Hey fellas,
I have had tremendously disappointing week last week. I received 2 BIG NOs from London Business School (MiM) and from the LSE (Finance). So it kind of punched me right in my face and now I feel down a little bit. The main reason, I presume, is a bit lower GPA than these schools expect. I graduated only with 3.2. However I scored 690 on GMAT and have 1+ WE in international consulting firm. I am 23 now and I played football on a national level for couple of my teenage years. Besides that I do not really have any extracurriculars to talk about.
Now, as long as I still have a couple of months to apply to the Msc-s, I am considering the above mentioned schools. The main goal is to GET EMPLOYED IN UK or IN EU. I come from a developing country, where wages are ridiculously low and all I really care about after graduating is not having to come back home for a little while (otherwise my investment in masters degree will simply be waste of money).
Please tell me everything you know about these universities, which one would best employ my goals. (I consider Msc-s such as Finance, Banking, Management, International management, etc)
P.S. I will appreciate any other european B-School suggestions considering my aims.

Hi @RandomStudent-
Sorry to hear about the disappointing news -- this process is often filled with ups and downs. I suspect that the lower GPA could have been an issue too. I believe the average GMAT for LBS MiM is right around your score, so it's also possible they would have liked to see a significantly above average GMAT, to mitigate the lower GPA.
Unfortunately I only know a little about the universities you mentioned, as we specialise mostly in MBA programs. I would suggest you fully investigate the information released by each school in terms of employment stats -- which industries are represented, which companies hire, where alumni are located, and starting salaries. If you can't find this info easily online, then reach out to the school to find out more.
Best of luck!
