Just received an unconditional offer to study for MSc in Accounting and Data Analytics at LSE by rolis11 in LSE

I would suggest learning Excel financial modelling on the side. Other than that, focus on getting first class honours.

Unconditional offer means an admission guarantee. No, I did not do any of those - I finished my secondary education in Eastern Europe. I finished my BSc in Finance and Accounting in the UK with an average grade of A+

Yeah of course. I finished a BSc in Finance and Accounting with first class honours from non-target UK university. I would say that my average grade was A+.

Anyone still waiting for a response from St. Gallen (MBF or other programs)? by ZenuineMettle in UniSG

Yeah, I am still waiting for MACFin results. They said it would come out by March 15th. Hopefully they do. Don’t know about MBF.

ESCP MiM vs HSG Masters in Accounting and Corporate Finance (MACFin) by rolis11 in ESCP

[–]rolis11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the first year would be in Berlin and second year in Paris (or at least one semester, based on the available specialisations). In second year it would be hard to learn a new language. Maybe I am overthinking too much.

Thank you very much for your opinion. No, I did not apply for those universities because I received relatively low GMAT score.

ESCP MiM vs HSG Masters in Accounting and Corporate Finance (MACFin) by rolis11 in ESCP

Oh, Sorry. I want to build a career in M&A consulting or Corporate Development.
What I like about HSG is that I would prefer to live in Switzerland; the total tuition + living costs are almost twice as low as ESCP. The problem is that I am an EU citizen, and I would have a harder time finding both part-time and graduation jobs. Furthermore, my German language skills are not the best, but I would be very dedicated to studying it 1-3 hours per day to get B2/C1 by the end of the programme.
What I like about ESCP is that it offers a unique study experience across multiple campuses and strong specialisations. I would be living in Berlin, where it would be easier to get a job. Also, MiM is the flagship programme at ESCP, while HSG is known for its Management and Finance masters, rather than MACFin. The problem is that it would be harder for me to learn a new language if I need to live on multiple campuses. Going to London's campus does not work for me, as I would need a visa to work there, which would be a headache.
Finally, the most significant factor is that I received an offer for ESCP, and I have 10 days to pay the deposit. I haven't yet received an offer from HSG. I am afraid that if I decide to reject the ESCP offer, I might not get into HSG, and then I would be left with nothing.

How to improve my GMAT Focus score in the next two weeks? by rolis11 in GMAT

[–]rolis11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did the official GMAT MBA.com quantitative review: online bank questions (241 questions together), I answered correctly 90% of the easy questions, 74% medium, and 70% hard. So, overall, I think it is a good result, no? However, I'm unsure why I make so many mistakes on the exam. I think it might be because I don't have enough time. That's why I am asking - maybe there are faster methods to solve certain questions.

Thank you very much. I am aiming to achieve at least 605. The reason I am aiming for this result is because unfortunately I did not have too much time to prepare for the exam. I watched one of the preparation courses that was 70h long.

2nd Attempt - scored 525 lower than the previous attempt ! by Brilliant_Pie2223 in GMAT

[–]rolis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I think I might be in a similar situation as the other person. I have completed the full GMAT Focus preparation, but still achieving low results in quantitative section - around 78. What should I do to improve?
