Hello,

- Background and nationality: Indian Female, 24 years old

- Undergrad Information: BCom from University of Mumbai (CGPA : 6.65/7.00)

- GMAT: aiming for 700+ (will give in a month)

- Work experience: 3 years in Statutory audit. Currently working as an Equity Research Analyst in a startup.

- Community and others: Volunteered at National Association for the Blind, Rotaract club of Bombay and currently student mentor at The Lighthouse Project

- Extracurriculars: 3 years dance at Terrence Lewis Academy, Captain of school and college throwball teams, also represented my school in basketball and handball. Committee member of college festivals.

- post master goals: consulting or IB

- Anything else: I am looking to make a career transition from accounting and auditing. My main insecurity is the fact that I will already have 4 years work ex in total by the Sept 2023 intake. Also, I am not yet fully committed to either full finance or consulting as you can also tell from my post masters goals. Do you think the unis will weigh these two as major factors?
I am also an ACCA, UK student. Have completed 2 groups of the same.

Programs (Sept'23 intake):
- LSE Msc Management & Stratergy (1st choice)
- LSE Msc Finance
- Oxford MFE
- MIT MFin
- Cambridge MFin
- Imperial Msc Finance
- UCL Msc Finance


Any kind of profile evaluation would be really helpful.

You really must do well on the GMAT to give yourself a shot at some of these top programs. If you can pull off the 700+ that will really help.

I am less thrilled with your extracurricular activities. They are good, just not stellar. You should be fine since you have significant work experience which will count more (in your favor) than extracurricular activities.

It's fine if you're not committed to finance or consulting, but you really should pick a path for the admissions process itself. You can always change your mind once you start a program. The key is to demonstrate you have given serious thought to a pathway in this snapshot in time. The unis want to see if you can come up with a pragmatic and aspiration plan.

If my team and I can be of help to you in your application to these programs, please reach out for a free consultation using this link:
