Profile evaluation - MFin LBS, ESSEC, LSE, Oxford, St Gallen, Bocconi

Hey guys,

Planning to do a Masters in Finance from a top B-School in EU to get into AM / PE / IB (preferably London)

Profile: - Bsc. Finance with a 3/4 GPA (doesn’t do me well for academic focused schools) - 4 years of work experience in Credit Research (EU focused) - Passed CFA L1 and FRM L1 (more inclined towards completing FRM this year as CFA course duplication very high with by bachelors so want to add quant fin skills via FRM) - GMAT: Targeting 700-720

Had a profile review with LBS MFin admissions team and received a positive response stating an application is encouraged as basic requirements are met

Just wondering what are my chances in the top B-Schools in Europe for MFin? (2023 intake)

Will my GMAT target score suffice or should I target for more?

Any other suggestions would really help me a lot!

Cheers!
