devsinghvi · Answer

I currently have applied to 5 schools, MIT Sloan, Imperial College London, NUS, Warwick and Manchester.
Have already interviewed for Imperial and NUS. Wanted to know about how long does it take for Imperial to get back post interview. And for MIT, by do they usually send the process or rejective mails?

I have applied to Oxford MFE, Cambridge MPhil Finance, Imperial MSc Finance and LSE MSc Finance. Have completed my kira interviews for Oxford and Imperial.

Does anyone know if every stage 2 applicant receives his or her decision by the deadline 1 March 2023 for Oxford MFE? Or if some applicants are admitted before the deadline perhaps? Also, like  devsinghvi , wondering how long it takes before you hear back from Imperial after having completed the video interview.

Do you guys mind sharing your profiles as well?

devsinghvi · Answer

Can't quote the exact questions but the questions range from behavioural to finance related. It is a pool of questions and randomly, 6 questions will pop-up. The preparation time is good enough to prepare but I would suggest going through the basic questions about you, like a leadership development event, or something big that changed you. Questions like these will help you prepare for a range of smaller questions. 
Just my suggestion and Best of luck for your interview.

Hello, if anyone of you could evaluate my profile, it would be really appreciated Thanks in advance

I am from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. I am a Computer Science Engineering undergraduate from a Gandhi Institute of technology and management (deemed) university in Vizag, which is a decent college in INDIA and in Andhra Pradesh. I am a fresher with a 7.23 CGPA i.e 3.1 GPA (in the US Scale). I have scored 705 in the GMAT and 7 band points in IELTS examination. My Profile incudes huge range of leadership roles and activities. Right from my childhood I've been an enthusiastic child at school. Later in my undergraduation, I've been into technical projects in my computer science background and then an internship in the same sector. Since my 2nd year in college I have been into multiple organisations and into team leader roles and other volunteer works. I've worked into an organisation called AIESEC for a year, where I have been a team leader, organised events, organised multiple teams and overshooted my targets and increased the revenue by 50% to the organisation. Later I've been into market research internships, human resource internships and other marketing projects. Also, during covid I've done multiple online certification courses like digital marketing, negotiation, MS OFFICE, Advanced Python. Also the past few months after graduation I've been associated with a Startup incubator, where i was able to contribute to the incubator through my network in vizag and organisational skills and was able to build the incubator from scratch and was in close working space with the CEO of the incubator and learnt a lot about startups and the startup culture in the past few months. I have strong letters of recommendation from this reputed CEO, who is also an alumni from very prestigious b-schools around the globe and in India, i.e from Harvard and from IIM Bangalore.

Hi  RalohcsReka , I also applied for LSE, SBS, and Imperial. Good luck ! I'm trying to get an answer to this question too since three weeks lol ! I'm not sure at 100%, but it seems that Oxford sends both admission and rejections the same day, on the deadline.

Chaitr : It sounds like you have the makings of a good profile for several MiF programs. I am confused, how did you get a 705 on the GMAT? That's a valid score since they are in intervals of 10. Your GPA is average if it's a 3.1 US-equivalent. That might put some pressure on the other components of your application to be extra strong. Do you have any sense for where you want to pursue your MiF degree? Are you looking at the US? EU/UK? India? Please provide any additional information on your interests so we can more appropriately evaluate your profile. You can also reach out for a free consultation if you are seeking professional help. https://admissionado.com/free-consultation/ -Admissionado
