Hey Tanmaymandot1,
Firstly I would like to mention you have done your research and have selected pretty good universities for yourself.
I don't think you need any school recommendations.
What I would like to address here is your profile.
MFin is a great course and competitive as well.
You will be evaluated in a number of parameters. Let me break it down for you.
Education: You mentioned that you are a recent graduate with a Finance and Accounts major where you got a pretty good GPA. So you are golden here.
GMAT: GMAT is one of the key parameters on which you will be evaluated, and a 750 GMAT score is like hitting the jackpot.
Extracurricular activities: your extracurriculars are pretty decent. It definitely showcases your leadership and hard-working skills.
I would recommend you to do volunteering as well, as it will shine in your application.
Work Experience: In almost all MFin schools, work experience is mandatory, preferably in finance.
You might lag points here as you have less than a year's worth of experience.
But with your GPA and GMAT scores, it can easily be compensated for.
Your school choices are pretty good.
As your concern is about founding employment afterwards, I would say you should
target European schools as there getting a work visa is pretty easyHence you should target school: LBS, LSE, HEC , ESSEC , EDHEC.You should definitely consider applying to universities in Canada and Singapore as well. They've got pretty good MFin courses as well.
The more, the merrier
In Canada, you should target: Queens, Schulich, McGill, HEC Montreal
In Singapore, you should target: SMU, NUS, NTUYou have a pretty decent profile and can get admission to your dream university.
