Picks for Master in Finance to Asset Management
Hi fellas. I just got my GMAT score and I'm really excited about it. I got 740 (Q50V41), 97th percentile I think. Given that I'd be an international student, I was pretty hopeless about having a shot at any B-school, but I think this changes it. I'm also expecting to pass CFA level 1 and currently waiting for my internship in ER to start (next Nov). I'm passionate about following markets, fundamental analysis, performance attributions... etc. And AM is where I want to be short and long term.
Will it be possible to get from Master in Finance to Asset Management in Europe (London, preferably)? I speak French fluently, but obviously London is naturally the target.
Again, being an international student inherently limits my options, due to factors such as costs & visa. I thought about picking Bocconi and ESSEC as my first options. However, I browsed through older threads where two points were clear: 1) London likes London, and it's extremely difficult to find any AM roles in London; and 2) Firms focus on hiring locals from the schools' countries. What do you guys think? What would you suggest?
I'll post this in the AM forum as well
LBS MFA (I'm an ESSEC fellow BTW)
Unfortunately cost is a huge deterrent. The initial deposits are extremely hard to fund in a timely manner (it's complicated, but it's almost impossible to make payments on time).
For Bocconi, many users have - in old threads - alluded to Bocconi's 1st-yr tuition waiver for high GMAT scores. 2nd-yr can be financed using internship(s) money. ESSEC said they could deduct deposits using scholarships. That's why I'm considering them as I'm really in a difficult place.
I'm a Canadian with a 760, 740 seems like a solid shot at Bocconi scholarship - though I didn't take my offer. I feel the exact same way with LSE/LBS.
