Applying to different MSc Finance in the UK (LSE, Imperial, Ox)

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether you guys could give your 2 cents on my chances of being admitted to the following programmes: - MSc Finance at Imperial Business (or Investment/Wealth Management since they are quite similar) - MSc Finance & Mathematics at Imperial College - MSc Finance at LSE - MSc Financial Mathematics at LSE - MSc Financial Economics Oxford Said

Profile From the Netherlands and I have an Economics bachelor (7.5/10) and almost in possession of an Econometrics (basically only math/statistics) bachelor as well (8/10). I have quite some "social" ec (student society), but also work experience and IB internship for 4 months in the coming months. I also played sports (golf) at a national level. I plan on applying this september/october to start in sept 2018.

Do some of you guys know how quantitative the Finance/Financial Economics masters are at Imperial, LSE, Oxford considering my background in econometrics? Most people really single out the quantitative character being on of the top aspects of Imperial, but i dont know whether it is really that quantitative or they find it to be really quantitative given they only have a background in business/economics/finance.

Cheers!
