Hi guys, I’m planning to apply for masters this year (2024 intake), target programs are LBS MFA, MIT Msc Finance, Oxford MFE, LSE Msc Finance and Imperial Msc Finance. Specifically interested if it worth to apply to MIT and Oxford, given my profile

Nationality - Azerbaijan
22 years old

Undergrad - Bachelor of Finance from top university in my country, graduated in 2023. GPA 97/100

Haven’t taken GMAT yet but expect 700-720+

Worked in Audit in EY during last year of my bachelor’s. After graduation got into Deal Advisory Valuation in KPMG (which is top destination in finance career as there are no invest.banks in my country) and now working here.

From extracullars - have volunteered in international soccer tournament, have been selected and participated in program organized by one of the largest local companies (included case competition etc.). Now taking part in the CFA Research Challenge.

Also have ACCA FA and FR, CFA Level 1 ( above 90th percentile), IELTS 8.

Murad1122, some thoughts on your profile:

1. Academic arc is good, given your GPA and CFA/ ACCA/ IELTS. Your indicative GMAT range would work for most schools on the list, and it'd be important to have a balanced (Q/V) score as well. As MIT and LBS are the more competitive ones, a higher score (ideally 10-20 points above their class average) can help strengthen the case

2. What are your post-Masters goals? Your association with the big-4 brands, and in finance/ deal advisory can bring transferable skills. Identifying these, and having a strong rationale for 'why Masters' (i.e. what gaps would it fill) and 'why our Program' (i.e. school specific resources) would be important.

3. ECs sound interesting, with sports and business angles. The goal is to present a balanced profile i.e. who you are beyond the CV, what skills did you pick up from these activities, and how these help your journey. Different schools value certain themes, so adapting it to the program you are applying to can help differentiate.

Hope this helps some. Feel free to reach out with your profile for a deeper chat.

Regards,
Arvind

Hi Guys,
I am planning to apply for MiM this year (2024 Intake). My target schools are Chicago Booth, Kellogg, and Emory Goizueta.

Background and nationality
I am from Pakistan and a first generation University Graduate.

Undergrad Information
Graduated from one of the top Engineering Universities in Pakistan with a CGPA of 3.61/4. Selected in Principle's Honours List 2023. Received a Gold Medal for outstanding performance from the Government of Punjab, Pakistan in 2019.

GMAT/GRE:
Haven't taken any tests so far. My question is mostly regarding this part of my application.

Work experience and leadership:
1.5 Years Full Time Professional Work Experience (I started working full time during my Senior Year due to some personal reasons.). Now, working as a Product Lead at one of the top AI Companies focusing on NLP (Smodin.io) with over 6 million monthly users.
From July. 2023 ‑ Oct .2023, I also worked part-time as a business advisor helping a family business digitise its processes and thus land one of its biggest clients so far. Other experiences include managing and leading AI projects (but those are all contracts/internships).

Community and others
Wrote educational content for DataDrivenInvestor, and AnalyticsVidhaya on Medium. Also wrote articles on ML and Python for StackAbuse Technology Blog with over 500K Readers.
Mentoring Group - Helped a lot of young students and fellows kick-start their Professional Journey and how to earn online, as a way of growing skills and supporting themselves.

Post Master goals:
Go into Management Consultancy. Want to learn about new industries, and how technology can impact certain business. Very passionate about learning Strategy.

I would like opinion on my chances to my selected Schools. Also, I had a question regarding the GMAT. These schools have a GMAT waiver option if your CGPA is above a threshold, and my CGPA just crosses that threshold. I feel like my GPA could be considered average and if I don't submit GMAT, it can impact my profile. But if I do, what score should I aim for?

Hi

You have a well rounded profile overall and do have a shot at these programs, Booth and Kellogg are pretty competitive for MiM with average GPAs around 3.7 on 4.0 point scale so it helps to have Emory Goizueta as a safe school amongst the target list.

Aim for a 665+ score on the GMAT FE. This should put you in the upper quarter of students and will certainly improve your chances.

If you need professional help with your applications, do reach out to us!

Best,

Hello
I am looking into applying for MiMs in USA and Europe but am concerned that my profile is too weak, was hoping for your advice/opinions ;


This is my profile -
21-year old man from UK.
I'm graduating this year my Masters in Mechanical in one of the top 2 universities in the UK (Imperial College London). I am currently on a 2:2(3.0 US) but hoping to climb back up to a 2.1(3.3) by the end of this year.(This is my main concern - especially for Transcripts.)


GMAT score( not done yet) but confident can get 680+ - would be handy to know what I would need to aim for with my grades

I have 1 full time internship at Amazon as a Project Management Intern where I:

• Collaborated within the Amazon EU Central Reliability team to strategize, implement, and standardize engineering systems, reliability initiatives, and equipment enhancements across 7 pillars and 400+ Amazon Fulfilment/Sort Centres.

• Spearheaded the successful pilot of a preventative maintenance plan for Siemens Singulator, ensuring its comprehensive rollout across all EU sites with the sorter.

• Led the successful rollout of an Action Tracker, enhancing asset health tracking across 100+ sites, while collaborating with diverse teams to ensure its effective implementation .

I also have been Chair of Sports at my university for the last year and Vice Chair the year before that -

As the Chair and representative of all club sports, I provide strategic leadership, overseeing the day-to-day operations of 55 sports and ensuring their success. I lead a team of 7 in conducting annual budgeting and managed funding allocations of up to 430k. My commitment to student advocacy empowers me to hold full-time staff accountable and ensure that student voices are heard and represented effectively.

In addition, I actively contribute to the Union Council, Clubs, Societies & Projects Board, and the Physical Activity & Sport Board, playing a vital role in shaping policies and fostering collaboration.

Furthermore, I orchestrate and host 1000+ capacity events at both internal and external venues, creating memorable experiences and promoting a vibrant sports community.

I have other smaller experiences and positions( like committee positions, or jobs pre university working in administration) but not sure if they are even worth discussing


Extracurricular activities: I have been playing hockey at national level since I was 14 and I'm currently member of my university hockey team and also a local club team.

Any advice would be appreciated, I realise I don’t have a great profile so just want to see what my realistic options are and if it’s even worth applying.

Try to make that climb to a 2.1 as you have rightly pointed out. That will make your academics sharper. Other than that, try to score a 710+ on GMAT or 655+ on GMAT FE. This will put you in the upper quarter of applicants from your application pool.

You have sound ECs and specially a good national level athlete background can help you stand out.

Rest of it is just a matter of self reflection and presentation of your profile in a strong way.

Do reach out to us if you need professional help with your applications.

vchetty: The Imperial pedigree, Amazon internship and ECs provide good balanced angles to your profile.

With a good GPA (as per your plan) and GMAT, I would encourage you to apply. Aiming for 10-20 (GMAT) points higher than the average of the school would be ideal. You could check here for the GMAT averages, class profile and other key details of the top MiM programs globally.

It would also be important to have a strong narrative as to why MiM, what your post MiM goals are, and how the specific program will help you get there.

Hi guys, I’m planning to apply for master's this year (2024 intake), target programs are the top MIMs and CEMS, LBS MIM, LSE MIM, HEC MIM St Gallen MIM, Bocconi and Esade CEMS

Age 23 Polish
Undergrad - Bachelor of Finance from a top university in my country, graduated in 2023. GPA 4.72/5.0
I also went to Frankfurt School for a semester-long student exchange

Scoring: Gmat Focus mocks in the range of 615 - 655 so I expect a similar real score, but they are not balanced (quant score is quite bad (79), DI (81) and verbal(85) very high)

WE: Had 3 internships one each summer during my Bachelor's with the most recent I Interned in M&A in Big4 during last semester of my bachelor’s and got promoted to full-time position after 8 months (my team is the best in the country as we do the most transactions in the country, no BBs presence only a few smaller IBs)

Extracurriculars: I have been selected and participated in a selective and prestigious program organized by one of the MBBs (including case competition and networking with the firm in a different country) Also have been selected and participated in a training program by Polish PEs society which was selective and quite prestigious. But the most important extra I think is that I co-founded and I am a board member of the 1st investment club run by students that invest real funds in the market, we also organize some events for students ex. with M&A professionals, the club is not associated with my uni.

My goal is to go for a MiM to change to consulting, MBB somewhere abroad or in my country and get an MBA few years after that in the US

I still have to pass IELTS for LSE, but my bachelor's was fully in English so I don't think there will be any problem with that.

I wonder what are my realistic chances for each of these programs? To which I can get into? LBS is my dream, but I think also the most competitive.

Overall profile looks solid. Get a 655+ score with balanced splits and with the help of a strong application and narrative, you could potentially crack some of these top MiMs you have listed.

The undergrad/ GPA, big-4 experience and ECs are interesting. 

Given that you're not in the early rounds (for 2024 intake), the GMAT score would be an important factor. Most programs in your list have averages around 645-655 (equivalent): aiming for this score (or ideally 10-20 points higher) can help increase odds particularly for LBS, HEC etc.

If your Q score is non-stellar, aim to highlight your analytical skills in the application e.g. quant courses in undergrad, data/ Excel projects at internships, etc. This can help alleviate some concerns.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to have a deeper chat.

­Hello everybody, could you please evaluate my profile for the MiM Program (HEC, ESSEC, INSEAD, LBS and BOCCONI) and MiF program (ESSEC, St-Gallen, Dauphine)?

I am a 20-year-old man from France, but I have lived half of my life in the Netherlands, and still do atm.
I'm graduating this year from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University with a Bachelor in International Business Administration, I currently have a GPA of 3.25 (7.33/10)
GMAT Focus score of 635 (85th percentile)
For my career project, I would like to work in Asset Management. I do not care where.
I did not do an internship, however, I have been working as a strategic consultant for 7 months for a healthcare company in the context of a project for my bachelor.
I recently completed a semester exchange at the Singapore Management University for the 2023 Fall term where I followed 3 finance classes and 1 economics class.
I also attended the European Innovation Academy in the summer of 2023, which is an accelerated start-up incubator.
I am in multiple finance associations at my university, and thanks to those I have some experience in trading and financial markets analysis.
In terms of hobbies, I played football for 14 years, and I am at 1500 ELO in chess.
I have 3 referees for my applications: one is my finance professor from the Singapore Management University, the second is my supervisor of the healthcare company I previously worked for, and the third is a co-founder of the European Innovation Academy. I also would like help in deciding which referee is best for the B-schools previously mentioned.

Im really curious to know if I have a good chance to get in any of those programs, thank you for your time

­Hello everybody, could you please evaluate my profile for the MiM Program (HEC, ESSEC, INSEAD, LBS and BOCCONI) and MiF program (ESSEC, St-Gallen, Dauphine)?

I am a 20-year-old man from France, but I have lived half of my life in the Netherlands, and still do atm.
I'm graduating this year from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University with a Bachelor in International Business Administration, I currently have a GPA of 3.25 (7.33/10)
GMAT Focus score of 635 (85th percentile)
For my career project, I would like to work in Asset Management. I do not care where.
I did not do an internship, however, I have been working as a strategic consultant for 7 months for a healthcare company in the context of a project for my bachelor.
I recently completed a semester exchange at the Singapore Management University for the 2023 Fall term where I followed 3 finance classes and 1 economics class.
I also attended the European Innovation Academy in the summer of 2023, which is an accelerated start-up incubator.
I am in multiple finance associations at my university, and thanks to those I have some experience in trading and financial markets analysis.
In terms of hobbies, I played football for 14 years, and I am at 1500 ELO in chess.
I have 3 referees for my applications: one is my finance professor from the Singapore Management University, the second is my supervisor of the healthcare company I previously worked for, and the third is a co-founder of the European Innovation Academy.

Hi DaPepito,

I reviewed your profile and feel that with the right kind of story, self-awareness and maturity through your Essays and an overall well crafted narrative you do have a shot at being accepted in some(or all) of these programs.

In selecting your referees, do consider someone who can add diverse perspectives of your profile and provide relatable anecdotes from their past working relationship with you. Someone who knows you for too brief a period should be avoided.

I wish you the best! If you want professional help with your applications do feel free to reach out. We've helped many students get into top MiM and MiF like HEC Paris, INSEAD, LBS amongst many others.

Best,

Hi giamma03

Your academics shine through well with that 3.9 GPA. Also, your GMAT score of 655 is competitive for your demographic. Giving your overall academic profile a green flag.

Coming to your ECs your leadership experience in your student association as well as your demonstrated achievements in a sport give your ECs well balanced angles.

With that summer internship and winter internship it will become crucial to demonstrate a rationale towards your post-MIM goals as to why you chose to do those specific internships and what you learned from them.

Rest is ofcourse the written aspects of your application which will need to objectively demonstrate fit with the program, your specific post-MIM goals and how you aim to leverage the specific program to achieve your goals. Other aspects include demonstrating your leadership potential. For example, quoting specific anecdotes from your leadership experience in your student association would impress the admissions comittee.

In conclusion, I feel you have all the right ingredients to be able to gain admission to some of those programs with a strong and winning narrative.

If you need help with your applications do not hesitate to reach out to us. We've helped several clients gain admission to top MIM programs.

Best,

Hello Ricardo00

I hope you are doing well. While your profile shows potential for top European MiM programs like HEC, St Gallen, and others, it can be further strengthened to stand out in the competitive pool.

Your strong quantitative GMAT score (Q88) and leadership experience are impressive, and the planned Erasmus experience adds valuable international exposure. However, areas for improvement include your GPA, non-target university background, and the GMAT verbal score.

To boost your application, focus on maintaining a high GPA, securing internships related to your career goals, and potentially retaking the GMAT to improve your verbal score. Additionally, highlight your achievements in your student association and tailor your essays to each program, showcasing your specific fit and aspirations.

Remember, a strong application goes beyond just numbers. Showcase your unique experiences, aspirations, and suitability for the program through your application package.

@Ricardo00 - some thoughts on your profile:

1. Your GPA and Erasmus exchange are good angles. GMAT score is alright; though Verbal split is (relatively) lower considering these programs are very competitive. You could tackle this angle in the optional essay, or consider retaking the GMAT. Another option is to additionally submit an IELTS/ TOEFL score, which can speak to your verbal abilities.

2. Which intake/ round are you planning to apply in? Depending on the timelines, pursuing internship(s) ideally in sectors/ functions related to your post-MiM target path can strengthen the profile.

3. It'd be crucial to present a holistic profile i.e. academic/ professional and personal (ExtraCurricular) angles, highlighting your motivation for an MiM, and how the program (and target school) would help achieve your career goals. 

Hope this helps a bit.

Hi,

I plan to apply to MiM programs at HEC, LBS, and Insead in R1 of next cycle.

This is my profile:
21 y/o law student (penultimate year) from Eastern Europe (law school is top 70 in the world according to THE)

GPA: upper second class (8.2/10, scale from 6 to 10, will rise to about 8.5 by the time I apply; upwards trajectory regarding grades each year)

GMAT: 665 (quant: 52 percentile, verbal: 99 percentile, DI: 96 percentile)

Diverse work experience: couple of internships in law firms that are renowned in my country, analyst in an international VC (currently; remote), associate in business angel community, shadowed CEO of F500 company, a bit of HR work (family business)

ECs: success at international competitions (debate, moot court), founded a club to promote political participation (although this was in HS, nonetheless, we organized high level events with the president, members of the EU parliament...), member of club that connects law and business, volunteering (work with refugees, volunteer firefighter), two legal articles published

Post Master goal: VC in France/UK, entrepreneurship (long term)

Also, I speak 4 languages (English, French (B2), my native language, and another Eastern European language)

I don't have much international experience (other than traveling across Europe, and being a second generation immigrant)

Is my quant score good enough (I messed up a couple of initial easy questions due to anxiety, but really don't have time/energy to retake)­

­Please rate my profile 

Plammimg to apply for Sept 2025
25, male, live and work in Central Asia

2:1 in Finance and Banking from a mid-tier UK university (undergraduate)

Work experience:
1 year as an auditor at Deloitte
3 years as financial manager in a small local company
Currently (4 months) working in a large quasi state company as Deputy Chef at the local representative office (over 270 workers)

No GMAT and I do not think I will be able to score high enough due to lack of time

What are my chances of getting admitted to MiM at LBS, LSE, Warwick, Imperial?

Can my work experience make up for the lack of GMAT (or low score if I take one)?

Also, I am considering MiM and not MBA because my company will be paying and they dont pay for MBA.

­Hi bbbg5,

Thanks for sharing your profile and MiM aspirations. My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO.

You have a fascinating profile! From what I can see:
  • Academics – Studying law at a top 70 law school with a rising GPA demonstrates strong academic ability. A 99th percentile GMAT verbal score and publication of legal articles highlight excellent communication skills.
  • Work Experience – Your experience across law firms, VC, angel investing, and business shadows CEO experience showcases well-roundedness and business exposure. 
  • Extracurricular activities/Volunteer Work – Founding a political participation club and volunteering demonstrates leadership and initiative. Speaking four languages, including French (B2), is a definite plus for pursuing VC in France.
  • Query: Retaking the GMAT is a gamble. Since you don't have much time, consider the following:
    • Focus on your application essays: Craft compelling essays that showcase your business acumen and passion for VC (we can help you with that😊)
    • Highlight relevant coursework: Did you take any business-related courses in law school? Emphasize them in your application.
    • Research program requirements: Some MiM programs might have lower GMAT weightings than others. Research specific program requirements for HEC, LBS, and INSEAD.
Your profile is strong with a good mix of academic achievement, diverse work experience, and extracurricular activities. The quant score is a potential concern, but focusing on compelling essays and relevant coursework can mitigate it. If you send me your CV and other info on [email protected], I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.

All the best. :)

­Hi ali16,

Thanks for sharing your profile and MiM aspirations. My name is Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO.

You have a very interesting profile! From what I can see:
  • Academics – A 2:1 degree in Finance and Banking from a UK university demonstrates relevant academic preparation.
  • Work Experience – Experience with Deloitte is a strong point, showcasing exposure to a reputable global firm. The managerial role for 3 years and currently working in a large quasi-state company highlights leadership potential. Also, having your company sponsor your education reduces financial burden and shows their support for your career development (important for MiMs).
  • Extracurricular activities/Volunteer Work – Schools look for a well-rounded profile. Tell us about your hobbies and interests. Any volunteering work?
Areas for Improvement- Standardized Test: No GMAT can be a disadvantage for highly competitive programs like LBS and LSE.

Some points to consider:
  • Chances of Admission: It's difficult to give a definitive answer. Here's a breakdown by university
    1. LBS, LSE: Competitive programs that often require high GMATs. Your profile might be considered for interview, but the lack of GMAT could be a hurdle.
    2. Warwick, Imperial: These programs might be slightly more flexible on GMAT scores. Highlight your strong work experience and company sponsorship to compensate.
  • Research program requirements: Some MiM programs might have lower GMAT weightings than others. Also, while some MiM programs target recent graduates with little to no experience, others welcome applicants with a few years under their belt. Check the specific program requirements.
  • Your goals: Consider how your work experience aligns with the goals of the MiM program. You need to show how your experience will contribute to the classroom discussions and enrich the learning experience for yourself and your classmates.
  • Standing out: With more experience, you'll need to demonstrate in your application how a MiM will benefit you at this stage in your career. Highlight how the program can help you transition to a leadership role or switch careers- we would love to help you here!
  • GRE: Explore taking the GRE as an alternative standardized test. It might be a better fit if your quantitative skills are stronger than your verbal reasoning.

Your profile has strengths, especially your work experience and company sponsorship. However, the lack of a GMAT is a potential hurdle. If you send me your CV on [email protected], I would love to connect you with our CEO who will be happy to help further with a detailed review and perhaps work together on some amazing apps.

All the best. :)­
