I am a Professor in Banking from University of Bristol and I would like to give you some of my advice. I suggest you go to Cardiff because this is a big city where there are many respectable professors with high profile and very good facilities and support for research. Essex is good for pure economics but not for banking and finance. Loughborough is so so, a very new university with a short history. It is located in a rural area that I think you will feel bored if study there.

The median expected salary for a typical Economist (Corporate) in the United States is $106,886. However, I have heard of senior economists in IB or commercial lending earning upwards of $300k in NY or Boston.

Do I have any chances to get into LSE
Do I have any chances to get into LSE?
I am planning to take MSc in Finance or (and) Economics in LSE (or UCL or Imperial College of London, or any good schools that you would recommend). The only thing is that I had my previous BSc in Information Management and Technology in Syracuse University with 3.34/4 GPA. Could you please tell me what would be the best way to be able to get to these schools? One more off topic question, what is the best degree to be a trader in a stock exchange?

Let them know that you have lots of money and plan to financially support the institution for the rest of your life. That gets their attention.

London School of Economics: is it worth the burden
London School of Economics: is it worth the burden?
Hello, does anyone here study at LSE? I'm thinking about applying for the MSc Political Sociology; even if they blow their own horn very well in the prospectus, the question "what am I going to do with a master's in such a theoretical subject, not economics or accounting" keeps popping out: £9,144 are a lot of money, and it would be great to have them paid back working where my title is looked well upon. Any hints from inside the school? Thanks!

I took classes at LSE this summer and thought it was an amazing school. The professors are top notch; they're incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and engaging. The students were really cool, too. I loved going there. It's an incredibly respected, prestigious school, and having a degree from there will look great on your CV, and I think it could lead to some interesting career options. Perhaps you could pursue working in the human rights field or for the government? Or you could go on to law school? Idk.......just ideas off the top of my head. I think it's a fairly new degree at LSE, but maybe if other schools have offered it for longer you could do some poking around their sites and see what careers graduates pursued. Good luck! : )

For the MBA, good grades such as 3.8 or higher, high GMAT score such as 680 or higher, and 3-4 years good work experience after the undergraduate degree. for an MS degree, pretty much the same but work experience tends to be less important. Explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.

Prof's answer hits the nail on the head for the MBA, but I have some experience with applying to LSE, Cambridge, and Oxford for Master's in finance programs so I thought I would share. I graduated with three undergraduate degrees (BS Math, BA Econ, and BBA Finance) and a 3.89 GPA. Applied to Cambridge MPhil Finance, LSE MPhil Finance, and Oxford MSc in Financial Economics. Outright rejected from Oxford, made it to one of the final rounds at Cambridge but sadly was not accepted (my dream school... even had a letter of rec from a former Cambridge professor!!!), and accepted to LSE. LSE was too expensive and I got in to a few US PhD programs, so made the tough decision of not going to England. It is terribly competitive, and your background is similar to mine (if you are thinking of applying to these schools I am assuming your GPA is at least 3.7+), so you have a shot but it is never a sure thing. As far as i-banking and hedge fund possibilities upon graduation, LSE and Said at Oxford are probably your best bets, since the Judge School of Business isn't as well respected in the finance community (although it is still Cambridge, so you will be ok...). Good luck! PS It is much easier to get accepted to the master's programs in economics compared to finance, but it is more difficult to go from econ master's to i-banking/hedge funds, so keep that in mind.
