Profile evaluation - Msc Finance

Hi everyone, I would like to know which business School are within reach based on my profile ?

french/Mauritian student , 21 years old male

Undergrad : Non target Australian B-School , Double major in Banking and Finance , 87% Course weighted average (CPA) Awards : - Member of vice chancellors list 3 times (granted to the top 1% of undergraduates across all campuses and majors) - Received Letter of commendation twice.

Experience : - 3months internship in a local bank (Mauritius) - External Asset management - Starting a full time job in Audit - Big 4 next month

Extra-Curricular - Maths peer tutor for the university - Assistant researcher for 4months (mostly data gathering + interviews) - Selected to participate in the CFA Research Challenge to represent the Uni (result : Local 3rd)

Volunteering: - Tennis coach for 1 month (kids) - Helped the uni start a campaign to educate middle-income population in matters related to insurance/pension funds, investing in the stock market...

Language : Fluent in french and English, Spanish (limited proficiency)

Software : Office, python (beginner)

Areas of interest : Financial modelling, portfolio management

Gmat : Not yet taken ( took a long time to decide if I should attempt it or not due to a heavy workload + mandatory ACCA papers I have to take with my new job)

Targets : Open to suggestions ? Ideally some top european business schools but not tier 1 as I don't believe my profile is competitive enough hence : Rotterdam, Esade, Ie, Warwick, Dauphine (France), HEC Lausanne , Copenhaguen , KCL, Cass, or some AustralianB-Schools (ANU/Melbourne)

Thanks in advance for your time,

Would greatly appreciate if you could recommend universities I should apply to based on my profile and best Schools without Gmat requirement !

Regards

Without the GMAT I believe ESADE is your best bet. Alternatively you could do the entrance exam for IE which shouldn’t take as long as the GMAT!

 

Thank you for your answer ! However ESADE do require that I take the Gmat before they can process with the application. What would be the best Msc Finance without a Gmat? Hec Lausanne ?
