LSE MSc Applicable Mathematices & Imperial MSc Applied Mathematics: My Chances
Hi,
I recently graduated with a 2:1 (3.46 GPA) BSc in Economics and Finance from a top school in Dublin, Ireland. I majored in Mathematics and Statistics. I performed poorly in my first and second years for personal reasons but performed extremely well in my final year relatively. I received 575/625 points in my Leaving Certificate (comparable to A-Levels). My final year undergrad grades were as follows:
Differential Equations via Computer Algebra: A+
Econometrics: A+
Advanced Microeconomics: A+
Theory of Games: A
Applied Portfolio and Risk Management: A
Models - Stochastic Models: A-
Econometrics of Financial Markets: A-
Financial Economics I: C-
Financial Economics II: C-
I'm extremely interested in both the MSc Applicable Mathematics at LSE and the Imperial College London MSc Applied Mathematics and plan on applying for 2018/19. I have always been passionate about mathematics and have a keen interest in Differential Equations and Game Theory. I have completed two internships - 8 weeks in one of the big 4 (Risk Assurance) and a year with a Hedge Fund Administration firm (Investor Services). I am proficient in French and plan to become fluent within the next year.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts on my chances of getting into these courses or advice on similar courses, any relevant insights etc.
Thanks
