Profile evaluation MSc Finance - LSE / LBS / HEC / SSE

Hello all,

I am going to apply for an MSc in Finance next fall (2023 intake), and my target schools are LSE (MSc Finance), LBS (MFA), HEC (MiF or MiM Grande École) and SSE (MSc Finance)

Here's my profile:

  • 21 y.o. male

  • Currently undertaking Bachelor's in Economics with a 4.0/4.0 GPA from a top Nordic business school (Dean's list limit ~3.8)

  • GMAT yet to be taken, expecting 720

  • Work exp.: internship in asset management, research assistant at dept. of economics

  • Fluent in Swedish, English, French and Finnish

  • Leadership exp. from military service and former national level youth athlete, some extracurriculars

With a strong motivation letter, what are my chances for the programmes mentioned above? Thank you for your replies

 

Hey, would say you defintely have the four best pick of schools. LBS MFA would probably be the best choice. Less workload and a fantastic career service team compared to like LSE. LSE Msc Finance is also a great choice (although more academic and less practical courses). HEC MiM or MiF is good but less known internationally than the other two. SSE is a fantastic school with probably one the best ROI in Europe for finance. Good luck, you can't get wrong with any of these :) 

 

Can you stop shilling under every post for LBS for 5 seconds?
