Should I pursue a MSc in Finance to get into IB London
Hi guys,
I'm currently a second-year bachelor's student in Bocconi. I want to break into IB after my studies, preferably in London.
Unfortunately, I was pretty late with the preparation for SA and could not land one. I'm currently doing an internship in the financial planning department at a big company in the industrial sector. I might be able to land an off-cycle internship (through connections) at a bank in the third year of my Bachelor's.
My GPA is the equivalent of 4.0 or First Class Honours. I've joined different associations at my uni and am fluent in 3 languages (including Chinese). I still need to take GMAT, but I'm expecting a score of 700+.
Should I do a gap year to gain more experience or get an MSc in Finance in London (LBS, LSE, Imperial)? The problem is that these programs' lengths are around 1 year. Therefore, I won't be able to do an internship during my MSc, unlike with an MSc of 2 years (Bocconi, HEC).
Considering my potential cv, should I be worried that I won't be able to break into London IB?
If your undergrad is 3 years then apply for SA for next year with the intention g doing a masters. Then you’ll be a penultimate year student.
Extremely extremely common, arguably as much/more than the usual 3 year undergrad route for London
