“If I don’t do well...” You’ve not even taken the test yet with such negative energy. Bro is a NO NO
Why the negative energy?
What’s your target score?
Why targeting only schools which don’t require GMAT? (the fact that they don’t require means you should even perform above average,since for all we know it’s not part of thier requirements)

Hi,
I am in the process of applying to Masters in Finance programs and wanted to get some feedback on my chances of getting into some of the schools I am looking into.
1. Male 22, from Canada
2. Queen's University BA in Applied Economics (2019) 3.63/4.3 (Top 10% = 3.5 at my school)
- GMAT: not taken yet (planning to take it in November, but wanted to know about chances without it as some schools don't require it)
3. WE:
- 4 Month internship at Fintech startup (worked consulting and operations)
- 4 Month internship resolution planning at CDIC (Risk modelling at Canada's resolution authority)
- 6 Months as an Analyst with resolution planning at CDIC (Risk modelling again with Matlab)
- Probably doing another internship Summer 2020 but would this even be reflected in applications for semesters starting September 2020?
4. Relevant Skills
- Coding: MATLAB, Python
- Statistical Software: STATA
5. Looking for Masters of Finance programs starting in Sept. 2020 in the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore
- After looking into front office or trading positions at banks and investment funds.
- Also looking at more quant focused programs to apply coding into work
6. List of Schools I'm looking at, hopefully target/semi-targets
- London School of Economics
- Oxford
- Warwick (GMAT not required but helpful)
- Edinburgh (GMAT not required but helpful)
- Imperial College Business School (GMAT not required but helpful)
- Hong Kong University (GMAT not required but helpful)
- National University of Singapore (GMAT not required but helpful)
- MIT
- Open to any other suggestions?
Please let me know what you think, kind of worried now if I don't do well on the GMAT what my chances at schools not requiring it would be?
Thanks,
Jacob
