Hi there,
I have just started with my applications for Master in Finance and since I haven't done my GMAT yet I started with schools for which GMAT is not necessary.
So far I applied for MSc Investment Management at Cass Business School and MSc Finance and Investments at Erasmus University and got already 5 days later an offer from both schools. I also applied for Warwick but haven't got an answer yet.
As my long-term goal is to work in the U.S., preferably in Trading or Asset Management at a top-tier IB, I also considered Zicklin School in New York, as they have a very good cooperation with JP Morgan and lots of students end up in major investment banks. My problem is that I have to decide until the end of January whether I accept my offer from cass and Zicklin doesn't open its applications before February. I think the chances to get into Zicklin are quite good but I am afraid to decline the Cass offer and maybe receive no offer for Zicklin in the end.
Also, if I should get an offer from Warwick I think I will definitely accept it as I think it is the best on the list.
I would say:
Warwick > Zicklin > Cass > Rotterdam
My profile:
I am third year Bachelor student at a University of a Applied Sciences in Germany with majors in Banking and Finance. My GPA is around 3.6, however I was very good in all my major (finance) courses, so that my overall GPA there is 3.94. I have also done already four internships (in Germany and London) in M&A, Asset Management and Performance Analysis and spend two semester studying in paris. I am also currently studying towards my CFA Level one for which I got awarded a scholarship from the CFAI.
For GMAT I am studying for about 1.5 months, I am quite good in quant (around 49) but my Verbal scores are quite different so that in practice exams I got very different scores, reading from 590 - 710.
Thanks a lot for your advice!!![]()
