Hey all,
I am an engineer currently working in Bangalore, India. I plan to apply for an MSF program for the coming fall ( Fall 2017).
I would request you to evaluate my profile and suggest some safe/moderate and ambitious universities.
My profile is as follows:
B.E Electronics and Comm from VTU, GPA 7.97/10 ( First Class With Distinction)
GRE - 320 (Q165 and V155) / AWA - 4/6
TOEFL - taking next week, expecting above 100
Have completed 1.5 years working for a middle eastern based bank, in the technology sector, out of which have worked 4 months exclusively in project management.
Planning to take up and clear CFA level 1 next June
1 international research paper in Control Systems.
Hoping to get 2 LoRs - one from manager at work and one from Head of Department at college.
The schools I wish to apply for are :
USA :
USC
TAMU
UIUC
Simon
Europe:
Imperial
HEC ( For both Msc in Finance and MiM)
Stockholm School of Economics
I feel the above schools are a little too ambitious for me. I would like to know what else I can do to strengthen my application. Also,I would like some suggestions for some safe schools as well.
Thanks a lot!
