MSc Finance Profile Evaluation
Bros,
Trying to get some feedback on my profile for MSc Finance Programs for 2027 Intake.
I am aiming for top programs, but got rejected last year from a couple of top business schools, however I have a lot more relevant experience and feel like my essays were weak last year.
Target schools are LSE, LBS, HEC. Imperial, Bocconi, and SSE and I'm trying to break into London (IB/PE)
My profile:
Degree: Industrial Engineering and Management at Portugal's top engineering school.
GPA: 15/20, minimum required by some of the schools but top 30% percent of my cohort.
GMAT: 695 (97th percentile)
Experience :
Summer internship in Corp Dev at a US, PE backed tech consulting firm.
Analyst role at a leading PE fund in Portugal (will have around around 9 months at time of application and around 18 months by the time of the intake)
I also have relevant volunteering and club experience.
Am I reaching? I'm also targeting a few safeties like Nova and IE but I feel like I have no idea where I stand, being rejected last year.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
