      Hi there,

      to me your profile looks good and you should make it to the next round (interviews) in one schol or the other. Have you checked out the average GMAT scores of these schools already? Keep in mind that you can be below average and still get in as long as you are somehow in their range. And 660 is not a bad score...

      Did you talk to current and ex students already as I recommend in my MIM eBook? If not I would do it asap...

      Best wishes
      Thomas

        Thank you for your reply!

        Yes I called the two schools.
        ESSEC told me average is 670, and ESCP told me it's confidential.
        However I know current ESSEC students who got accepted with GMAT score of 620, 650, 680 respectively..!

        What do you think of 10 points different to the average score Thomas?

        And what do you think of the people's opinion that '1st round is tougher' ?

        Thanks again for your reply! (tu)

          "What do you think of 10 points different to the average score Thomas?" since your academic grade looks like top I would ignore these 10 points...

          "people's opinion that '1st round is tougher' ?" - I wouldn't care at all. Apply when you want to apply and go ahead. Trust in your profile and if they don't want you then you apply somewhere else. It's that simple.

          At the end of the day you don't know which round is tougher. It can be the first round this year or the second round next year. How shall you know this? Do you really want to bother yourself with this? Overall, you need to trust in the school's selection standards (no matter which round) and your profile.

          Good luck!
          Thomas
