@"Esuric" I'd like to know what you have to say....about this. @"TNA", you too!
anyone else?
Maybe @illiniprogrammer can comment on MIT?
It's worth an app.
Does world bank project mean you worked for the world bank or you worked on something they funded? 15% shot if no world bank, 50% shot if yes.
Don't be surprised if they want an in-person interview in Paris. I would say the interview invite means your odds have increased to 40%. You will have to decide if a 40% shot at MIT is worth a $2k plane ticket.
OP what math classes have you taken?
Thzank you. I haven't taken any math classes but a lot of math was ingrained in hardcore finance classes. Plus I've taken independent math courses and I could actually solve the pre req paper they have on their website. I know VBA financial modeling and C++. Secondly, by world bank project, I meant that it's a project set up by Work Bank and Goverment of Pakistan in northern Pakistan and is directly funded by WB. It's 5 year project but they renew it but maybe this time they won't. Another question, MIT doesn't interview shortlisted candidates via Skype? Is in person interview a must? Flying to europe or london from here for an interview is ridiculous. maybe dubai which closest to me?
My brother thinks you have a good chance at MIT given your country and GMAT. I think there is a skype option, but everyone who got in from India did an in person interview.
Also, @"TNA", How about Vanderbilt PhD? They accept GMAT? Do you think I can get in?
I think you have a great shot at any program. LSE and MIT will be the hardest ones to get into (small class size and crazy good applicants) If I were you, I would Take MIT>LSE>LBS. The rest will give you a chance at IB (with Duke not doing so well in IB recruiting if I remember correctly) I don't know where you are on deadlines for the US schools though...

MIT states their suggested math background for the MFin program on their admissions page. As @IlliniProgrammer stated above, on part of the application you list the quantitative courses you have taken. In addition, I was explicitly asked in my interview about the math courses listed that I hadn't taken (lots).
did you get in? Can you share profile?
