MSc Finance Program Chances/Advice Coming From USA
Hello, I'm a senior finance student at a non-target state school in the US (I'm a US citizen). I am considering starting my investment banking career in London, so I'm looking into getting a master's degree from a school in Europe. I am applying to the following programs:
- LBS Masters in Financial Analysis
- Oxford MSc Financial Economics
- Cambridge MPhil Finance
- LSE MSc Finance
- HEC Paris Master of International Finance
My resume is strong professionally but lacking academically. My GPA is a 3.6 (high 2:1 in UK terms), but I've had 4 internships in financial services including a REPE role at a UMM/MF PE shop and an investment banking gig at a LMM boutique before that. I also had my own business that did alright, enough to just pay my in-state tuition but nothing more. I haven't taken the GMAT Focus but I expect to score ~675 based on my practice test scores. As for my extracurriculars, just a few club/frat positions, I worked 2 jobs during the school year so didn't really have time to be a club president.
I want to know roughly what my chances are of getting into at least one of these programs. I think that my top choice would be LBS as it's more professionally-focused than the others from what I've gathered. Any advice and/or direction on what program best suits my profile would also be greatly appreciated!
Best chances are lbs and HEC because of your gpa
