I'm a third year student so I still have one year of undergrad left. I am planning on applying to a Masters in Finance during October-December 2021 for the class of 2022. I would ideally want to get admitted into Msc Finance or Msc Accounting and Finance at LSE.
Age: 20
Nationality: Spanish
GMAT: I have not taken it yet but scored 750 in my latest gmatprep mock (so hopping at least for 720+).
GPA: 3.7 from a top 10 UK University, Major in Accounting and Finance and did a 1- year Erasmus in Toulouse Business School where I studied Business Management and Finance.
Work Experience: No finance related work experience. I was going to do an internship in Angola this summer but due to COVID it might not be possible.
Im a CFA level 1 candidate, will be taking the exam in November, so maybe after applying.
Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish and Intermediate in French and Portuguese.
Other possible courses are Masters in Finance in HEC, ESSEC, IE, MFA LBS, MFE Said.

Hi jppresa. We work more on the MBA programs than Masters in Finance programs, but in general your profile sounds promising. My sense is that with these programs it is very helpful to have clarity on where you are going and what the role entails and how the MiF will prepare you. You seem to have a good foundation with your major and CFA prep -- what area appeals to you the most? I'd do some networking and research to bring clarity to your application and show you're ready to hit the ground running. Work experience is not usually necessary, but can be helpful in what is a competitive process, and perhaps leadership in student organizations if this is a possibility? Good luck with your GMAT, hope you do as well as you've been practicing--if so, it will only help you!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne Heafey
