Princeton Mfin chances with my GPA?

Please could someone give advice on what my chances are for Princeton’s MFin program?

I just graduated from LSE with a 2:1 in Bsc Economics (roughly equivalent to 3.6 GPA). I did very bad in first and second year, but extremely well in final year.

In first and second year my quant modules included a high mark in statistics but a very low mark in a maths and econometrics modules.

In final year, I got a very high mark in quantitative finance and actuarial science modules.

I also scored 770 in the GMAT (51 quant).

I also did a S&T summer internship at Goldman Sachs.

I’m very worried About 2 poor marks in first and second year in a maths module and econometrics module, even though my quantitative finance final year module was very high and my first year statistics module scored very High.

Do I have a chance at Princeton MFin.

Thanks!

James

 

Lower or upper second? Upper would be fine (it’s like a 3.5-3.7 GPA), but lower would be more problematic I imagine. But your GMAT is great and you have a quantitative major with some solid internship experience, so I think an upper second gives you a decent shot.
