Chance at LSE MSc A&F/Finance
I'm currently studying at RSM, Bsc International Business Administration.
-
I got a 7.91 in my first year (2:1, 8.0 and up is 1st), my performance slipped this year, by the time I'll be applying my GPA will likely be 7.8. Achieving an 8.0 seems unlikely.
-
Assisted in the organization of a case competition at an Ivy League School
-
Research Assistant in the finance department, topic is historic capital issues
-
Treasurer of Finance Association
-
Will likely do an independant research project related to financial mathematics
-
No internship (can still be secured for fall, but hard given courses and postgrad applications)
-
LSE summerschool in financial markets
How does my application look? I'm somewhat insecure about my GPA, given that I don't have a 1st. Other options include MSc at RSM in Finance & Investments, if you have other suggestions I would be very interested to hear them.
Will be taking it In september, what should I aim for?
Obviously the higher the better. For that course, try to get at least 670/80 Have you already tried mock tests etc?

It indeed seems like a good strategy.
But Sir, that "first day" thing is tricky: - How to properly brainstorm and come up with curated Essays when the applicant doesn't actually know the Essay questions (which are visible from the day applications open)? (especially if a admission consultant was hired to help out and help edit the Essays) - Even recommenders may receive program-specific guidelines (on length, format, etc.). That, can also be engineered only when applications open.
I see your point; and it is a fair, valid one. But "applying first day" looks impossible to me in reality... :/
Btw, so you're also saying the 'rolling basis' thing applies even within any given Round? Aren't applications reviewed once the application deadline for a specific round of application has passed? (Just looking for clarifications :))
