I have a GMAT score of 610, could you please recommend universities for an MS finance where my low GMAT will not be a problem?
I have a bachelors with honours in economics from an extremely competitive school in India (I have a GPA approx. 3.4/4), I volunteered with the UNHRC, I have interned as a security analyst with a renowned Indian brokerage firm, I have worked as a business developer for hyperloop india (India's largest think tank), I have even published a paper (with an ISBN) on the new taxation laws in India.
Thankyou for your help!

If you don't have the location constraint can look into Singapore Schools(NUS,SMU), IE-Spain, HEC Paris, Rotterdam-Netherlands, some other European schools.

Hofstra University

Florida State University

Stony Brook University

University of Dayton

Good Luck with application ;)

Hi,

In India to get into IIMs with your score will be a difficult task. I suggest you take one more attempt since IIM deadlines will start after May mostly. So, you have 4 months to prepare for GMAT & 1 month for applications. Think about it.

Outside India go for Ireland, here cost of living is high, check Trinity, Smurfit B-schools.
Germany Mannheim B-School is good for Finance try it.
UK is expensive, if you can afford, for your information most B-schools don't ask for GMAT, only IELTS/TOEFL.
Canada is a good for immigrants nowadays, top B-schools are expensive.

Hey there, so a lot of aspects of your profile look good apart from a Sub-par GMAT. How many years of work ex do you have? If you have quality work ex with a renowned brand, it will work out in your favor.

I would suggest that instead of targeting only lesser ranked schools, it is a better strategy to break your target schools into dream, competitive and safe so that you have a better chance of getting into the best schools according to your profile.
You can think of ESSEC as your dream school, IE as competitive and Grenoble as safe.

Also, which intake are you targeting?

If you have time on hand, you can take up some activities to add value to your profile, which will help you compensate for the low GMAT as well.
Think of taking up a CFA certification, take up projects where you get a chance to hold a position of responsibility, etc.

Lastly, do think of re-taking the GMAT. Since you do have a decent profile with a 670+ score, you will be able to target much better schools then.

You will find a comprehensive list of MFin Schools here that you can refer: https://www.mim-essay.com/blog/masters-in-finance
