Hey guys,
I would really appreciate some help here
Gmat 720 (Q47 V42)
GPA: 6.62/10 which in Greece is like 2:1 but most Universities ask for 7/10
Work experience: I cofounded a family business with my father and in 2 years was (and still is) the fastest growing company in the sector ( stainless steel baskets manufacturing). I pretty much did everything in the company except the manufacturing part. I created the website, the leaflets, managed 3 international exhibitions in Greece. Made the pricing strategy and and the whole internal accounting department etc. I did all these in the first 2 years of the University and then gradually i stepped down a little so i can finish my degree with a decent grade.
In the meantime i got an internship in Deloitte for 2 months in the Audit department. I had excellent reviews from the partner supervising the team and a recommendation letter from her whenever i ask.
Extracurriculars:
I also lead 2 different teams in Some management simulation competitions one of which was on international level (GMC) and we managed to reach the Greek Semifinals. And one on a university level in which we finished 5th in 100 teams.
Also here in Greece there is a mandatory army enrollment for 9 months. In the first month because of my leadership studies i was assigned as acting corporal supervising 158 privates. And in the next 8 months i was an acting sergeant assigning duties to 50 privates and supervising 2 acting corporals.Which is the highest rank a non professional soldier can get.
Im interested in Getting into a top MIM programme in EU. I want to pursuit a career in Strategy consulting despite having a secure job back home because i like seeing and learning new things while also solving problems in a wide range of industries.
The main problem is that because of the new company right now my finances are tight and i probably cant afford a prestigious MIM. Is there a chance i could get away with a scholarship in any of the top programmes? I'm thinking LBS, LSE, HEC (strategic management is also a choice) ESADE, ESSEC, Bocconi, Erasmus Rotterdam.
Thank you for your time.
