lz, I have already recieved the con ad from the MSF program of LSE and interview invitation of Ox for its MFE. Therefore, i would like to ask that would you say anything over the comparision of these two, especially on the placement?

Thx!

do you want to do a phd or to work?

you should have figured out the strengths of the two schools from all the posting.

btw, good luck for your interview

问下楼主，我拿到了conditional offer，但要求overall mark 90%, 这个是平均分吗？要不要加权平均？不加权的话，我现在88分，最后一学期课少怎么也达不到90啊。。。达不到就不能录取吗，有没有可能argue一下的。。。

还有，second choice program 也约我面试，有没有可能同时被两个program都录取？因为第一志愿的90分要求太苛刻，有个backup比较好。。。如果不可能拿两个admission，我也不费那个劲去面试了。。

surely you can do that

but usually they will consider your first choice

and i think you have a high chance to make a successful appeal

英国的accounting & finance其实就是偏accounting但又不全是accounting的项目

我本科念的就是这个专业 还比较focus on accounting 有两到三门accounting的专业课程 然后还有一些辅助的也是business 或者finance方面的其他课程

想请问你知道有人成功defer过conditional offer的吗? 如有的话，一般什么类型的理由比较strong呢?

如果我今年拒了他们的offer，2-3年以后如果再申请，会被black list吗? 谢谢啊～～

I major in Finance my GPA is good but my uni is not a very decent one in China. I got very plain score in TOEFL and GMAT. But i am now in Manchester as a exchange student. Would it be possible for me to apply LSE's MSF?

这个帖子依然active嘛??

楼主是不是因为最近考试, 咋都不出现了?

小女收到一个MSc in Finance and Economics ( research) 但其实, 个人根本不学术, 并且想毕业之后找工作为首,博士肯定不去.... 看了前面的留言, 感觉research非常academic, 担心会不会没有时间来找工作了

我的工作背景为0, 听前面说感觉一般都是有internship才会找到fulltime, 不知道我这种情况去了是不是就是给人垫背的了~~ 主要是想找个工作做1,2年,然后在回国, 因为在外面已经学了不少年了...归国心切, 但又不想做海带><

我还在犹豫要不要去NYU 的 MA ECON, 虽说项目质量没有lse好, 但是项目2年工作好找一点(我猜的..), 地理位置比较好~~ 比较纠结, 想参考一下楼主高见.

请问lz，interview 时应注意什么问题？

被interview后拿到offer的几率如何？

Dear LZ:

I am a senior student in a top ten university in China, majoring in Finance with overall scores 85% but poor in math (not an impressive GPA at all)... only one relevant intern as a financial planner in a Fortune 300 insurance company. I will be an exchange student to ESCP-EAP in Paris, whose MBA ranks around 7th in Europe.

1) I'd love to go to LSE! How's my chances in getting in?

2) I'm applying for LSE Summer School. Does that help in applying to MF programme this fall?

3) If I had intern offers from IBM or PwC this summer, how should I choose among LSE Summer School, IBM and PwC?

4) Besides great PS and high GMAT, is there anything I can do to make myself a stronger candidate? 

Thanks a lot!

Good luck with your job hunting!
