Hello,
I plan on applying for Master in Finance programs starting fall 2016 and I would be very grateful if you give me some advices. I know it's a bit late but my first and only choice was RSM Master in Finance & Investments Advanced which they opened this year. Unfortunately, they made their first selection based on GMAT only, not taking into consideration any other factors and therefore I got rejected. I can still choose their regular Finance & Investments program tho.
1. Profile:
2. Age: 24
3. Nationality: Polish
4. Education: Bachelor in Finance and Accounting (8.4/10 GPA), Master in Law (8.6/10) GPA at Kozminski University in Warsaw, not a very good one but the best in Poland
5. GMAT: 680
6. Internships: 8 months in PwC M&A, 3 months in Enterprise Credit Risk Management of Raiffeisen Bank, 2 other, less relevant internships in Banking (UniCredit Group)
7. 1-year exchange program at IE Business School in Madrid
I am interested in European schools mostly, because of the financial aspect. I planned to apply for RSM only because it is much cheaper compared to any other b-school. In case I will choose to go somewhere else, I will need a student loan for 100% of tuition fee and possibly a scholarship. I thought about applying for MSF at Esade and Hec, but my future plans consider either working in investment banking in London or MMB in Poland. In this case, do you think it is worth to pay 25k euro for ESADE, compared to 2k euro for the regular program at RSM? RSM also gives a possibility of going on exchange and has partnership with such b-schools as Wharton or Duke.
