Will WHU Otto Beisheim MFin be a good option for me ?
I want to choose WHU Otto Beisheim MFin as a second choice after HEC Paris. Will it be a good choice?
My profile:
CGPA 3.81/4
ECA: Was a president of the finance club, Conduct many events, and participated as well as won some competitions.
Internship: At a local bank and at a growing startup as a growth manager
Expected GMAT score: 700+ (Let's have hope for it)
Language: Bangla, Hindi, English, German (B2), French (A1)
My target is always IB and I want to apply for the master's program as soon as I finish my bachelor's program. HEC Paris but I guess it would be a risky move since HEC Paris has an acceptance rate of 12% only and that's why I want to put WHU on the list. As I know German quite well, I feel I can have some advantage in Germany but unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone from India or any neighboring countries who completed Mfin from WHU and got an IB role which is not the case for HEC Paris at all! Is WHU worth it after all?
As a German national, let me give you my perspective.
WHU is a respectable uni in Germany and the network is supposedly very helpful from what I have heard (albeit Frankfurt school would be a much better choice in terms of private universities geared towards IB since WHU is more entrepreneurial in nature). GMAT score appears to be an overkill for that kind of university though.
Overall, if you plan on working in Germany, WHU is not going to be the issue and should help you get a foot in the door. However your internships will be a major obstacle since you don't have any IB related ones.
Hope it helped!
If someone with his background wanted to get into consulting, maybe tier 2 or 3 firms such as big 4 etc. Or Investment Banking at "lower tier shops"( I don't mean to sound like a prestige whore) will it be possible to obtain internships during a masters programme?
Yes definitely. WHU is universally accepted to be one of the best Unis in Germany. Getting an internship anywhere in Europe is possible with good enough grades (in IB&Consulting ofc)
Thank you so much for your help, If you don't mind I have another question:
I heard that it's easy to get a job at say big 4 Germany, is this true? Are there chances that you end up jobless from a decent masters programme?
Big4 audit is really easy to get in; M&A/TAS require
some experience and decent grades but with a
master from a solid Uni line Mannheim/WHU/FS you re definitely overqualified. Feel free to dm me if you have any other questions.
Thank you so much for your help, I've dropped a dm!
what about getting internships as a summer or winter analyst. Do also they require experience? what are the odds of securing an internship releted to IB/M&A atleast?
