Profile evaluation - MBA

by rick80 » Tue Sep 18, 2012 8:19 am
Hi to everyone,

I'm planning to take GMAT and I'm around 650 in the simulation tests. I will apply for 2014 MBA when I'll be 28 years old and I'll have 3+ years of working experience in a Big Four (management consulting unit) working on Operational Risk and ICT Risk Management. I'm an Italian male and I hold a MSc in Telecommunication Engineering, with 3.8 GPA.
I would like to apply for MBA in:
Copenhagen Business School, Rotterdam, Vlerick, Imperial College

With a 650 GMAT what chances do you think I'll have?
Can I try with school higher in ranking?

Thank you all for your answers!

Hi Rick80,

Thanks for your post. It's great that you are consistently scoring 650 on your GMAT practice tests. Keep in mind that often times the score on the actual test might be lower (by 10-30 points) than the practice tests. With that thought, you might want to keep practicing until you consistently score 680 or higher. This will add the necessary buffer so that hopefully your actual score is a 650 or higher.

You sound like a great candidate for the schools on your list. You might want to consider other European programs like Judge, IE and ESADE.

Best,

Stacey

Hi Stacey,

thank you for your time and your useful advice.

I would ask you if a 6 months full-time internship (post graduate, relevant working experience in the national leading postal and financial operator) could be a drawback if counted within my 3+ years of working experience. Actually I will have 6 months of internship + 33 months of full time working experience, and not 36 months full time.

Thank you again
Kind Regards

Rick

Yes, the 6 month internship counts as professional experience since it was a full time opportunity after you graduated.

Regards,
