Profile review & Advice: Which masters programmes can I get into after 1.5 years at Big 4 to break into MBB?
Hi all,
I’m currently considering which masters programmes(Course start date: Sept 2024)are best for me given my circumstances. I’m in a unique position where I feel as though I can still apply for pre-experience masters, and will have enough experience to apply for experienced masters.
Profile:
23 yo
Graduated from a top 10 UK BSc Accounting & Finance course in 2021 with a 1st with Honours.
Have been working in Audit at big4 since. Only been on 2 clients, both huge names in the UK. Have 2 promotions (associate to senior associate after six months, then another year to become an assistant manager (my current role).
I also have a half a year experience of working at a non-profit in my home country, writing political, economical and finance related articles, an internship at a well known hotel brand and really strong leadership experience at my university (won’t go into details to remain anonymous).
GMAT: got a 650 on a cold mock exam from the official mocks. Aiming for 730+ (Will take 2 weeks off work for this in August).
have already spoken with my Senior Manager and know that I will get a strong letter of recommendation from him. Confident I will get a good one from my uni prof too.
Question #1: Will I still be considered for the LSE, Oxford, HEC, ST Gallen, Bocconi and other top European business schools pre-experience masters in finance/management/FE programmes? Would I be considered a strong candidate?
For example LBS has a cut-off of 2 years after graduation, so I am no longer eligible for their MIM programme. However, the above B schools don’t publish any cutoffs of these sorts.
Question #2: Are experienced MFins (Judge, LBS, SDA Bocconi, etc) worth it?
Most of these are 2+ yrs of experience, meaning that I can l apply to these.
The eventual goal is to break into MBB btw.
