Chances at LBS/LSE/IC? Or the others?

Hey guys,

I am international student and currently graduating from one of the top 4 BBAs in France, i need your advice on applications in London master programs with my backgrounds below:

  • GPA 14.2 (translation in UK system should be 2:1)
  • Internships: started with one boutique PE aboard, M&A advisory at a small/mid cap player in DACH (US firm), quite long time of coverage and their M&A team at one of the European major bank and finally a REPE (AUM >USD 50bn) with role of acquisition and AM
  • GMAT 720
  • Did exchanged in Germany
  • Finance and business club leader role
  • Experience of entrepreneurship (co-founder role)
  • One non-finance internship at a fortune 500 and research intern at a stock exchange

I am wondering what my chances are at the major finance programs in London, if you have other suggestions in Europe? And i am not really considering local unis such as Bocconi, FS (you have to consider local languages for recruiting). I am also considering ESSEC & ESCP but more likely to be a backup plan if London was not successful.

Let me know what you think about my chances in Ldn / other suggestions!

Cheers,

 

Your GMAT will help you a lot. Well aim for LBS at first, by far the best. Then, aim for LSE. If not try HEC MSc in international finance (easier to get in than the master in management - grande école).
