Hi guys,
I already applied for MIT MFin class of 2020 and just wanted to do a profile evaluation.
Nationality: Thai
Age: 22
Undergrad: Purdue University (Finance with econ minor, GPA 4.0) Graduating this May 2020 and wanted to pursue an MFin right after.
GMAT: 740 (Q49 V42)
Internships: 2 finance internships (Financial Markets, Economic Strategist)
Volunteer: Taught English to Children in orphanage in Thailand, manufactured tools for hand-paralyzed patients in Thailand
Others: Passion for the financial markets (equities, derivatives, forex), Investment Strategist at my school's investment club, committee member at Purdue's Thai Student Association.
Languages: English, Thai
Goals: To come back to Thailand and become an IB analyst or Investment analyst
I know my weakness is that I don't have much full-time experience so just wanted to know what strengths I could leverage so that I can maximise my chances of admission.
Thanks guys!

Strong profile. Perfect GPA from a respected and know US school. GMAT is strong and balanced. You dont have great internships from a finance perspective, but I think your volunteer work will make you stand out more.
Definitely apply. Good Luck!

Hey warotph,
So your profile is pretty good as such - Your GMAT, GPA and UG rank is pretty strong.
Your social volunteering bit is pretty interesting - Especially the part about manufacturing tools for hand-paralyzed patients in Thailand. This can be one differentiating factor, so I hope you have highlighted it properly in the application.
As far as your work experience is concerned, while having full-time work experience would have been leveraging, you do seem to have gathered relevant experience through your internships and extra-curricular.
Which companies did you intern at? Having a brand name on your resume would matter a lot as you would having quantifiable achievements through these experiences.
While your profile is good, you must know that MIT is a super-competitive school with paper-thin acceptance rates.
So it actually comes down to how you have showcased your application - Have you highlighted what makes you different? Or why, despite not having full-time work ex, you know that Finance is your long term career goal?
Justifying why MIT is a good fit for you and what you bring to the table is what will determine your chances.
As I had mentioned, MIT has paper-thin acceptance rates, so I would suggest targeting more schools in Dream, Competitive and safe range.
Dream: USC Marshall, NYU Stern, LBS, Oxford.
Competitive: Duke University, Texas Mc Combs, Rochester.
Safe: IESE, SKEMA,
Lastly, If you require any further counseling, feel free to set up a free doubt clearing session with me right here https://www.mim-essay.com/book-an-appointment-form/?gcf
Hope this helped!
