Hey guys,
This is my first post here. Currently i am a little concerned about my future after failing my first "serious" attempt on the GMAT by a landslide. I attempted the GMAT already two times before that whilst working, but my working hours were a little too tough. I am currently 22 years and would like to start a Masters Degree in fall 2020. I would love to pursue a career in corporate finance.
Education: Bsc Vienna University of Economics and Business
- Focus on International Finance, Taxes and Accounting
- Exchange semester at BI Oslo
- Finished 87th percentile overall and 97th in rate of progression in my cohort
- Absolutely terrible GPA, 2.39/5, where 1 is the best and 5 the worst
Work:
- Internship 2 Months in Private Banking
- Internship 1 1/2 years Big Four in Audit, Tax and Valuation (Started during my 6th Semester)
I Finished my Degree in August last year, so exactly a year ago and finished my Internship in April this year. Since then, i have put 3 months into the GMAT and sadly didn't perform as well as i expected (or the Prep tests indicated). For my second "gap" year i am currently planning to do 6 months in corporate finance with a video game publisher in Asia and a shorter Internship with a Market Research Institute in Germany, so i hopefully won't be doing nothing the coming year.
My issues:
- Bad GPA
- Already three attempts on the GMAT
Now my question to all of you is: What should (or rather could) I shoot for with my profile?
Best regards!
Also you must check your GMAT and GPA against the GMAT and GPA range of the respective school
