Hi
anmol2005,
The schools you are targeting are competitive. Overall you seem to be a strong candidate and I hope this evaluation would be helpful. The aspects most relevant for an MSc Finance applicant at top schools are
• academic focus: Getting a competitive GMAT score is important. Target a 710+. You should talk about your academic achievements, scholarships, and recognition (if any) to demonstrate a strong academic inclination.
• Proof of enthusiasm and motivation for the study of the subject :
What I like about your profile is that you have a finance specialization and work experience in IB. To give context around your choice of métier, talk about being passionate about business studies and finance since early, and supplement your interest with examples of courses or internships you did. Reflect on how you found a job that put you on the right track for your IB goals.
• Super curricular – Want to make a favorable impression? Talk about any supplementary books, articles, research papers, newspapers you read, and podcasts you listen to. How do these activities support and complement your interest in the subject?
I advise you to cover this point well in your sops
• Extra-Curricular
You are actively involved in an NGO. What are you truly passionate about outside of work?
Reflect on the transferrable skills from these experiences that will help you achieve goals in future as a business/finance leader
Other points to keep in mind
• Show originality and thought process in your application
• Show active engagement with the target schools
If you wish to seek professional guidance do reach out.
