Profile Evaluation Next Year MIF LBS/LSE/UCL/ICL/Warwick/Bacconi/HEC

Greetings,

I would like to apply for MIF in the next year, and now I need your help to evaluate my profile and chances of getting an offer from: Tier 1: LBS(MFA), LSE(MF&A) Tier 2:UCL, ICL, Warwick, Bacconi, HEC

What I’m having under my belt right now: 1.Bachelor in F&A from #1 business school in Eastern Europe, and my GPA is quite low 4/5 and it is the main issue. To be more precise, 4/5 GPA is equivalent to US 3.2/ UK 2:2 (but not sure) 2.GMAT 750 3.CFA Level 1 4.Working while studying, 1 year at OTC trading company, and after a graduation 4 months in BB/MO 5.Wrote some articles on Seeking Alpha

Will my work experience, GMAT and CFA offset my GPA?

Thank You

You should have no problem. Cmon, the OP is working at a BB already with a CFA and top 5% GMAT. The big question is why you want to do an Msc in the first place?

Maybe UCL and LSE don't let you apply because of the 2:2 FYI.
