Hello,
I need an honest opinion here... Is 600 enough for me to get into Imperial College?
I am a french-canadian, BBA in accounting (GPA 2.4) and Graduate Certificate in finance (GPA 3.2) from 2 respectable schools, CPA and level 2 CFA candidate, have 7 years of working experience, mainly in a government owned company, with which I had international exposure in France, Italy. I have excellent reference letters from my former division GM and former CFO of the multi-billion earning government owned company.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks a lot!

Schools talks very highly about holistic evaluation, 360 degree evaluation and blah blah but most of the schools does not have the band width to do that. So practically, all selection is primarily based on your GMAT score and interviews. Although schools will never ever directly admit that they rejected you due to a low GMAT score and they will sometime give some filmsy excuse.

My friend, try to improve your GMAT to 650+ and you have an excellent profile.

people on this forum probably can't give you an answer. there is almost always some randomness involved when it comes to admissions. still, if you think that you have time and you don't mind retaking the exam then try to get a higher score. if you don't feel like studying any more then just apply and see what happens.
