Hi,
Would be glad to here your opinions, suggestions, comments... on my profile! Thank you in advance
Here we go:
I'm 29 y.o., from Russia, but have lived almost 20 years in Bulgaria
I want to study MSc in Finance (with the idea of getting a job in London). My top-choice program is Instituto de Empresa - Master in Advanced Finance; second choice - Erasmus University of Rotterdam - Master in Finance and Inverstments.
I have both Bachelor's and Master's degree in International Economic Relations from a bulgarian university with an average GPA (around 4,8 out of 6,0 - Bachelor's and 4,6 / 6,0 - Master's). While my GPA form school is perfect - 5,0 out of 5,0
IELTS score - 8.0
GMAT - 700 (Q49, V35, AWA4.0) (most probably will retake in January)
I have 4 year experience, but not related to finance. I was hired by a small manufacturing company as a Financial controller, but was promoted to a Supplies manager, as the crisis hit the company and the previous Supplies manager was fired and the management was happy with my work. So I was running a 5 people department (which was reduced to 3, as I had to choose whom to make redundant as a result of the crisis). At the beginning of the year I had to quit job, as a member of family got seriously ill and needed constant care. Couple of month ago I started a new job as accountant (I chose this job as it's not very demanding and I had time to prepare for GMAT and now to prepare my application, plus I needed some rest)
Additionally, if anyone has applied to IE, I'll be really happy to know what they expect from the requested 3 essays, as there are quite specific.
Plus, what do you think - should I include in the essay (especially to University of Rotterdam as there is no specific topic), the fact that a family member has been ill for 2 years and I had even to quit job for almost a year because of that, and that is the reason, why I'm applying now when I'm 29 and not earlier?
Thanks!
