What do you think about my chances? Is my GMAT too low? These programs are extremely competitive so I am not sure..
It seems like you have a great number of credentials + unique background, enough to where it’s all up to essay+. What I mean is, ENSURE that you have a great essay and it won’t hurt to apply. Beyond that, the question you are asking is pointless and the answers given won’t really help you without specific advice. Focus on what you can control, and you may or may not get in. The absolute number of accepted applicants is that low to where no one knows if you will actually get in. Anecdotally, I know of a similar profile (but better) with the startup and was named top student in the class, etc. who went to McKinsey also who got in. There’s your anecdote.
So you go to HEC?
isn’t that in Paris?
It is. It's also a notch below the first three schools mentioned and the only one to use a GPA system.
GMAT not good enough, would say your chances are slim especially coming from a traditional consulting role.
Do you think if I am able to raise the GMAT to say, 740 I can have good chances..?
Still unlikely I think. I know a 780 GMAT, top MSc Finance, McKinsey, PE experience not even get an interview.
.
You went to Esade right? I think I might know who you are. Would like to connect, please PM me.
