Hi fellas,
Please help me with a brief evaluation of my profile.
Academics:
University of California, Riverside majored in Business Economics. Graduated with a GPA of 3.48/4.00 (took numerous accounting and finance courses along with three econometrics courses). No quant background (preparing to self-learn Python);
CFA Level 1 and sitting for Level 2;
GMAT Focus: 695.
Internship:
BPO at Roedl & Partner (Germany law/consulting/accounting firm);
Investment department at Ocean-Sino Capital (based in China, investment banking with a mix of real estate);
Business development at Swire Properties;
Valuation at JLL.
Extracurriculars:
Absolutely no extracurriculars. Only thing that can be mentioned is winning a second place in a nationwide piano competition back in highschool, which is quite irrelevant in the case of applying for MFin.
Target Schools:
Emory, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, Washington University in St. Louis, Boston College/University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper), University of Texas Austin (McCombs), NYU.
If I don't stand a solid chance targeting the above universities, any recommendations of universities that suit my level will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Pookssy,
Your GPA may be a problem: For example, for Emory MFin, the requirement for Non-Emory students is minimum 3.3 CGPA (STEM majors), or min 3.6 (Non-STEM majors with quantitative classes)
Ross doesn't have an MFin course...
I think you need to do some more homework before you start planning to apply
Hope it helps

Hi Pookssy,
Based on your profile, you have a solid foundation for pursuing an MFin program. You can play on the following strengths in your application for Mfin.
Solid Academic Foundation: Your GPA, focus on business economics, and coursework in accounting, finance, and econometrics demonstrate a strong academic base for an MFin program.
Diverse Internship Experience: Your internships at Roedl & Partner, Ocean-Sino Capital, Swire Properties, and JLL provide a variety of experiences in different sectors, showcasing your practical skills and exposure to various aspects of finance.
CFA Level 1 Completion: Completing CFA Level 1 demonstrates your commitment to professional development and knowledge of financial concepts.
While you're planning to self-learn Python, a strong quantitative background can be beneficial for many MFin programs. Consider taking online courses or tutorials to strengthen your skills in this area. Your target schools are competitive and may have specific requirements or preferences. Research each school's program focus, curriculum, and admissions statistics to ensure your profile aligns with their expectations.
However, to increase your competitiveness, tailor your application materials to showcase the specific skills and experiences you gained from your internships.
If you're concerned about your competitiveness for your top-choice schools, we would recommend discussing your profile further with one of our MFin experts. They can provide personalized guidance on your application strategy, target schools, and how to leverage your strengths to maximize your chances of admission.
