MSc in Finance advice and profile evaluation
Hello monkeys,
I'm a second year student at a non-target university.
I'll be graduating with a 28/30 final GPA or a little higher and I'm expecting to get at least a 700 on my GMAT. I have a brief international experience in Switzerland (Lausanne) and will be studying 6 months at the Nova Business School in Lisbon with an Erasmus grant. I fluently speak Italian, English and have a B2 knowledge of French.
To date I have no official internship experience.
The programs I'm considering are these, listed by personal preference: (1) MSc in Finance at Bocconi (2) HSG MA in Banking and Finance at St. Gallen (3) MSc in Finance at SSE (4) International Master in Finance at Nova.
How do you see my chances?
I'm very much open to suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Nail GMAT, you should easily get Bocconi. Stay close to home and work in Italian banking, rather than going abroad. Bocconi also places well into London IBD.
Thank you for your answer. What is the range for which you consider the GMAT to be nailed? Is any result >=700 enough?
I think Bocconi is 650+. Though a 700+ GMAT will surely put you in good stead.
Might as well apply to HEC Paris too.
I didn't consider it, as with LSE, because I thought that having no internship would basically round my chances of success to 0.
I've already been admitted to LSE for next year with no internship, some non-finance work experience.. so apply for sure.
It's a very competitive program but if you score 700+ an the application fee isn't a problem for you then there's nothing to lose in applying. Where do you want to work after graduation?
