Profile evaluation - MSc in Management / MSc in Finance [#permalink] New post 09 Mar 2011, 20:59
hi,

could you please evaluate my chances:
1) No work experience. Only a 4 month internship with a non-profit startup
2) taking in october/november 2011, but 700 is achievable
3) a university from Republic of Moldova 2+1 years; average 9.2/10 (Finance and Banking 2008-2012)
exchange student (full scholarship ~$50k): small liberal arts college in USA / 1 year (2010-2011); 4.0 GPA / Dean's List (Business)
4) extensive volunteering experience as project manager and treasurer for youth projects; leadership positions in student government (vice-president) and international club; short teaching assistant experience (less than 2 weeks programs);
6) target progams: pre-experience programs, mainly London Business School - MSc in Management; London School of Economics - MSc in Finance, Stockholm School of Economics - MSc Business and Finance, +1-2 other European schools

debating between applying to Round 1 or Round 2, given the fact I have a GMAT >700
what other schools should I consider, based my picks?
thanks

Yes, the pre-experience programs are going to be looking for stellar academics, GMAT score, and extracurricular involvement. You seem to have all three of those, so I believe your chances are good. I would also recommend that you look into Duke's Master of Management Studies and UVA's MS in Commerce as strong options if you are interested in studying in the US.
