Hello,

My background: Graduated from Carleton University with a Bachelor of Commerce in 2009, I have returned to Hong Kong to start my career. For the past 2 years, I have worked in UBS, and now in an attempt to strengthen my educational background, I decided to go to USA to obtain a Master Degree in Financial Engineering.

Bachelor of Commerce, 4 years prog, Carleton University, Canada, GPA: B- / 70-73%
Working at UBS, 2 years exp
GMAT: 660 (Q:48 V: 33)

I will retake the GMAT on 29 Feb, attempting to improve my GMAT score.

I know my GPA is a big disadvantage, in fact, I entered with a huge entrance scholarship, and my GPA was Aced in the first year; however, due to personal reason, I totally ruined my academic score in the rest of years. (I am going to explain this in the academic essay)

Is there any way I can get accepted by an above average B-school in United States?

Please note I am applying the Financial Engineering or Investment Management program, not the MBA.

Please evaluate my profile, or give me some advice, thank you very much.

Ryan

Hi! Unfortunately, my expertise is really in US-based MBA programs. I am not familiar enough with master's degrees in financial engineering to give you an accurate read on your candidacy.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
