LSE Msc Operational Research or Applicable Mathematics - my profile

Im looking to apply to LSE now for a postgraduate Msc Degree in Operational Research. I was just curious if my application is competitive enough, Im mostly worried about my Grad GPA (I already have a masters degree)


UG: Indian Instt of Tech - Chemical Engg&Biotech - 8.41/10
PG: Boston University - Biomedical Engg - 3.33/4

GRE: 800/800 Q 690/800 V 5.0/6.0 W


Im just curious how my 'not so stellar' grad GPA will be looked at. I'd like to point out that I took a bunch of tough classes in Stochastic Processes, Nonlinear Dynamics, Advanced Signals and Systems, Point Process Statistics, all at postgraduate level and managed grades from B+ to A, but a C in Physiology took a big toll on the GPA.

Im looking to get into high end analytics after this degree, basically after all the quant skills that I already have.

Hi there,

Let me know if you get accepted? I have also applied, I have a background in economics. I completed my undergraduate in business/economics and have worked in economic research/analysis for a top-tier bank in greece for around 5yrs now.

Your GRE score is amazing! That would win me over. :wink:
