Profile evaluation request MSc in Finance ,Russian, GMAT 720
Hello!
I would like to request a brief review of my profile, if it is possible, and would be sincerely grateful if any evaluation could be provided. Thank you in advance!
Goal:I am aiming at top MSc in Finance/ Financial analysis programmes in European b-schools/universities such as LBS, Imperial, Bocconi, ESADE, IE and others. I am a low-budget student, so my dream is to get a scholarship too.
General info:
Male
Russian
20 y/o
Degree: Undergraduate of the top 1 russian university (top 80 in world ratings), Economics major. I have the GPA of 4.2/5 and have satisfactory grades (I mean 3/5 grades => i am below the second upper honour class)for 4 out of 30+ courses total,however, I have an upper trend of my grades. My GPA is my weakest point, and i do not even pass the requirements for the majority of b-Schools (as I have satisfactory marks present), that is why I am not sure if my profile is good enough.
GMAT Online: 720 (Q51;V35)
IELTS:7.5
*I also have a B1 level of French*
Working experience: I was a Finance intern for a producing company for half a year, and for now I've been a Financial Risk Management Intern in Big-4 for half a year (hoping to become an associate).
References: I have a reference from a professor (publ >30, cited >200) and another one from the Big-4 , where I am employed as I said earlier.
Academic achievements: I have made several researches in Macro policy using econometrics (my strongest and loveliest course) as a part of the course program. One point that may explain my low GPA is that I am a student of a "higher academic load class", which means higher overall performance requirements to get good grades at my faculty. I am also the leader of a Case club in my university, which prepares students for Big-3 and Big-4 employment (conducting workshops and lectures for students).
Voluntary activities: I've been a volunteer for a year for a charitable organization, which collects funds for children.
I think that is all for now,
I would be grateful to hear some feedback on my profile and the evaluation of chances to be invited to top b-schools. Thank you !!!!!
