Hi all,
I am Harsh Agrawal & am an Indian. Am absolutely new to this forum and have found this to be a great place.
As the topic suggests, I am looking for some info on One Year Program in Finance. The only college that I have been able to find, matching my criteria is London Business School's MiF. BTW, am looking to apply for 2012 sesion.
About my Profile:
I am a 22 yr old commerce graduate from an unknown place & college.(Score - 63.17%/100 ~2.74/4.33)
Have done my MBA(Finance) from a top 10 B-school in India in the year 2009(GPA - 5.69/10 ~2.46/4.33 ). Since March, I have been working with a government owned bank in the risk management specifically looking at Asset Liability Management & Market Risk. By the time I apply for the course I wud have 40 months work ex (min req is 24 mths).
I have not taken GMAT yet, but am pretty sure that I would get >700.
To compensate for my lack of experience, I have applied for FRM (GARP) and with all your wishes, hope to clear it. Also, aspire to do some levels of CFA, before application, if I am done with FRM.
The major issue with my profile is that I do not have a quant background, so almost all nice schools in US are out of my league as they are very quantitative in nature (like tepper, haas, UCLA). Have looked at Said, Judge, LBS and MIT Sloan finance masters course, but am sure that I am missing a few.
So, I solicit your advice. It would be very kind of you all to share your knowledge here. I am absolutely novice at studying abroad thing. Hope to see some replies soon.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Harsh,
When you say you are interested in 'One Year Programs in Finance', I'm assuming you are referring to programs like Masters in Finance, MFE etc and ruling out the possibility of a second (finance focused) MBA. For the last option, you'd need much more experience.
Most discussions on these threads focus on the MBA program, and not much on the other courses offered by B-schools. But here's my 2 cents.
>> To compensate for my lack of experience, I have applied for FRM
An FRM certification is good to have on your resume. But I don't think too many institutions would be willing to consider additional qualifications as an alternative to real-world experience.
>> The major issue with my profile is that I do not have a quant background, so almost all nice schools in US are out of my league
If you are aiming for finance focused programs, there's little you can do to escape the quant stuf. Your first MBA would've already covered the key quantitative concepts required. So if you've done well there, you shouldn't be too concerned.
All the programs you've listed have very good finance programs. With a strong application (including the GMAT range you've mentioned), you should be ok. Just cross-verify the experience related assumptions.
Good luck.

Hi sameer,
Thanks a ton for your reply mate.
By quants, I meant high funda calculus & stuff. In my MBA, I was taught some statistics. I hope whatever I have learnt is good enough.
Actually sameer, I wanted to know of more places where 1 year Finance Programme is being conducted (unlike MFE, Masters of Quants Finance) which is more finance and less quants.
To be crude, I would say that I need names of universities which conduct such programmes and are globally resepcted.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Regards,
Harsh Agrawal
