For MIT I'm pretty sure you're gonna need 720+ at least. Princeton is even more competitive. 675 is kinda low even for UK Mfin programmes.
wait nvm you said GMAT FOCUS. Doesn't that correlate to around 720 on the normal GMAT anyway? then yes MIT is def feasible.
Hi, may i ask why u think it's good to apply for a MFin in the US?
I am a maths undergrad at a top UK uni and would also intern at London s&t during this summer.
I was considering for a US master (say for big titles as they r always my dream), but it seems like it's unlikely I can get a job in s&t in the UK, by attending a MFin, even at MIT. Their recruitment season starts 1 and 1/2 year earlier so would be very inconvenient.
Then I doubt if its worth to apply for a MFin and get there for a master (which def costs £100k+) , or I should just try to get a return offer for my london s&t and start working earlier.
Any insights appreciated!
Yes, develop some leadership activities too. These guys want quant guys well rounded. Consider that you are against people who probably have QT/QR experience, top grades in mathsy bachelors, top gre/gmat, top references.
Start early and have a plan.
