American acceptance at ESADE or IESE

[hookemjimbo]

I am in the process of applying for fall 08 admissions and would like to apply to a European school. It's a little late, but it looks like their admissions timetables are a little behind those in the US.

What are the odds of Americans getting accepted at either school? I am only applying to schools here in the US that have a strong international focus, so I figured it would be a good idea to apply to foreign schools as well.


Here's some more info:

3.4 undergrad GPA UT-Austin Degrees awarded in Economics and Spanish
last few GMAT practice tests have been in the 670-range, so that's about what I'm expecting to make (test is only 1 day away!)
Have taught high school Spanish for 3 years and spent one summer teaching in Germany
Real estate finance internship in college
Tons of extra-curriculars

Hi hookemjimbo,

I think you are right in the range for both schools and have a good chance, especially if you can explain why you are interested in schools in Europe. I don't have any admissions statistics specifically about Americans in European schools, but I would imagine that since most Americans tend to choose US schools you will at least be in a less overrepresented pool in Europe. (INSEAD is a possible exception to that theory.)

Good luck!
