Hello,
Please see my profile below and kindly advise on my likelihood of admission into my desired programs, as well as key areas I need to improve on (most important parts of my app)
Profile
Location: Greater China
Undergrad: North America - Honors degree Cum GPA extremely average. Last 2 years were significantly better (GPA > 3.5)
Work Experience: Approx. 3 years working at a boutique investment banking firm doing M&A
Extra Curriculars: Various sports/social clubs in University. Also worked/still working for a charity (approx. 2 years)
Misc: CFA Level 1 completed
GMAT: Currently preparing - aiming for 700+ (or at least high 600s)
Desired Programs
Degree: Master of Finance
Location: Mostly thinking in the UK although open to additional suggestions that suit
Colleges: Imperial, LBS, LSE, Oxbridge
Goal: Investment banking in any of the bulge brackets or international IB houses
Also, for LSE, they explicitly state they need two academic references, but is this a MUST, or can it instead be one professional + one academic?
