Am I competitive for Oxford MFE?

Based on previous WSO threads, here's what you need to know:

1. Academic Background:

   • You have a strong GRE score (170Q / 162V) which is competitive.
   • Your mid-70s (first class) score in your second year at a target university is also a positive indicator.

2. Work Experience:

   • Previous internship at a Mega Fund Private Equity (MF PE) and an incoming internship at a Bulge Bracket (BB) bank are significant strengths.

3. General Advice:

   • Oxford values a good quantitative background and solid grades, which you seem to have.
   • Work experience, especially in high-profile internships like yours, is highly regarded.

Given your strong GRE scores, relevant internships, and solid academic performance, you appear to be a competitive candidate for the Oxford MFE program. However, always ensure to highlight your unique experiences and strengths in your application to stand out further.
