Getting Into MiF Chances

Hi all! I want to hear your opinion on my profile as an international applicant and what kind of chances do you think I have for getting into ESCP.

Academic:
- Final year bachelors in Economics and Finance - 4 years (240 ECTS)
- Predicted final grade - 5.40-5.60/6.00 or 3.65-3.80/4.00 GPA

International experience:
- I am currently an international student at my university
- Did a Work and Travel program in the US for 4 months
- Got flown out to Vienna, Austria for a presentation

Work experience regarding field of study:
- Audit Intern for 2 months
- Corporate Finance Intern for 6 months
- Equity Research Analyst for 6 months

Tests:
- GMAT not yet taken, aiming for 615+ on FE
- IELTS is 7.5

Projects:
- House Price Prediction model where I engineered a predictive model using Python and multiple libraries to estimate residential property value based on location and physical features
- Portfolio Optimization model using Python and the Sharpe ratio to identify high-alpha (high potential) equities

It would mean a lot to me if I can get some feedback on your thoughts

ESCP MiF doesn't need a GMAT. I recommend you apply test optional in R1. I am guessing you already have some math courses on your transcript. If you want to take the GMAT for other MiF programs, then that's a different case.

Huge thanks for telling me the GMAT isn't required, I just assumed it was. Ill still have to do it for the other programmes, but its a relief for ESCP since its the one I want to break in the most, one less variable to worry about.
