Hello everyone,
I received an offer from the MSc Finance and Accounting at Imperial. However, I have less than one year work experience in management control. I don't know if it would be more beneficial for me to do a gap year to get more pro exp (and then try to apply for better school) or join the master ?
If you got any opinions on this, please share.

In the current job market I probably wouldn't risk going to a semi-target with no relevant experience, but it all depends on your exact situation.
Thanks
Maybe it's worth getting additional experience and in the meantime apply for LSE/LBS/HEC
Thanks
As previous comments mentioned, Imperial is a good university though the MSc F&A probably is not on the same level as some other MSc programs (e.g. MSc Fin LSE, MiF HEC, LBS MFA, etc.). However it always depends what your career goals are after graduation. If you try to get into a BB in London, I'd recommend you to take a gap year, get some experience and reapply next year to some other unis.
Thanks
What about A&F at LSE? Would you recommend is over Imperial ?
LSE A&F is a pretty strong pick I guess. I can always recommend reading this thread:
