Hello everyone
I am a hotel management graduate from IHM Mumbai, India with a good academic record both in my college and school. I would to know if I would be an eligible candidate for any MiM program and how strongly would i need to compete for a admission in any of these programs as I think that b-schools might prefer students from other streams above me.
I am still preparing for my GMAT and will give by the the end of this month. I would like to know what would be an ideal Gmat score for me to secure a seat in a good school.
Hey
shivamsethi387,
I would say you have a pretty interesting profile. Your background in hotel management is a differentiator because primarily engineering and business graduates apply so that can help you to add a different dimension which the B-schools would appreciate.
Coming up to your work experience, you have just one internship which is something you should build up on. Try to get more internship experience maybe in the Hospitality sector or Management sector that would really help you to add value to your profile and professional exposure.
Aim to highlight projects and make sure you include the skills you developed during that time and how you realized your passion for business during the period.
Extracurricular look fair, the school experiences would not really add value, until you can show that you created some positive impact via it, on yourself or on your surroundings.
Hence, show your quantifiable achievements in the extracurricular (E.g.: The work you’ve done with NGOs, The teams you have led during organizing the feasts), if properly explained it will be a good add-on point for your application.
Additionally, on the GMAT side aim for a 700 plus that would be very helpful to showcase your quantitative abilities.
Now, for schools such as HEC would be difficult unless you showcase how you are a wonderful fit for their program. LBS however prefer international experience so that can be an option. Further, for MiM you could also look at schools like LSE, ESSEC, ESCP, INSEAD and Imperial as options.
If you’re planning to apply for the 2021 intake, aim for R1 or R2 so that you have the time advantage.Your essays will play an integral role in establishing this, as well as highlighting the value you will be adding to your target school.
