Hi everyone! How are you doing?
I'm a third year (almost fourth) undergraduate student from Argentina, and I really need help with someone evaluating my profile since I'm a bit lost. Thank you!!

Background and nationality: I was born in China, but due to my parents' job, I've also lived in Cuba and now Argentina (for around 14 years).
Age: 22 by the time I apply
Undergrad Information: I'm a 3rd year Business Economics student. My university is ranked as the 2nd best private school in Argentina this year, and it's well known for its Economics and Business degrees. I enrolled with a 35% scholarship for being one of the top students in high school.
Targeted grad schools: ESSEC and HEC (master in finance or business analytics)
GPA: 9.05/10 (it will probably be 8.89/10 at the end of this semester)
GMAT/GRE: I haven't taken it yet, but it's expected to be around 680 (I'd try for a 700)
TOEFL: 110
Work experience:
I had a very short (2 weeks) internship in high school in an important financial service company. That's when I decided to study something related to finance
I'm starting an 1 year internship in Visa next year, and I'd probably continue working there full time when I finish college
Extracurricural activities:
I can speak 4 languages fluently --> Spanish (native), Chinese (native), English (advanced, I had taken several courses taught in English for the IB exams), Italian (intermediate, I have the CILS B2 certificate) and I'm also learning Japanese (basic).
I had obtained 2 scholarships from Banco Santander (I'm expecting a third one) to study commercial English (by British Council) and learn more about Emotional Intelligence and Neuroleadership (by ESADE)
I was elected as referrer to first year students by my university for having a good academic performance
I had been an IB exams coach for the last 3 years, and I had also been a tutor for primary school students for 1 year
Post Master goals: I'm really interested in Fintech
Anything else? I don't know if this is important, but I'm pretty good with technology --> Excel (advanced), R (advanced), Python (advanced). I had also applied for a schorlarship to study Machine Learning (by MIT)

I also wanted to add that I'll probably apply on the fourth round, and in my opinion my profile isn't that outstanding, it's better to wait a year and apply on the first round?

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 easy

Hence 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, NTU

You have a pretty decent profile and can get admission to your dream university.

All you need to do is bring out yourself and your value in your essay and SOP and draft a killer application.

If you would like, we can help you with your application process.
We have helped over 5000 students get admit into their dream schools.
