How is Strathclyde business school MsC?
Hi, I have been accepted to strathclyde business school for their MsC finance, I wonder wether or not it is good for IBD or if I should wait and reapply to other universities?
What's your background?
I would say in general, for IBD, you have a very small chance unless you apply for local firms in Scotland (where it still won't be easy but you have a shot)
This is unless there's a Strathclyde elsewhere in the world, but I imagine you're talking about the one in Glasgow.
Yes thats the one, I am from Stockholm and did my bachelors here (Stockholm University), some internships but not much in that area. Is Glasgow University a more suitable choice or should I consider working and doing GMAT to reapply for another university and master?
Any particularly reason you want to go to Glasgow? It seems a rather odd choice if I'm honest.
But yes, University of Glasgow is better, you'll still have your work cut out to get into IBD but a significantly better chance than Strathclyde.
In Scotland the two that a best regarded are St Andrews and University of Edinburgh.
Thank you for your answer. I just went on ranking and schools with no GMAT requirement so thats how I ended up there. I see. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? I guess working and reapplying is the way to go? In Europe and UK, where should you go? I figure I wont get into the top tier schools like LSE.
I don't really know much about the schools in Europe excluding the top tier ones, I would imagine St Gallen, ESADE, HEC, Mannheim do very well, but others will know better than I do regarding Masters.
In the UK, the top are Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial and Warwick. But you could look at UCL, Kings, Durham, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham.. they don't buy you a way into IBD but they won't get you rejected either. Basically if you stick to Russell Group, you should have a half decent chance.
This is all based purely on the universities' reputations, the rest will depend on extracurriculars, academic grades, experience, etc.
