How Suitable is my Profile for these MFin Programs
I was hoping to get opinions on my chances at a masters in finance from the following:
MIT
LBS (Masters in Financial Analysis)
LSE
Imperial
HEC Paris
My profile:
- Economics major
- 3rd year student
- 3.2 GPA from the Lahore University of Management Sciences [top ranked in Pakistan], Pakistan.
- 740 GMAT
- Little relevant finance experience, hoping to improve on this in the summer.
- Strong leadership roles [Captain Varsity Team, Event Heads etc]
What chances do you think I have when I apply next year? Any suggestions on other schools I should be targeting?
Thank you.
it'd be nice if your school name is top few in the region. also finance-relevant experience can be a gap. they'd be asking why you want MSF without seeking any relevant work/classes
I have updated my profile, could you provide feedback on it now? I have studied related courses as well so im not completely in the dark about why i want to do a masters in finance.
oh sorry, i'm an economics major and i have taken finance related courses, and i plan to do so over the rest of my time here. also, my university is the top ranked in my country. sorry i forgot to add this in before.

You might not be able to apply to LSE - I think they have a 3.5 minimum GPA requirement. http://www.lse.ac.uk/study/informationForInternationalStudents/countryR…
can't that be offset by anything else? work experience, gmat score?
and what about the other programs
MIT and LSE are probably a long shot. Maybe one of the "easier" LSE MSc programs could be viable. LBS MFA, maybe, especially with that GMAT. I'd probably look at some other programs also. I don't think you have a good safety on your list.
could you please tell me what good safety schools i should be applying to?
