Hi all,

I ve done my second GMAT recently and had only 670, as it is right now the peak season for applications and I do not have time at this moment to re-do it again, could any experienced applicants shed some light on whether this will be enough to get into a good MBA program in the German speaking region??? I am from Asia and for personal reason, i would like to work in the German-speaking region as well after graduation (learning German at the moment). My IELTS is very good and GPA is around 3.3. Other than that, I have had 4 years experience in a Fortune 500, with proven record of career advancement. I am hoping for scholarships as well. My background and other criteria is good, but nothing stands out too much. Was hoping for a better GMAT but still it is not satsifying. Right now i dont know whether i should try the GMAT again or just go with it for the application. I am a woman, btw. Thanks a lot!!

Yes, I think you should go ahead and apply. I am sure you will have read through the other discussions about Germany on this discussion board and will understand the barriers to finding work in EU countries. I think the top German business schools give and excellent experience. Good luck!

Dear Duncan,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Yes i have read through the posts before and I understand that for non-EU citizens, language and work permit are two barriers for landing a job in Germany. My English is very fluent, as non-native speaker, and I am currently studying German as well, which to be honest, is not that easy! But I guess being able to speak moderate German will increase my chance.

Your posts and insights have been very helpful to me actually when I was reading through the threads. It is really kind and helpful! Thanks a lot Duncan!
