sklevel · Answer

Applied in the first round

My profile: GMAT 750 (Q49/V42) International Business Administration at Rotterdam School of Management, GPA 8.6/10 so 1st hons equivalent Internship in commodity sales and trading company Multiple related on-campus extracurriculars (Asset Management/Investment associations, published research for both of them) we're gonna see how it goes, does anyone know if all decisions are released on the same day? or the 8th of Dec is the ultimate day on which we can receive the decision? Good luck to y'all!

AleG1412 · Answer

That’s a strong profile!

Applied R1 too.

GMAT 730 (Q47; V44)

2 internships (M&A and WM)

Think that the decision can be released even before dec 8th. They said *by* December 8th on the website!

Fingers crossed!

Kudron · Answer

You have a strong profile and a lot of work experience for a pre-experience master. Have you considered applying to a post-experience master (such as Cambridge's MFin) or a Finance-focused MBA?

Syavashp · Answer

I am applying to the Cambridge MFIN as well but I don't see great placements for that program. If you have any info on that I'd appreciate it.

Other than Cambridge, I have applied to LBS in R1 and got waitlisted so I'll find out in February. That is obviously my top choice but Cambridge/Oxford/LSE are backups.

Kudron · Answer

That makes much more sense to me

I think your profile (apart from demographics for Oxford, since you will be hanging out with 22 yo) is strong, best of luck with your applications and I sincerely hope you can ultimately convert your LBS waitlist to an admit!
