Applying to PGP Young Leaders (New PGP)I have a little weird profile and was concerned if I would make a cut.

Weird Part - I already started my MSc Finance at BI Norwegian Business School in Norway but the quality of education I feel is below par and I don't feel I will have adequate growth opportunities here. Will that create a negative impression that I am dropping out of a masters?
Can u please give a realistic view on my profile?
