Plz evaluate my profile
I am a 27 yr old male with a non engineering background. I am keen to pursue a masters in finance program.
Target GMAT score – between 680-720
SDA Bocconi
Instituto de Empressa
Cass business school
Warwick
Rotterdam Business School
HEC
Cranfield
LSE
Now my primary concern is I have a low GPA ( approximately 3 at max) in my undergrads and a missed year ( I frankly admit I lost focus in my college days ) and a number of C and D s in my post grad. Considering my age and inconsistency in academic achievement is it feasible to get into the list of universities I have shortlisted. Please share your view how I can make my profile more competitive.
Education
B.Com from Calcutta University( 53% aggregate)
MS finance from Icfai School of financial studies (CGPA- 6.8)
Cleared CFA level 1
Have a few certifications relating to Indian stock markets- NCFM (Derivatives), NCFM (Capital markets)
I am planning to take CAIA and FRM exams and show it as an academic achievement and prove my quantitative skills.
