When is it too late to apply to LSE Accounting & Finance Masters
Hi,
I will probably only be able to do the GMAT in Mid March, and only be able to apply by then to the LSE. Do you think it is too late by then? I guess will not be able to score super high, I am aiming for 680-690.
Other than that I come from central Europe, female (I guess that helps), have done internship at a growth fund, MBB, a startup and Big4. I have a 1st class degree in international relations.
Do you think I still have a chance?
Many thanks!!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, applying to the LSE MSc Accounting and Finance program in mid-March may be cutting it close, as many competitive programs have application deadlines earlier in the year. However, each year can vary, and it's important to check the specific deadlines for the year you are applying.
Your GMAT score aim of 680-690 is quite competitive, and your diverse internship experience, along with a first-class degree in international relations, will strengthen your application. Being from central Europe and female can also add to the diversity of the applicant pool, which may be beneficial.
Here's a breakdown of your profile strengths: - Internship Experience: Growth fund, MBB, startup, and Big4 experience is impressive and relevant. - Academic Performance: A first-class degree is excellent and will be a strong aspect of your application. - GMAT Score: While not super high, a score of 680-690 is still competitive for many programs.
Given your strong profile, you may still have a chance even with a later application, but it's crucial to apply as soon as possible after obtaining your GMAT score. Also, consider reaching out directly to the admissions office to inquire about your specific situation and any rolling admissions policies they may have.

hi. did you end up applying? A year in the future i’m in the same position and I think march might be to late for me to take the gmat? Did you take it and if so what was the score and did you get accepted.
No, I did not apply for this course but to another at LSE were o GMAT was nneeded. You can still apply to MFA if you are quick with your GMAT. You could also apply to Imperial.
Thanks for the info. I’m going to apply to imperial. Any suggestions for LSE courses that don’t require GMAT?
I applied to a social science one. Real Estate Finace does not require one afaik.
