Got into MSc Finance and Economics last December, ask me anything!
Hey everyone,
This past summer was honestly stressful. I spent a lot of time trying to find reliable information about LSE applications online and couldn't find much, and the admission consultants charging ridiculous fees weren't helping either.
So I wanted to give back a bit.
I got into LSE's MSc Finance and Economics with what most people would consider a non-traditional background. My degree was in Management, and my work experience was mostly in entrepreneurship and venture capital, not the typical quant or investment banking profile you'd expect for a finance masters.
No finance research, no CFA, no "obvious" finance CV, average GMAT (695 FE).
If you're applying to LSE or similar programmes and feeling lost, feel free to drop your questions in the comments or shoot me a DM. Especially if your background doesn't fit the mold, that's kind of my thing.
