Hey everyone,
I’m from Turkey, graduating in June 2026 with a Bachelor in Business Administration. Planning to apply for Finance-focused master’s programs (MSc Finance / MiF) for 2028 intake, preferably Top EU or US schools (think LBS, HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, Bocconi, SSE, CBS, maybe US equivalents).
Career Goal: Start as an auditor at Turkey’s top bank, gain ~2 years of experience, then pivot to finance/consulting roles in EU/US, and eventually move into senior leadership / strategy.
Profile snapshot:
Academics: BBA, current GPA 3.70/4, expected 3.76/4 by graduation. Top student both entrance and GPA rankings.
Entrepreneurship: Founded an e-commerce business in first year; generated $4,000 revenue in 3 months.
Internships:
• Business Development Intern at a local software company
• Banking Internship at Turkey’s #1 bank
Leadership: While I’ve consistently led in every environment, I don’t have formal leadership titles in clubs (thinking of building something impactful in my last year).
Other: Actively exploring fintech, capital markets, and strategy-related projects.
GMAT Focus: Haven’t officially taken it yet. Tried 2 practice tests without prep → 615 & 645. Confident I can hit 735+ with 1–2 months of serious prep.
