Dear PETERHAN,

Thank you for your posting to the Clear Admit thread. I have responded below:

Please help evaluate my chance.

Thanks for your effort and time here with this kind service.

I would like you help evaluate my chance into the top B-school. I am targeting at LBS, INSEAD, etc. Are you exclusively looking at the European programs? Obviously, if your goal is to work in Europe, INSEAD and LBS make good sense - as do some of the top US programs like HBS, Wharton, etc.

30 years old, GMAT 740 (qt 50, 96%; vb 40), four years of working experience in China for an Chinese government Office, including three years of manager experience. 5 years of european working experience including 3 years of Ph.D program, with several papers published on prestigour science journal. I want to change career to investment or finance. With an undergraduate major of agronmy and a Ph.D of biochemistry from a top european university. It sounds like you have a very unique background, with above average academics (the PhD and high GMAT score in particular) and some non-traditional work in government and academia. As a non-traditional candidate who is slightly older and has a heavy slant towards academia, you will have to do a very good job when it comes to outlining your career path and need for the MBA, but I see no reason why you can't be competitive at the top schools.

Are you looking at INSEAD's approaching deadline for their January program? If so, please contact us via email (include a CV) so that I can give you a more detailed assessment of your chances and provide you with some information about how Clear Admit can help.

Best of luck,

Graham Richmond
