Hey everyone
Education:
Attended the University of Kansas in the U.S
Triple majored in Finance, Accounting and Economics
GPA: 3.5/4
GMAT: 690 (47Q, 38V)
Work Experience:
I spent 1 year working at Deloitte Consulting as a Business Analyst. Worked mostly strategy and M&A strategy cases
Several internship experiences ranging from marketing to FP&A at an investment bank
I am interested in breaking into IB and have already applied to several MSF programs in the U.S with good results. I was wondering what programs I would be competitive for in the UK. I know LBS MFA program has an avergare GMAT of 716. Is my 690 a total deal breaker? What program should I apply to for LSE? (I'm thinking maybe A&F given my lowish GMAT) What is recruiting like for the MSc Finance at Imperial?
Thanks a ton guys

690 is still a good score, you have a good academic background and previous work experience, which is not common in Europe.
The most favourable degrees in Europe for IB are LSE MSc Finance/Finance and Private Equity, HEC MSc Finance, Bocconi MSc Finance.
LBS MiM to a lesser extent, most of its student end up in consulting, but I believe it's a personal choice.
With 690 and a good application, you have good chances of admission at all the masters above

Hey lfontenoy,
Well, you have a pretty decent profile given your GPA score of 3.5/4.
Although, your GMAT score is towards the lower end, your work experience sounds fairly good. Yes, for admission in LBS MFA program, you need an average GMAT of 716, however your score of 690 would not be a total dealbreaker, provided that you highlight your professional achievements at Deloitte. It can act as a bedrock for a good application. Although Adcoms takes academics and GMAT score into major consideration, they look at the overall profile to make a decision. So, ensure that you highlight your internship experience with an investment bank and your business analyst role in Deloitte as a valuable asset to your application.
Considering MSc Finance at Imperial, it is consistently ranked among the World’s top global programmes. 91% of the graduates were employed within 3 months of completing the course. The top firms that recruit Imperial MSF graduates are Accenture, McKinsey, Deloitte, Barclays, HSBC, EY, Goldman Sachs and more.
Your profile is realizable for both LBS and Imperial Contingent on the fact that you are able to build a very strong application.
You can aim for LBS as a dream school, Imperial as a competitive one and for a safe school you can target Cass and UCL.
