    Hello,

    first you should investigate what the University of St.Gallen expects. Then you can compare this with your own records.

    On the University of St.Gallen SIM Admissions Page you find the admissions criteria and the respective weights.

    The average GMAT score of the Master of Finance and Banking students can be found on the St.Gallen Facts Page. It is 723.

    I could imagine that the SIM students GMAT score (average) is similarly high.

    But this does not mean that your result is too low to get accepted. It just means that your score is below average and that you need to convince the St.Gallen team on the other admissions dimensions.

    Best wishes,
    Thomas

    Hi there,

    in my my survey "The MIM - Entry Requirements for the Master in Management", you find the detailed and original admissions criteria of 53 Master in Management programs, and particularly the GMAT section.

    This will answer your question.

    Hello Sir,

    I would like you to evaluate my profile and lemme know which colleges I have a chance for MiM programs?

    10th: 88.8% 12th: 70% Grad, Bachelors in Engineering: 60%(overall 8 semester)
    work ex: 24 months+ counting.
    will more than 24 months harm my application?
    IELTS: 8 overall
    GRE: expecting 310- 320

    With my CGPA on the lower side, will my SOP, GRE and TOEFL make a change to the probability of getting into university?

    Hi there,

    some MIM programs require a first degree in business or economics while others do not. If you study economics in your undergrads, I recommend you to choose a MIM program that requires a first degree in business or economics. By this you will avoid a repetition in your MIM of what you studied already in your BA.

    To find MIM programs that specifically require a first degree in business or economics, please choose the filter "ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS" in the MIM Compass search engine at https://www.mim-compass.com and select "First degree in business or economics required".

    Best regards,
    Thomas

        Hi Anushka,

        a Master in Management is for graduates, with a maximum of up to a year of work experience. If you want a general management postgraduate education, then the MBA is the right program.

        Read my MIM eBook to better understand that differences, the different program types and how to find the "right" program and school for you.

        GRE and GMAT - here you need to check the entry requirements of your favorite schools. Usually, they allow for both tests and this means that there is no preference for the on or the other.

        Visit www.mba-compass.com to find programs and use the Search Engine Filter "Entry requirements" to select proggrams that require the GMAT/GRE or not.

        Best regards,
        Thomas

          Thank you sir...

          The book is really amazing ,it has been a great help .

          hello,

          I am going to apply for MIM in some business schools for fall 2016 session.There is a major problem in my profile,i took a gap of 2 years right after my graduation to prepare for a highly competitive exam for top government administration jobs,which i was not able to clear.

          Though my GPA is average but i have good number of extra-curricular activities(Literary Events,Music competitions,sports,Anchoring,Organizing events and festivals,national level science projects etc.).As per as your book i will apply for schools which gives high weightage to them.

          My question is that how badly are the gap years going to affect my application.even though the exam i was preparing for, has a success rate of 500 in a million,will it still be considered a failure .

          And,can i mention extra curricular activities i did in my high school,even though its been a while.

          I am looking forward to your reply

          Ajay

            Hello Ajay,

            if your GPA is average and if your extra-curricular records are good, I would apply for schools that do not over-emphasize grades but acknowledge such activities as something valuable for a Master's class.

            WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management

            As for your other question, will your 2 years gap be a disadvantage - this depends on the school (and how open the admissions managers are for unusual tracks) and on how convincing you will be to persuade them that these 2 years were not "lost time" but were a necessary step on your career planning.

            Best regards,
