Schools
I have shortlisted the following colleges for MS in finance:
1) London Business School (MiF) - 10 months course
2) London School of Economics (Masters in Finance & Private Equity) - 10 months course
3) UCB-Haas - 12 months course Masters in Finance

I'd like to know -- Are these universities are ambitious for my score or are they reasonable? Should I consider any other schools ?

Many Thanks & Regards,
Istuti

Dear Istuti,

I think you are competitive for the three schools you note, but you might want to identify 1-2 schools that are not as selective as LBS, LSE and Haas also. It is always prudent to have a backup plan when it comes to graduate business education. You might end up at one of your top three, but there are no guarantees. Generally speaking, you will want to be sure to convey a solid rationale for why you want to the MS in Finance in addition to your MBA and how each school is a good match for you in your essays. The key will be distinguishing your application from the other Indian applicants with similar education and professional experience.

Good luck,
Lisa
