Have you been consulting in the Fintech space? Hopefully you can show a pattern of impact, at work, and in any other activities you pursue, outside of work. (0)

I selected the schools based on the propensity of develping on Fintech, and Oxford is, in my view, a safety option with a really strong fintech program. I have been consulting on the payments industry, and I want to use the MBA to broaden my expertise into other financial and tech industries. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Working for a couple of years I need US/UK post mba makes sense. Schools make sense. You can apply for Round 1, then adjust your strategy for Round 2, if appropriate. Any ECs/volunteer experiences to round out your profile? (0)

anon23322 Likes Earned: 0 Not many formal EC after the undergraduate, just a couple of electronics projects (an ethereum miner, a couple of home automatization projects), but I was the studen president of my major during undergraduate. Is it too late to participate in volunteering events? Or should I try to position the previously mentioned activities better? (0)
