Which schools for MBA with finance direction [#permalink] New post   01 Feb 2014, 10:42
I'm interested in applying to b-schools to change my career and get into finance. I know that LBS, Oxford, Cambridge and HEC offer that.
I also know that Cass and Imperial offers such direction, as I'm sure other universities do to. However I did a bit of research concerning imperial and cass and found that there is a big gap between these two and the aforementioned, and wasn't satisfied with what I saw (alumni/students profiles and discussions in forums).

My question is, what is the middle solution between LBS, Oxford etc and Imperial Cass etc.

Where do you stand in terms of GMAT/ GPA etc?

You have listed 3 tiers:

LBS
Oxford/ Cambridge/ HEC
Imperial/ Cass (not 100% sure how equal these two are).

Without knowing much else, Warwick may be a happy medium for you.

I thought LBS is in the same tier with Oxford / Cambridge.
I haven't got a gmat score yet, I am aiming for 700 but I think about 650-700.

So it's just Warwick then?

It is a bit difficult as Oxbridge uses a 1 year system, but in general- it is considered a separate tier from LBS/ Insead.

In any case - you may want to analyze the FT rankings as a starting point and dive into the schools from there.

Not sure about Imperial, but I BELIEVE Cass has a good reputation and network within the finance industry in London. And as for the tiers, I agree with the above poster that LBS/INSEAD can be considered one about Oxbridge, which is then one above the likes of Warwick and Imperial.

For HEC, do check their placements. If their graduates mainly work in France, will language be a factor for you?
