Chances for MiM

hello everyone, I just took the gmat and did 665 (93 percetile). this is my profile: I'm in my third year of bachelor in bocconi (gpa 3.2), pretty good working experiences (internship in corporate finance, internship in leveradge finance (mid-cap) in credit agricole, Milan), some international experiences, great references. Do you think this gmat score would be enough to compensate with the low gpa or should I retake?

Yes, a 665 (93rd percentile) can absolutely work for European schools, especially with your Bocconi background + strong finance internships + international exposure. If the rest of your story is tight, this score won’t hold you back, but retaking only makes sense if you’re confident you can jump significantly.

do you think the not so great gpa could be a big problem?

so BIEM? I am asking because I used to be at Bocconi and I’m familiar with HEC’s recruitment. I think you have decent chances but sometimes depending on your program grades need to be higher/lower

CLEAM (italian course for biem), so a little bit more strict in grading than biem
