's experiences, I'm not trying to secure a "yes" or "no", I know that this is impossible as the applications and essays matter as much as the rest of the profile.

You mean pre-application feedback at when they look at your profile? I'd be pretty wary of a school that has an average GMAT of 700, which is encouraging you to apply with a 600. I don't want to dampen your pleasure, but It's in their advantage to always get as many applications in as possible. I mean, maybe your profile is so amazing that yes, you would have a good shot. But for example, usually for schools that have GMAT averages of 700, they's have 5% of the class with GMATs lower than 660 or so (just a rough guesstimate based on similar stats). If you mention which schools they are and elaborate a bit more about your profile, I may be able to guess better. In general though, it is true that European schools can be a lot more flexible on regards to GMAT than US schools, and that if your profile has other great strengths, that they make up for your GMAT in other ways.
Hope this helps dude,
And I hope I'm not killing your excitment,
