Hi,

It would be great if you could give me some idea regarding my chances of getting accepted to the Masters in Financial Engg/Masters in Finance/Masters in Financial Economics programs.

My profile:

Undergrad major : Computer Science & Engg -69% [top 10% of the class] with 90% marks in math [highest in the class 1/360]. Univ. of Illinois UC states that 55% marks = 3.25 GPA

GMAT- 720 (Q49 V40)

IELTS - 7.5

Internship - an intership at ICICI bank

I do NOT have any work-ex other than that.

What are my chances of getting accepted to the above programs assuming my essays are great and LORs are good.

Dear rishab1988,

Based on the information in your post, you appear to have a competitive profile for these programs assuming you have good essays, recommendations and IELTS score at/above minimum. Your academic profile (GPA & GMAT) is strong which is an important indicator of competitiveness for a Master of Finance/Financial Eng/Fin Econ program. Much of the decision will come down to how well your application stacks up against the rest of the applicant pool, so use your essays and interview (if possible) to demonstrate a fit with the program and a solid rationale for the degree.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
