MSF straight after graduation?

Hey guys,

I’ve just finished my 2nd year at a top tier UK university (Oxbridge, LSE etc). I will graduate in 2024

I didn’t get into a structured SA programme for any IB, but I did manage to network my way into an internship at a small private investing team.

My plan was to use this experience and try again next year for 2024 SAs and do my MSF immediately after I graduate.

Is this a good plan or should I consider another route into IB?

Any advice will be helpful :)
