Hi I am looking into trying to get into several top Msc Finance or quantitative business programs:
University of Singapore
University of Zurich
Copenhagen Business School
University of Melbourne
Currently I study Finance with a Computer Science minor at the international program at Mahidol University in Thailand
I am aiming to achieve between a 3.5-3.7 GPA
700+ GMAT
I also have exchange opportunities that might be available to go to NUS
If I am able to achieve all this plus a CFA by graduation. What are my chances to get into these schools or others? Many thanks

Hey there!
It looks like you are in the early phase of building your profile, so could you also mention the year
you are studying in? It would help me get a clearer idea of your profile.
As far as GMAT is concerned, I would say reaching your target score 700+ will definitely be a cherry
on the cake for your application. Same goes for your GPA in college - try to maintain a GPA of 3.5
and above.
I would suggest you to not miss any opportunity to gain international exposure as it is highly valued
by B-schools. It will only add value to your college application.
Well, completing CFA along with graduation is not possible because the criteria is that you need to
be a graduate or in your final year of graduation at the time of registration. So you may apply for CFA
during your final year or after graduation.
Coming to your target schools, Australia has a pretty saturated job market. So for any Australian
school, I'll suggest you to go for the 2 year masters program otherwise getting a work visa can be
difficult. In this context, the Masters in Finance degree offered at the University of Melbourne is
short of 2 years which makes doesn't make it the best option to opt for, and so I will suggest you to
look for other alternatives. Rest of the schools, I would say are realizable. However, some of the best
MFin programs are based out of the United States, so here is a list of schools for you to explore:
Duke
McCombs
Ohio Fisher
Babson
Vanderbilt
