MSc Profile Evaluation - Oxford/LBS/LSE/HEC
Would be nice to get some insights on my profile for these programs since I could possibly get in a position of having to reject a potential full-time offer this summer (although I am very humble about even getting an offer) in order to study a master.
I am looking to apply for the following:
- Oxford MFE
-
LBS
MFA
- HEC MIF
-
LSE
MIF
A short summary of my profile:
- European white male
- Currently studying a BSc majoring Finance on a semi-target uni in Europe
- GPA: 3.6/4.0
- GMAT: 720
-
Internships:
1 EB in London (Laz/Rot/ PJT )
1 MBB in my home country

Coming from a professional sports background
I want to study a MSc in order to strengthen my resume for future PE MF recruiting, also my goal is to start of my career at GS /MS/ JP in LDN (preferably in one of the better groups).
How does my chances look at the different schools?

And also, does the it matters a lot when I apply, Rd 1/2/3?
With that profile, I think your chances of getting into those schools are about as good as a hedge fund 's chances of beating the market.
Infinite?
I have to ask, how did you manage to secure that many internships in undergrad?
A combination of luck, networking and also to having the opportunity (because uni her is pretty soft), to do internships parallel with school:)
For Oxford MFE your GMAT should be higher, but not impossible. For the rest of the schools, you have a decent profile. Make sure to ace the essays and interviews, and you will be fine.
Alright, you think like a ~740 could be enough for MFE with a little luck even with my low GPA?
740 is considered to be average on the MFE, so should be fine, but not a silver bullet
I think you should be a pretty clear admit for all the schools except Oxford. I also think you have a strong shot at Oxford given your work experience, although your GMAT and GPA are a bit on the lower side. You should definitely apply
Are we talking like 25% admission changes at LBS / LSE /HEC and maybe 3-5% at Oxford or is it some now possible to quantify? So hard to get a good picture of peoples profiles except for GMAT in most cases
Obviously, this would just be speculation but I'd say 75% for HEC, LSE , 100% for LBS (as long as you do decent on the interview) and 40-50% Oxford
Damn, okey this is making me happy! :) Do you have any insights on which uni is better for MF recruiting in the future?
