Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right place for this because I am not applying for an MBA but instead I am considering pre-experience Masters in Management programs as I don't have work experience. My profile is as follows:
Age: 20
GPA, Major, School: 75.25/100, Business Technology, Helsinki School of Economics, Finland (The GPA translates to 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is PASS and 5 is EXCELLENT)
GMAT: 720 (49Q, 39V)
My CV (attached) highlights my internship experience, extra-curricular activities and achievements.
Interesting facts: I grew up and did my GCE A-Levels in Karachi, Pakistan. For undergraduate, I got into some of the best business schools in UK, the best business school in Finland and the best in Pakistan. Going to the business school in Pakistan would have been a very safe and comfortable choice for me but despite that and the fact that people were like "What? Finland? Have you lost it? Nobody goes there?", I decided to come to Finland because a) I wanted to get the exposure, b) Higher education in Finland is free and c) It is a good business school. Last spring, I spent a semester in Manchester as an exchange student.
Obviously, studying in Finland came with its own set of challenges. Cold weather, a very different culture, interaction with people from all over the world, language barrier! But I successfully adapted to all that.
I think my profile is somewhat interesting but I don't know how the Adcoms will think of it.
I plan on applying to Masters in Management programs at: London School of Economics and Political Sciences, London Business School, Sauder School of Business (UBC), Queens School of Business and Richard Ivey School of Business.
How would you evaluate my profile? What do you think of my chances at these universities? Most importantly, where can I find the best tips on writing the application essays?
