Hello
jppresa,
Thank you for sharing. It is great that you are beginning the planning process now. A 720+ GMAT should situate you well, and sounds attainable per your latest mock.
As for your work experience, masters programs in finance do not necessarily require experience. However, schools will want to see how you have demonstrated leadership. If not through an internship, this could be an extracurricular activity, either on or off campus.
Since you do not plan on applying until the fall/winter, you have some time to build a strong track record of involvement. Take a look at our
early planning services to learn how we can help you prepare to successfully navigate the application process.
Do not hesitate to send a note to
scott@personalmbacoach.com to discuss your strategy in more detail.
Regards,
