Hey Guys ?

Can you please reply ? I really would like to have an independent opinion..

Thanks in advance

You strengths are obviously your GMAT score, international experience, extracurricular activities and strong professional performance. Your GPA may be a weakness but that really depends on how low it is. The programs you are targeting are possibilities however the strength of your overall application depends on many factors including LORs, essays, and interviews. You must also be able to clearly articulate your future goals and what you hope to gain from an MBA program especially if you are seeking a particular area of concentration. What makes sense for one program may not fit for another.

My GPA (I don't know how the US equivalent - but in french grade = 12 out of 20)

My objective is to reach a leading position in Financial management (Head of finance for a region or even CFO). Actually I will rather say to enhance my profile to have access to more challenging position. I d like to work for a manufacturing company. does not have to be in the same company.

Can you please help me to select mba program that you believe correspond to my objective ?

thanks
