    Hi,
    My name is Mrinal. I will be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunication Engineering from Bangalore in June.
    I have a 88.3% in my tenth and 89% in my twelfth. I have a GMAT score of 630 and have won a few national level business plan competition and represented India at the Intel Global Challenge'13 that was held at University of California, Berkeley. I have two unregistered start ups in India and have consistently shown leadership skills at various levels. I happen to have a subject backlog which i will clear in the month of june. Could you suggest which colleges in europe i could apply to for an MIM in Marketing.

    Cheers.

      Hi Mrinal,

      thank you for your question. You can apply at any school - it really depends on your preferences. Your GMAT score is good, your academic grades are very good, and your overall profile looks very interesting and rich with respect to experiences. Hence, most schools if not all schools should grant you admissions.

      For the moment, I recommend reflecting on what you want from a school and then take some weeks to carefully screen the schools' websites. If you want to work in investment banking, for instance, and your school has no banks coming to campus to recruit the school is not your best choice - even if it may be top-ranked.

      You should care that the school is internationally accredited. But your final list of target schools should be made after carefully screening the schools' websites and even taking to alumni and the schools' admissions departments.

      Best wishes
      Thomas
