Hi Rajveer
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, you have a strong academic and technical background for MSc Finance programs. A 715 FE is already competitive and puts you in a good position for your target schools.

Your finance-focused certifications show strong technical interest in finance. However, AdComs usually see these as supporting signals rather than major differentiators, so they won’t replace strong full-time finance experience. Your Market R&D Analyst role and work on systematic trading strategies and portfolio optimization is the most relevant experience in the profile. The entrepreneurial Amazon business also adds a good dimension of initiative and commercial thinking.

HEC Paris MIF: Competitive but possible with a 715+ GMAT and strong essays.
ESSEC MIF: Solid chance if the finance narrative is clear.
Imperial MSc Finance: Realistic target with your stats.
MIT Sloan MFin: Very competitive, usually admits candidates with exceptional academics, quant background, or top finance internships.

If you'd like, feel free to connect with me for a detailed discussion. I’d be happy to help you refine your school strategy and positioning for these programs.

No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.
