Hey everyone, I am looking into Master in Management and Master in Finance programs at HEC,St Gallen, INSEAD, Bocconi, IE and IESE and would love your feedback on my chances, below is a short summary of my resume.
I am a law and commerce Finance major student from the University of Sydney. My GRE score was 329, 168 in Quant and 161 in Verbal.
I graduated as a Dalyell scholar with an academic scholarship and an average of 72.1%.
I also achieved the highest possible mark in Australia on my territary admission rank of 99.95 which means I was in the top 0.05 percent of students.
I have been playing chess professionally since the age of 12 and have started coaching since the beginning of Uni and have over a couple years of experience as a chess coach.
I have been a volunteer at multiple charities as well.
I also took an internship at a government-ran Legal clinic for a month.
I have done an industry impact project where my group was selected to present our findings to the lead partner in IBM.
I have done an online business impact ( internship like) consulting experience. It had to be held online due to the pandemic.
I have multiple group leadership and mentoring roles throughout university as I was selected as a Dalyell Mentor.
I am worried as I don't have any real finance related experience nor am I sure how my university mark of 72% translates. My mark is much lower than it would be if not for the difficult law degree units that are also being used to calculate my overal average and the University of Sydney is known for having harsh law markings so I am wondering if that's something I could mention to get around my lower than expected marks. In addition of course there is the extra challenges of doing a dual degree in Commerce and Law.
Thanks everyone!
