What do you guys think are my chances at these?
Truly appreciate any advice/suggestions you have.
Thanks in advance!
@"TNA" Would love your inputs on this. Truly value any advice you might have. Thanks!
Can only comment on LBS and LSE since I don't know too much about US masters but I think you have a good profile. A big name on your CV would help though (for an internship) although its not essential. You definitely have a shot at LSE and LBS.
@"youjustgotlittup" Thanks! Which program at LSE do you reckon I should apply for considering the aim is to get into IB?
MSc Finance or MSc Finance & Economics are definitely the top programs for IB.
@"youjustgotlittup" From what I have read around the web, MSc Finance & Accounting is the most suitable for IB but I might be wrong! Since all of these programs have equal access to recruiters on campus, which one should I go for balancing the fact that the program's suitable along with better chances of getting in? Again, from what I hear, some of the programs are more competitive than the others!
Ok let me make you some lists.
Difficulty of the program: 1. Finance & Economics (this is one tough course, quant heavy) 2. Finance (for a generalist finance master this one is quite quant heavy as well) 3. Accounting & Finance (not quant heavy)
Suitability for IB: 1. Finance 2. F&E 3. A&F (your information on A&F is wrong, trust me. You'll still have a good shot at IB but Finance and F&E are stronger in this field)
Difficulty to get in: 1. F&E and Finance (for Finance more people apply and the acceptance % is lower but for F&E more very smart people will apply because the program is so difficult. I say it cancels out) 3. A&F (double the acceptance % of Finance, less applicants)
With neither of the 3 programs you can really go wrong but I would choose F&E or Finance definitely over A&F. If you prefer F&E or Finance really depends on whether you like economics and how good your math is.
Thanks! Will definitely keep your suggestions in mind.
