by grecatprep » Sun Sep 26, 2010 9:35 pm
Hi All,

Can you evaluate my profile for LSE's MSc finance course?

Undergrad GPA-3.8/4 Top 5 university from india
Maths courses GPA- 4/4
2 Economics courses(Electives)- Both A's
Maths olympiad rank holder
GMAT-yet to give
Experience-15 months in IT

Will the work experience be a hindrance or the academic brilliance sail me through?

Thanks

Dear grecatprep,

With an incomplete profile, it is hard to comment on your chances for the program. Your GPA is certainly strong and an asset to your profile, but it is not weighted more or valued more than other aspects of your application. While your work experience is from a common industry, it is not necessarily a hindrance if you showcase the skills and accomplishments that might set you apart from other IT professionals.

Good luck,
Lisa
