Hey, I am 24 and I was planning on applying for MSc Finance at SSE at the end of this year, but I am starting to feel discouraged.
My background:
I have a first class Ba(hons) Accounting and Finance degree from Nottingham Trent University (not a great university).
Around two years in a commercial accounting team (placement year and then directly after university) for a big privately owned holiday firm in the UK.
I have been travelling/backpacking since November 2013 and all the jobs I have been doing have been purely for money (banana farm hand, logistics/finance administrator and finally working in a print company....).
I am currently in Australia and I am planning on moving to Sweden permanently. Everyone I have spoken to has said that getting a job in Sweden would be very difficult! However, as the education is free for Europeans, I should study.
I haven't taken the GMAT yet and was planning on spending the next three-four months prepping for both the GMAT and my application (I'm obviously aiming for 700+).
Do I even have a shot of getting into SSE or am I being completely unrealistic?
