Question

Shweta Mandal · Accepted Answer

when i applied for mfin, my biggest worry was a low gpa and only a year in audit at kpmg. i didnt know how to make that look strong enough, so i tried mimessay. apart from essays, they also helped with lors like telling me to ask my team lead instead of a professor which made more sense. my first drafts still came back with lots of cuts which was frustrating, but it pushed me to add smaller things i had skipped  like a research project and cfa prep. i didnt get into lse, but i did convert essec and smu. the way they structured my story and lors definitely helped alot

a low gpa and just one year in audit isnt the best profile, but it doesnt rule you out. mit or lse will be hard, but schools like essec, bocconi, smu or some uk unis are still possible. it really comes down to how you explain your goals and make the most of whatever you have done so far. mimessay or any consultant cant fix your grades, but they can push you to frame your story better and pick the right mix of schools. if you are confident with essays, you could try alone. If  not, a consultant can help so you dont waste another round.

for my mfin apps, i wasnt sure if my profile would stand out since i only had basic finance exposure. i decided to work with mimessay, and what helped was how they spent time shortlisting schools that actually fit me instead of just aiming at the top ones. the process wasnt always quick, but it kept me focused and on track. i ended up with an admit at a imperial which felt like a realistic outcome for me.

low gpa plus short audit experience makes mfin abroad tougher, especially for the top names. but schools also care about how you explain your goals and the finance skills you have built. a consultant like mimessay can help you frame that better and guide you towards programs where the profile fits.  they wont magically turn your app into mit level, but some good mfin programs should be within reach if you plan it properly.

they cant change your profile but they can help you build a stronger story around what you already have. if you are not sure how to position your audit experience getting their feedback might actually help.
