Hello everyone,
I am new here and I am glad I found this forum, because it shows me I'm not alone in my battle with the business schools. I would like to ask for your opinion, because I see people are getting just amazing scores and I'm starting to wonder if I'm on the right track. I am currently an undergrad, a junior actually, in an upstate NY college. I've had a good international exposure - I'm a Bulgarian born in Japan, currently living in the US, with about a year spent in France. My goal is to get into a Master's program (Finance or Intl Business) in some of the best schools in Europe - HEC, LSE, ESADE, ESSEC, Cambridge, CEMS... Do you guys think I have a chance? All schools require GMAT, so I took it in March and got 690 - 35 (76%) on the Verbal, 49 (90%) on the Quantative, and 5.5 on the essays. Obviously the Verbal is low, but it was hard for me as I'm not a native speaker. My GPA is 3.73, but my work experience is ZERO, if we don't count the 3 internships up to the moment. Is anyone else in the same boat as I am? Any ideas or suggestions? Should I retake that exam?

690 is a good score! especially with ur GPA u shudnt have to worry...
Usually work ex and GMAT are not considered the same. Typically GMAT/GPA is used to determine your academic skills. If one is low the other can be used to offset it... So if you had low GPA, then a higher GMAT wud have been required. As long as u are +/-30 from the schools median (with a good GPA) you are fine, from the academic perspective.
As for your zero work experience, try to take up some extra cirriculars that can demostrate your leadership and 'non academic skills'!
Lotsa schools these days actually admit ppl with zero experience, though they say that work ex is desired! Dont worry! You are safe... focus on the rest of your application.

If you are keen on getting into a european bschool, I suspect it will be tough, as the schools thr are more stringent about work ex requirements. This is what I know, but you may want to check with the schools themselves.
Good luck !
