Chances for Oxford MFE, LBS MFA and LSE Mfin

I am currently a sophomore studying Computer Science in a tier 3 University in India. I cleared CFA Level one with 90 percentile . My current grades are 90% and while applying I should be close to 95%. I am planning on taking the CFA level 2 as well before applying. I have some internships in finance but not any big names in roles like equity research and financial analysis.I also have an internship in Machine Learning. I am planning on getting a consulting internship in my last year in the Big 4 or ZS ,but this will be after my application. My GMAT score is 750. I will be applying for 2025. I have many certifications in financial modelling and business analytics. I also have learnt Japanese and have N5 and N4 JLPT Certifications. I am also a club head at the pre placement club at my University. My end goal is to work in IB M&A or Consulting. What can I do to improve my profile and what are my chances for Oxford MFE, LBS MFA and LSE Mfin?

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, your profile seems quite strong for the Oxford MFE, LBS MFA, and LSE Mfin programs. Your high GMAT score, CFA Level 1 clearance, and strong academic performance are all positive factors. Your internships in finance and machine learning, along with your leadership role in the pre-placement club, also add value to your profile.

However, there are a few areas you could focus on to further strengthen your application:

  1. Relevant Work Experience: While your internships are valuable, gaining experience at a well-known financial institution could significantly boost your profile.

  2. Networking: Building relationships with alumni or current students of these programs can provide valuable insights and potentially strengthen your application.

  3. Application Materials: Ensure your essays, letters of recommendation, and CV/resume are well-crafted and highlight your strengths, achievements, and fit for the program.

  4. Interview Preparation: If you're invited for an interview, thorough preparation is key. WSO offers interview prep courses that could be beneficial.

Remember, while your profile is important, admission to these programs is holistic and will consider all aspects of your application. Good luck!
