  • GMAT: 710 (Q.45 V.41)
  • IELT: 7.5 overall
  • Three recommendations letters:

    • One from a Macroeconomic and International Finance Scholar, studided at Bocconi. Was my teacher.
    • One from the Investment VP of a big canadian private's firm pension fund (2 Billion AUM)
  • Three internships:
    • One as an Alternative Investments Analyst at the Pension Fund mentionned above.
    • One as an Econometrics & Investment Analyst in an Argentinian Start-Up
