Hi Thomas,

I am applying to HEC Paris and ESSEC for MiM in the next two weeks and I am worried about my application.

I graduated from University of British Columbia from 2011 with a Bach. in Food Science. My GPA was 80% and I got a GMAT score of 710.

I did 4 co-op terms (4months each) at several companies mainly to do with microbiology (worked at Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada, BC Centre for Disease Control) and quality assurance (Canadian Fishing Company) in food.

I am currently working as a QA tech (for about a year) in a dairy manufacturer. I deal with worker training, communications withe suppliers/distributors, goverment agencies, and food safety.

I am doing a MiM because I want to change my career path. Maybe get into the more business side of food rather than the scientific/technical aspects.

I have been busy studying for the GMAT for the past couple of months and my extra-curriculars have been non existant. Other than the occassional exercise class and going out with friends.

Do you think that will hurt my chances?

Thanks in advance,

Nikita
