Hey all,

I'm going to apply for the following programmes this year: (In order)
- Masters in Financial Analysis (MFA) at LBS (my top choice! )
- Masters in Finance (MsF) or Masters in Finance and PE (MsF&PE) at LSE
- Masters in International Finance (MiF) at HEC Paris.
- Masters in Finance (MsF) at ESSEC
It would be great to receive some feedback about my admission chances. What other programs would you recommend with such a profile?

Profile:

- Overall: Russian, male, 22

- Academics: Bachelor in Economics from leading Russian University (#1 in Economics in Russia according to the QS), GPA 3.8/4, top 10% of the class, Advanced Research Group. Minor in Computer Science.

- Test results: IELTS band 7.0, GMAT 690 (49Q, 34V)

- Work experience: 6 months as an Market Analyst in Venture Capital Department of Russian largest bank (working with bio-tech and online education start-ups),
2 months in Project Finance and Infrastructure Investments in leading Russian IB, 2 months in Private banking. Also, worked as a lecturer's assistant for 6 months (Stochastic Processes)

- Extracurricular: Prizewinner of Russian Student Competition "I am Professional" in Economics (more than 7000 participants), Case-championship prizewinner (top 15%).
I have also participated in 2 scientific conferences and have 2 printed works in Russian Journals (about M&A and Financial Markets). During my fresh year, I was an active member of University IB-Club. Chess player (2nd Category). Advanced Python user (programming)

- International: Travel a lot, but unfortunately don't have any international exchange experience :(

Many thanks in advanced!

PS Sorry for mistakes, if any.

Hello AlexanderTash

You have picked good schools for your application list :thumbup:

I suppose the best one in Econ in Russia should be Lomonosov ?

I like your minor...and it is always good to come from best school in your home country. :cool:

Russian largest bank would be Sberbank ?

Your working experience is relevant...and I especially like 6 months of lecturing in Stochastic Processes. :geek: :cool:

Advanced Python knowledge is going to be important. :clap:

I agree with your LBS top choice and second best LSE.

Average GMAT score at LBS MFA is 716.

For me LSE has other more interesting (besides your choice) and more quantitative masters programs, that I advise you to maybe check in, still I suppose you already know/decided where your passion lies (PE). ;)


All in all you have very good chance of being accepted to all those programs.

You have overall strong profile, which is most important.



Good Luck :cool:
