Mr. Master Of None

About Me:

I have been working in investment management for over 4 years now at two large asset managers. I’m a former track athlete and I am now transitioning to ultra-endurance competitions. I am also a lifelong musician, and while I’m not pursuing it as a career, making music is still a huge part of my life and I play a handful of different instruments. I’m an avid international traveler and would love to spend the next 5-10 years living outside the states.

Hi, Mr. Master of None, Julie-Anne Heafey here from mbaMission. I really appreciate your wide ranging interests and ambition to expand your point of view. LBS is a bit of an anomaly among the UK schools in that sometimes they can put a little more pressure on the GMAT score, but your score is not terribly far off from their average, so hopefully that will be fine. Your GPA is good, especially considering it was a double major while you were competing in a demanding D1 track program and battling injury…I think these programs will appreciate that (BTW INSEAD tends to really like athletes, but be mindful that you’ll have some language requirements there). I also appreciate that you’ve already got your CFA …

I also appreciate that you’ve already got your CFA I down and are working toward the next level. Overall, my advice is simply to articulate clearly why LBS and try to execute well on the application! Best of luck…
