Imperial College Msc Finance 2012-2013

Totally agree with you...but I'm facing this sort of trade off. Since I'm doing an internship right now I can only study for the GMAT in the late evening and weekends and it will take a while to get ready. Moreover there is the possibility that I won't get a satisfactory result the first time I try and this would delay the whole thing even more...in any case I won't be able to take the GMAT before the end of February. On the other side there is no GMAT but the possibility to apply earlier, and try to make the app as better as I can. Do you think that applying within the end of the week I will still be considered an "early applicant"?

Thx

Anyone here apply before Jan the 16th deadline for the 1st round? When you guys think they will start giving out offers for the Finance MSc?

Anyone received a decision from Imperial today?

did you get an offer? the wait is killing me.

Just received an offer. Need to get a 2:1, relieved.

As an Imperial undergrad intending to do a MSc Finance in two years, I would just like to add that Imperial's course is regarded to be slightly over priced (having spoken to students of the course) but the mathematical rigour of the syllabus beats that of just about every other MSc Finance course in the country. In fact I think you'll find the level of maths a shock coming from a Finance undergrad, I've heard that even Imperial's scientists/engineers find the maths challenging.

A real bonus of the Imperial course is that it incorporates the CFA exam which can be a real plus if it's something you value (some do, some don't). They also have programming (both optional) which apparently has proved very favourable by hedge funds looking for algo traders. I would say this course is one of if not the top feeder to hedge funds in this country.

I would agree with Swayum, if you want to get into S&T then LSE will naturally open more doors and on an international level the LSE brand will be more recognized (Imperial is almost unheard of in the states).

To be honest though they're both top courses and the differences are marginal and I guess it just comes down to personal choice. I know plenty who have rejected the LSE course for Imperial because they don't find it rigorous enough.

Offer for MSc Finance, think alot came out today

congrats! can i ask when did you apply? i still havent gotten mine yet. stillll waiting

hehe, I am also still wating for a decision. Applied 5th Dec, so I think my application isn't an easy choice for them. At least they didn't reject me so far. It seems that they don't consider applications by date.

Yeah I applied quite early aswell still to hear. I am kind of worried now.

Just want to check...does the appliation status switch to "Under Consideration" like other university programs or does it stay as "being processed" until you get either an offer or rejection?
