Picks for Master in Finance to Asset Management
Hi fellas. I just got my GMAT score and I'm really excited about it. I got 740 (Q50V41), 97th percentile I think. Given that I'd be an international student, I was pretty hopeless about having a shot at any B-school, but I think this changes it. I'm also expecting to pass CFA level 1 and currently waiting for my internship in ER to start (next Nov). I'm passionate about following markets, fundamental analysis, performance attributions... etc. And AM is where I want to be short and long term.
Will it be possible to get from Master in Finance to Asset Management in Europe (London, preferably)? I speak French fluently, but obviously London is naturally the target.
Again, being an international student inherently limits my options, due to factors such as costs & visa. I thought about picking Bocconi and ESSEC as my first options. However, I browsed through older threads where two points were clear: 1) London likes London, and it's extremely difficult to find any AM roles in London; and 2) Firms focus on hiring locals from the schools' countries. What do you guys think? What would you suggest?

LBS MFA (I'm an ESSEC fellow BTW)
Unfortunately cost is a huge deterrent. The initial deposits are extremely hard to fund in a timely manner (it's complicated, but it's almost impossible to make payments on time).
For Bocconi, many users have - in old threads - alluded to Bocconi's 1st-yr tuition waiver for high GMAT scores. 2nd-yr can be financed using internship(s) money. ESSEC said they could deduct deposits using scholarships. That's why I'm considering them as I'm really in a difficult place.
I'm a Canadian with a 760, 740 seems like a solid shot at Bocconi scholarship - though I didn't take my offer. I feel the exact same way with LSE/LBS.
