Hi everyone, I am a new user here and it is my first time posting.
I am a graduate of a top tier Canadian university with high first class honours. I am interested in applying for the MSc.Finance program at Imperial. I come from a different background than most and I am wondering if I even have a shot or if it's worth applying - I haven't written the GMAT and am trying to avoid it if I can. My background is B.Sc 1st class honours (4.12/4.3 GPA) Immunology & Microbiology and was the recipient of a prize upon graduation for top thesis and honours project as well as other outstanding academic achievement awards in my grad class. I have taken mathematically based courses through my degree such as calculus, physics, statistics, and a few years of chemistry. I have other things going for me such as first author publications, presentations at international conferences and an extensive research career. These are just a few things, I also have experience as VP non profit organization and president's and treasurer for multiple societies as well as international volunteering experience.
I am aware I am not the typical applicant but I am wondering if the uni has room for nontraditional applicants like me in the class. Feedback is appreciated, cheers.
