Hey. I am in the process of applying for a masters in Finance at Imperial. I have a question: how long is your personal statement? Mine is 2 pages single spaced. Is that too long? How exactly do we fill the mathematics experience statement?

My personal statement is about the same length as yours (2 pages single space) and for the mathematical experience, I simply wrote a brief summary of the maths courses I took at university with their components (I probably did it wrong haha)

Do you mind sharing your profile?

I would like to apply for Ms in Finance in Imperial College and my profile is as follows:

Major: Business Administration/Finance GPA:3.87 / 4.00 - Highest in Department and Faculty
Minor: Economics, GPA:3.67

Numerous extracurricular activities. 4 internships, one in my country's stock exchange, one in the banking department of Central Bank and one in Erasmus Internship Program.

34th out of 1.5 million students in university entrance exam. One of the references is from former Central Bank Governor who is also instructor in finance department and one reference from associate professor in Business Ad. Department but not teaching finance.

My question is: What are my chances to be accepted for this program and is getting a reference letter from a instructor who was former Central Bank Governor rather than a finance professor a downside?

Thank you in advance.

Hey Guys,
I was about to start the application but I do not see the subject while selecting the course on the first page.The closest it comes to MSc Finance is

Mathematics and Finance (MSc 1YFT) |G1U4|2|SK|FT|AC
Mathematics and Finance (MSc 2YPT) |G1U424|2|SK|PT|AC

I am not sure if it is the same as MSc Finance.Please help I feel like an idiot asking this but there is no way out.

Hey Hazel
I think you should be fine.You can submit your GMAT or GRE scores to show them your quantitative strength in case you feel doubtful.

Since you are submitting your transcripts I believe you should be fine.
As for SoP in MSc finance there was not a word limit that was mentioned I believe I went all the way to 1500 words.

How long should the maths experience statement be? What do you suggest to include?

I will apply to accounting and finance and msc in finance. A&C first round due in 14 January and Finance second round due in February. To increase my chances to be accepted for one of them, does not matter, which one do you suggest to select first choice?
