Hi Aftab
mifta01715,
I hope you are doing good. Your profile looks quite impressive, and you have a strong foundation that can make you a competitive candidate for the MFE program at Said Business School, University of Oxford.
Speaking about your academics, your GMAT score of 750 is excellent. It's well above the average score for most MFE programs, which typically falls in the range of 700-730. Your undergraduate degree in Finance and Accounting from BRAC University is a strong background for an MFE program. The fact that you've taken courses related to calculus, stochastic processes, econometrics, programming languages, and statistics is a significant advantage, as these are highly relevant to quantitative finance.
Your involvement in international and national business case competitions is impressive. It shows your problem-solving and analytical skills, which are essential for a finance program. Additionally, your role as an Assistant Director at the Finance and Accounting Club demonstrates leadership and organizational skills.
While your work experience is relatively short, it's relevant to the field of finance. Your part-time work as an investment analyst and your internship as an equity research analyst are valuable experiences that demonstrate your practical knowledge of the finance industry. If possible, you can try to gain more substantial work experience before applying to make your profile even stronger.
To further strengthen your application:
Letters of Recommendation: Secure strong letters of recommendation, ideally from professors or supervisors who can vouch for your academic and professional capabilities.
Statement of Purpose: Write a compelling statement of purpose that explains why you're interested in the MFE program at Said Business School and how it aligns with your career goals.
I'm confident that you will be a competitive applicant for the MFE program at Said. I wish you the best of luck with your application!
