I am an Indian male with nearly six years of experience in accounting and finance. I am also a member of a couple of professional accounting bodies. I intend to transition to the asset and investment management industry. Moreover, I am also deeply interested in fintech.

I have secured an offer for a full-time MBA program from Warwick Business School and Cranfield School of Management. I am looking to start my studies in September 2023. Cranfield has also offered me a 33% scholarship, while I did not get any scholarship from Warwick. However, the cost is not a deciding factor for me.

During my MBA, I want to focus on leadership and entrepreneurship development aspects with exposure to fintech. I am not planning on specializing in finance, as I am pursuing CFA, which I will complete before my MBA. After finishing my MBA, I plan to work with UK asset management corporations or banks. (However, I am open to exploring entrepreneurial ventures if an opportunity arises). In the long run, I want to start my firm.

I am a bit confused about making a choice between Warwick and Cranfield as both schools seem to have a good alumni network, a curriculum focused on entrepreneurship development and strong career support. ROI on initial investment also seems similar, although Cranfield has an edge in my case due to the scholarship. Both have a fintech module. Also, neither of them has any location advantage (Cranfield is 50 miles and Warwick is 98 miles away from London.)

Which school is better considering my career goals?
Any other suggestions are also welcomed.

Hey Rahul,

You have a strong chance of getting into a good college abroad. Universities look at multiple factors when evaluating applicants, including academics, work experience, extracurricular activities, and achievements.

You have a 700 score on the GMAT and are pursuing the CFA level, which is both positive factors in your application. However, it's important to note that your GPA should be at least 7 or higher, as universities in the UK place a strong emphasis on academics.

If your GPA is below average, you may have difficulty getting into some universities, such as Warwick. However, if all factors align well, you can target top-tier schools like LBS and others, as they require clarity in terms of career opportunities, a good teacher, and years of work experience.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.
