660 GMAT - What are my chances? [#permalink] New post   06 Jan 2014, 11:15
I achieved a 660 Gmat score today on my first try, 45Q + 35V.

My dream programme would be any one of the following three @ London School of Economics and Political Sciences:
1. https://www.lse.ac.uk/study/graduate/tau ... _(fulltime).aspx : MSc Finance (full-time)
2. https://www.lse.ac.uk/study/graduate/tau ... omics.aspx : MSc Finance and Economics
3. https://www.lse.ac.uk/study/graduate/tau ... quity.aspx : MSc in Finance and Private Equity

What are my chances of getting into any of these programmes (especially the MSc in Finance and Private Equity one) with my current GMAT score?

Background information:
- Achieved a First Class Degree with Honors in a top 20 UK University in Business Administration with Computing
- completed 2 internships
- going to start a job as a Financial Analyst next week (though the position is within a company located in a small country)

Any thoughts & recommendations are welcomed!

Hi sebby05,

660 is not bad and you could give LSE a shot. But you should acknowledge that the programs you're targeting are among the most competitive at LSE and usually require a 700+ GMAT. If LSE is your dream school, have you considered some less competitive programs (check admit rates on the LSE website)? If you're just interested in the three mentioned programs, I would advise to retake the GMAT and aim for a 700+.

Good luck on your application!

Friendly advice, but presentation is key, and the above has quite a few spelling and grammar errors, definitely killing the message you're trying to convey.
