And a little bit.


I want to get Msc in Risk Management and Finance or Financial Engineering Type courses in the UK

Unis I am applying for:
1. LSE - MSc Finance and Risk
2. Imperial - Msc Risk management and Finance
3. LSB - Masters in Financial Analysis
4. Wharwick - Mathematical Fiance
5. HSE - specialized course in Finance

It would be kind of you to clarify these for me:
- Is it not possible to get into Tier 1 Unis like LSE or Imperial with my academic profile + Experience?
- What should my minimum GMAT score be?
- Do you recommend any other Good Unis that I should go for?


I am still lost about making my CV/LOR/SOP, I know ICL deadline is coming so, some I wish to take consultation if I can get tier 1 Unis (ik it’s pretty greedy of me), is that a good Idea?
Hi - I think you can focus on top tier programs - unless something goes really wrong with the GMAT (aim for 655+). With CGPA I’d also make sure to emphasize your CQF to reaffirm your readiness for these programs. Let’s chat more - JeniferT@ARINGO.com
