Hello Everyone !
Could you please rate my chances of getting into one of the Top European B-Schools MBA Programs (LBS/INSEAD)?
I just recently took my GMAT and am now unsure, if my profile is strong enough, or if I should consider retaking it.
Due to my long working hours, this is immensly difficult though.
Personal:
Male, European citizen, 27Y
GMAT
Overall 710 (90th percentile)
- Q44 (50th percentile)
- V42 (96th percentile)
- IR 7 (82nd percentile)
In the later Quant "heavy" courses at my university (Microeconomics, Intro to Statistics, Investments) I've recevied only A or A-.
I've also self taught myself coding (at least the basics with VBA/Python), and successfully used those at work in several projects.
Educational Background:
B.A. in Economics & B.Sc. in Business Administration
Overall GPA 3.81/4.0 - Graduated Magna Cum Laude
Work Experience:
Before my studies, I served 2 1/2 years in my countries Armed Forces.
- 1 Year deployment with UN Peacekeeping Troops in the Middle East - commander of 5 communication specialists by the age of 19.
- Promotion to Officer (Reserve) - During University studies
- Currently: Platoon commander (leading 30 soldiers)
Voluntary Service for 1 1/2 months in one of my countries embassy's in the middle east.
Currently: Operations and Finance Graduate Program at leading semiconductor company (multi-billion $ company).
Worked as:
- Financial Planner for production site
- Pricing Specialist for European Key Accounts
- Controller for our European Distributors
Extracurriculum:
Eagle Scout (similar to "Queen's Scout" in the UK, but from the american scout association)
Undersecretary General of my Universities MUN club
- Managed the budget & operations of international MUN trips and our local conferences with over 100 participants.
Points of concern:
My low quant score in the GMAT (but, I would be able to argue for the score not being representative of my quant skills)
Missing Charitable work
Thanks for your valuble insights !

Consider the following points and perspectives MrPy:
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
- The academic arc looks decent; how about your undergrad school's pedigree - that can help some. The GMAT score would be in the right ballpark and I would not really consider it a deal breaker per se. Higher score helps always however; if you think you can boost that score by 20+ points, maybe.
- The professional arc is interesting - will be good to understand your post-MBA plans and how the dots connect. The armed forces experience should be useful - make sure you explain and showcase how that makes you better. It would also help bring that much needed international experience that matters in your application.
- Charitable work is not a must have; but ECs definitely matter. So while the MUN and stuff will matter in the past, recency effect is important - a potential blind spot that you may not be able to do much about but important to be aware of.
- In general, it is good to target a slightly higher number of schools just to hedge your bets some.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Hi Manish,
Thank you for your fast response !
a.) I graduated from on one of European campuses of an american university (not too well known, but offered (in my opinion), a better education than the mass-universities of my country). My courses were all taught exclusively in English. I will consider retaking the GMAT if, I see, that my applications are going nowhere.
b.) My post-MBA plans to work at either a consulting company or a large conglomerate. With 3 years in the semiconductor industry, I already feel like needing a change. The MBA would enable me to broaden my horizon and expose me to many people from different industries. The military experience definitely shaped me and I can go on for hours of how it made me a better person and leader.
c.) Concerning EC: I am still in the military reserve and have trainings, exercises regularly. I'll make sure to be prepared for a question on this topic though. Thanks for pointing it out !
d.) In my broader aims are Oxford, Camebridge & IESE as well, which I did not mention in my original post.
Thanks !
