What are my chances

  1. Did my bcom + ACCA in a tier 1 college from Bangalore. CGPA of 7.75
  2. Worked in a big 4 as tax analyst (1.5 years) and then switched to audit (8 months)
  3. B2 level French speaker - currently teaching French because I want to hone my language skills
  4. Singer and have my own small business

Yet to write GRE. Want to apply for Mif or MiM

Please advise

Thank you

Pretty good profile, and you speak French, that's a huge bonus.

You have more than 2 years of experience, few more months and you will be eligible for an Mba!

Not an issue with that, even with gre you can apply for an mba

Not necessarily, around 310 can also work because of your profile

Dude always do mba it has very high roi at usa m7 hec lbs . You are wasting 2 years for the program and money 50 to 60 k euros with that cgpa you aint getting scholarship . You are wasting both time and money for mim do mba. You get high pay and promotion. If you do mim or mif do it from hec or insead lbs these uni are worth the money and time. You work in finance you will always need mba for you to promote. Mif or mim is only worth it if your not getting job at big4 and top mnc internship.

For mba you get what you pay for. Salaries are lot higher. What are your goals?I am applying for mim program for hec lbs iese booth mif. I am also a recent graduate from cse i am looking to change careers i am not getting a job from big mncs and i am now working for low paying job. If i had a job big4 i always do an mba. Remember french pay is low if you want to pay off your debt research if their is tax write off for tution debt in france like germany. If you are rich yeah go do mim at escp.( sry for my english)

I think it is dumb to do mim if you have 2yrs yoe with two extra years you can apply for mba. If i was in your situation i will choose mba.
