Will a gap year hamper my chance of getting into masters in finance program?

I already had gap years due to covid stuff before my post graduation.Currently I am preparing for FRM. Also I don't have good academic background. What I want to ask is if I clear FRM, get a job and work for a year till 2025, try for a 730 gmat score and if possible I will add CFA certificate. Will this hamper my chance of getting into finance masters in good b school for finance masters?

No. Students on taught masters are a mix of fresh graduates and folks whose have taken a year or two out. It’s unlikely to be of any concern unless you’ve got 5+ years experience in the workplace.

(I work in postgrad recruitment / admissions)
