Is applying to 8 programs/schools impractical/foolishness?
I'll be applying to LSE MSc Finance, Oxford MFE, Imperial's MSF, MIT MFin, CMC, MFin, WUSTL MSF, Vandy MSF & UT MSF in September/October. I have 750 GMAT, C/C++ & Financial Modeling trained, have CQF with distinction, CFA l2 passed & 3.5 GPA. Will have almost 24 months of mixed experience(startups+big 4+standard chartered+non profit volunteering). The only reason that I'm not applying to MBAs is because I don't think I can get into T15. There's a lot more to MBA admissions than just your grades & standardized test score.
or if I'm wrong, correct me. I'm 23 btw and international aspirant :)
Dude. Do an MBA. You can defi. get in at 10 to 15 and even T10 w/ solid applications. You have good GMAT, decent gpa and diverse experience. Hire a consultant if youre unsure of how to do good applications. whats your post mba goal? PM if you need help
Work another year, add some volunteer work (if you don't already have it), and apply to the T14. Where did you go to undergrad? If it was decent and you got a 2i or better, then you will be fine. I know a fair few Kings, UCl, Edinburgh, Oxbridge, and LSE alumni who are going to T14 MBAs this Autumn with similar work experience and a lower GMAT.
He said he has a 3.5GPA. That's good enough IMO. I even know a few people who got into T10 with 2:2s/sub-3.0GPA
They must have solid work experience or undergrad from a target school. In my case, it's non-target british school & ranked very low in QS rankings. But do you really think 24 months is enough experience? The average is 5 years. Plus I need a program that is pure finance and a little bit if not all quantitative but I will apply to the top MBAs couple years down the road after graduating, I just need another good gpa from a target or semi target. And btw, some consultants like Alex Chu and HBSguru told me that I shouldn't bother applying to T15 with that experience, so I don't know.
