Msc Finance/Msc Accounting

Question

What are the top colleges that I'd be eligible to apply in UK for Msc Finance/ Msc Accounting? I am an Indian student with a Bachelors Degree in commerce.
CGPA: 7.2
I am also pursuing CMA (previously known as ICWA) - not sure whether to include this in my CV or not as I haven't finished it yet. I am currently working remotely in a US firm as an accountant and plan to take GMAT and IELTS at the end of this year and start applying in Jan 2020.

Oxford- said school of business 
Cambridge- judge school of business 
LBS and LSE remains the top choices for finance. If CMA is valid across the globe, you definitely must include it. a GMAT score of 700 plus should suffice

Hi Swarna6387 , the most prominent schools for MSc Finance in UK are Oxford London Business School London School of Economics Imperial College London Cass Business School University College London University of Warwick For MSc. Accounting and Finance -LSE,Imperial,Cass, Warwick are the strongest brands, Cambridge has an MSc in Accounting which is pretty good. You can go ahead and highlight CMA, will help in jusfiying your interest towards the program. UK schools are pretty particular about GPA, so while 7.2 is not a deal-breaker, it is slightly on the lower end and will have to justified and compensated for- This can be done through the application and not Just the GMAT. For UK Schools, except LBS and LSE, most others do not have a mandatory GMAT requirement, so you will need to use your application to play your strengths. January 2020 deadline is roughly a 1.5 months away - I would suggest you to take a free profile evaluation so that I can divide your target programs into dream, competitive and safe and help you out with some free application resources.

Congrats on your masters application journey and curious to see how corona virus may have affected your plans. As an Indian student, it is possible that you may not be able to attend a school in the U.K. in the fall due to corona concerns. The top MSc Finance programs in the U.K. are usually considered to be at Oxbridge, LBS, London School of Economics, Imperial College. You might find this list on GMAT Club helpful (https://gmatclub.com/forum/master-progr ... 23194.html), as well as others from the economist and financial times that you can find with a google search. It's hard to say where you'd be eligible without stats like 1) undergraduate institution & its associated ranking in India 2) GMAT/GRE score (I'd take both and see which one you favor -- most schools accept both) 3) extracurriculars / civic engagement & leadership within these activties 4) career ambitions stated in applications. I probably don't need to tell you that you come from a very competitive demo as an Indian accountant working remotely for a western firm. You'll good stories to set you apart and excellently executed strategic positioning. Regarding your question about the CMA, I would certainly add it to your resume (make sure it's not more than 1 page). The CMA is impressive but a CPA or CFA would probably resonate more with the adcoms, even if you just pass 1 or 2 tests before you submit your app. If a free consultation might be helpful to you, especially in light of corona virus and the competitive schools you may be targeting, feel free to sign up for a free consultation here: https://admissionado.com/free-consultat ... sultation/
