Hi guys,
I've been checking out WSO for a while now and currently deciding at which universities I would like to pursue a masters in finance for 2014.
Currently, I'm an undergrad at a non-target in the Netherlands (not that there are any target schools in NL).
Now, most US universities don't have a masters in finance or something similar (like financial economics) so I am mainly focussing on Europe, especially the UK.
Ideally, I would like to join the IBD of a BB after finishing my masters in Finance.
Background:
Undergrad in Economics at a non-target, majoring in Finance.
GPA: 3.9/4.0
GMAT: Taking it very soon, score will likely be around 710.
Prior work experiences: 6m Internship, trading division at a boutique.
Did some Summer schools (Harvard, LSE) and I've
been competing in sports at a fairly high level international level from the age of 12 till 19.
Since it is not very usual for Dutch students to go abroad for a masters I'm absolutely not sure about my changes of getting in at any good schools.
LSE - Msc Finance or Msc Finance and Private Equity
Oxford Said - Msc financial Economics
Cambridge Judge - Masters of Finance
UCL - Masters in Economics (although I don't think this would be very suitable for a career in IBD)
Warwick - Masters in Finance
Imperial - Masters in Finance
You guys have any idea what my chances are of getting in one of those schools?
Cheers!
I'm in the same boat, anyone got any experience on this?
Seems like you have a decent shot. My friend had similar resume and got into one of those schools.
Best of luck.
