GMAT 760 Profile Evaluation for MSc Finance 18 Oct 2018, 00:46

Hello, I would very much appreciate if you helped me with evaluating some aspects of my profile.

I am looking to apply to Master in Finance programs in Europe ( LSE, HEC, University of Saint Gallen, etc.) and possibly in the US.

I have a GMAT score of 760 ( V50, Q47) with IR - 6 and AWA - 5.5. I have graduated from the American University of Armenia ( GPA 3.9) with BA in Business degree. I have done a few short internships such as in the Central Bank of Armenia. I have worked as a teaching assistant in my university. Also, I was a founding member of the Finance Club and the Vice-president of the chess club. My undergraduate honors thesis received a "Best Thesis Award". After graduating I started my own logistics business (which has nothing to do with finance).

I wondering whether I have a good chance of getting admitted to top European Msc Finance programs and whether or not there are programs in the US that would suit my profile. Is the irrelevance of my current work experience too much of a problem for Business schools ? What would you suggest me do?

Hi 170896,

Thank you for sharing your story. How long have you been running your logistics business? How is its performing financially? The reason I'm asking admissions teams often view ventures as hobbies. You have a great GMAT score and academics, which will serve you well. Your logistics business should not impede you from being successful in your application, provided you clearly showcase the reason for an MSc in Finance. Of course, you require strong essays to really bring your entire profile together. I would require a better understanding of your profile to provide recommendations on programs you should target.

If you are interested in continuing the conversation, please reach out to coordinate a call (contact details in signature).

Good luck!
