- Expecting GMAT 680+ (hopefully 710)
- Minority (Think middle eastern isch)

Will be applying to following MSc Finance/MiM at: LBS/LSE/HEC
I’d say you have pretty solid chances except for your first year grades. Do you have any extenuating circumstances to explain that?
Your GMAT also isn’t that high, but most schools in the UK don’t require it. However if you can get that up to a more impressive score it might make up for your low grades in year 1.
All else is good, especially your work experience.
Thanks for you opinion. Nope, do not have an explanation to be honest, came from an entirely different education system so not going to lie struggled in the beginning but did extremely well in my 2nd year in my opinion.
Will try to smash my GMAT, got 680 on my mock so should be able to get 700+ if I just keep on going. Thanks for your input.
I understand the struggle. The education system in the UK is much harder than I expected it to be tbh, and I also struggled in my first year. You showed incredible improvement and I’m sure that will be valued.
Best of luck on the GMAT - considering it was a mock, 680 is pretty good and you still have plenty of time to work on it!
