Hi Everyone! Looking for a profile evaluation please. Thanks in advance:
Background/Nationality: Pakistan, Age 27, Female
Education: Undergrad - BSc Accounting & Finance, GPA:3.3/4, Lahore University of Management Sciences (one of the top schools in my country)
Plus, I am a CFA Charter holder as of last year.
Extracurriculars: Played Football (Soccer) through out youth levels and at university. Vice Captain of University Team.
GMAT: Not given yet. What would be a good target score considering the schools/programs I am aiming for?
Work Experience:
Big 4 Audit - Internship during undergrad
Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) - started as a Credit Analyst, then promoted to Research Analyst (2 years)
Solon Capital - Private Equity Analyst (2 years) Solon is a PE Firm with portfolio based in West Africa that focuses mostly on impact investing in areas of education and climate.
Context: I am aiming for a MFin program in Canada (Schulich, Mcgill, Beedie, Smith etc). and hoping to continue a career in finance (investment banking, private equity etc)
I would appreciate if anyone could answer the following:
1) Is MFin the right path considering my profile and that I want to remain in Finance post Masters? Or should I be considering an MBA? Are there other MFin programs in Canada that might be a better fit?
2) Do I stand a chance in getting accepted to my target programs?
3) What would be good GMAT score for my target programs considering my overall profile?
