  Hi everybody,

  with a GMAT of 660 you fulfill more than the minimum requirements of most MIM programs and fulfill the minimum requirements even at the top-ranked schools. This means: If a school does not grant you admission, the GMAT was not the problem.

  Best wishes
  Thomas

  Hello,

  No I dint apply to Great Lakes, since MiM was my first choice.
  My suggestion at this time would be to contact the various admissions coordinator from schools you find interesting and discuss your profile with them, that will give you a better idea as to where you stand.

  All the best for your applications :)

  With your current profile and score, I think Essec should be your best option right now. Good college, good opportunities, a good community life.
  Work hard on your application, choose wisely which part of your profile you want to highlight in your application and be clear about your goals. The Essec interview is a very good experience. If you plan to apply, let me know if you want details about my application process and the interview.

  Yes,

  My profile very similar, I am a female Indian engineer, GMAT 660, IELTS - 8.5 , a few international internships and about an year of experience in Marketing.
  I would really suggest you to talk to the admissions coordinators from these schools, and share your profile, that will certainly give you a better picture of things .

  All the best :)

  Hey,

  I had a very similar profile, but I wanted to pursue Masters in general management or Business Analytics, and I was able to secure admissions in EMLYON , EDHEC in France and Schulich in Canada.

  Following is what I would suggest you

  1. Re-take GMAT if you can, a score over 700 would really help, though its nots very important.
  2. If you choose to apply with your current GMAT score then a lot of French B-Schools like ESSEC, Emlyon, EDHEC, skema are your safest bet . You can apply via SAI.
  3. Ms Finance in Schulich is also a good option.
