Profile Evaluation - Masters in Finance

Hi, guys! Been reading WSO for a long time now and profile evaluation discussions have been really insightful and helpful. I am considering doing a MSc in Finance in one of the universities mentioned below and would like you guys to evaluate my profile.

Programs: Bocconi (MiF, AFC, MIM) SSE (MFin, MValFM, MiM) ESSEC (MiF) RSM (MFin&Inv) EUR (MFinEcon)

Goal: IB/Consulting in London/EU, consider getting into investing roles later (PE/PC/HF/AM).

Background: · BSc in Economics from a uni in Eastern/Southern Europe; local target/semi-target but unknown outside of the region. Program is very stats/math heavy which I don't really enjoy but got used to. · 90% GPA on a local grading scale. Translates to ~3.6 / 4.0 · 700 GMAT (48 Q, 38 V) · 8.0 IELTS (also speak a tiny bit of French but can learn if needed)

Experience: · Big4 corporate finance advisory · Business Valuation internship · Big4 Audit · PE internship (search fund)

Extracurriculars · Uni Investment Club · Additional courses · Big4 Deals case championship winner

Additional info: I come from a small remote town and a have a modest financial situation, thus I will need to get some kind of tuition fee waiver/scholarship to be able to attend.

Thank you!

Thanks for the input! I'm not sure about the GPA. In my uni 85%+ is A, but on the internet it says my grade is in the middle between A and B, so I guess 3.5-3.7 I actually consider retaking GMAT but have heard 700 is enough to get accepted (and maybe a scholarship).
