Scandinavian Masters

Very interested in breaking into finance in Scandinavia and I'm currently prepping my applications to masters at SSE and CBS.

Would anyone who applied or who goes to these unis care to share their profiles (GMAT, GPA, experience, etc) to get a better idea of how competitive and the requirements to enter. I am specifically interested in CBS's MSc in International Business and SSE's MFin, MSc in International Business and MSc in Accounting in Valuation.

There's very limited information on undergrad requirements for these unis so very curious to understand applicants undergrad profiles, especially coming from UK universities. Thanks!!


Also my profile if anyone has any input on my chances:

  • UK target 2.1 (~65%)

  • GMAT: 720 (could re do and get higher)

  • Experience in Big 4 M&A and ESG start-up, exec leadership role in uni consulting group

CBS MSc in IB is not competitive, it is only their BSc that is very good. Why not do one of the MSc in Finance at CBS? CBS don't really care about grades, you have to make sure that you have studied the right modules. They want you to study a number of courses in Finance, Statistics, HR, Marketing, Strategy, etc. 

MSc in SSE is a good program, your background is more than good to get in. 

 

What would you say are the possibilities at getting into these masters with a 2.2 grade in second year BSc Economics at a Uk target with a 720 GMAT?
