Hi, I was wondering how likely I am to be admitted into these programs.
I study Accounting and Finance at Reading Uni, with 74% average
I am confident I'll get 700+ GMAT and write a strong academic essay.
I have accounting work experience at a small firm in London and equity research experience at a small investment company. They are not well known companies and I was wondering if business schools emphasise on the name and credibility of your internship experiences.
I have also done many extra curricular activities and I am the treasurer of 2 societies at university. Also manage a personal portfolio and conduct a lot of fundamental research on companies.
Do I qualify as a strong candidate?
Thanks

Hi parsanikoy,
Well to address your query about the importance of brands on resume - Yes B-Schools do place an emphasis on Company brands and having a Tier 1 company on your resume will be a competitive advantage. However, the lack of it is not a deal breaker, provided that you have very strong quantifiable achievements and have held a position of responsibility during your work ex.
As far as your target schools go, well Oxford and LSE will have applicants with a far extensive work experience and CFA under their belt, so unless you have extra-ordinary achievements in our work ex. and extra-curriculars, they would be tough at this point.
LBS's MFA is a pre-experience degree ( so a lot of applicants with more experience will be diverted towards its MFin program) - With a strong GMAT and application, you may have a fair shot so you can bucket it under your dream school.
You can also target competitive schools like Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Duke, Babson - these are good brands and you have stronger chances here.
You can take up a quick profile evaluation to be matched to the best MFin programs as per your profile.

Do you plan to get into portfolio management? If yes, you can continue to build your profile in that direction.
