Hi Kunal,

Cranfield is way ahead of Bradford. Though the Msc Fin & Mgmt. has'nt yet gained repute as a top choice, its picking up real fast. Its perhaps the most mature Msc course in the UK. You 'll find a lot of diversity; a few mid level managers and entrepreneurs.

If its between Cranfield and Bradford, Cranfield without a doubt

Hi Ravi

Thanks for starting the topic. Though at this stage, I am still one of the aspirants for the MSc Finance and Management program at Cranfield, I would like to know more about the program. I have applied to th program last week and they have said that it would take two more weeks for them to asses the application. And I would be thankful if anyone can let me know if my profile can help me get through.

Degree:MSc in Economics and B.E Computer Science from BITS pilani.
GMAT:680
TOEFL:108 out of 120
Work Experience: 1 year Internship at INSEAD Business School
and 9 months experience at Aranca (Business and Investment research firm)

Other: I have started a new website (industropedia) and have been working on it for the past 3 months.

Weakness: I have a relatively less GPA.

Many thanks,
Nitin

Hey guys,

I got admitted toMSc Finance and Management for intake '09 as well

Does anyone know something about the job perspectives?? Do banks come to cranfield campus and interview msc students?

@ ntm,

You should be getting into Cranfield with no problem at all.
The only thing could be that its probably getting towards the end of the season and most places would have been taken. Cranfield does'nt usually give more than 75 offers, with the class size being not more than about 50. They usually get 500 applications a year so the acceptance ratio is a bit on the lower side. But I'm sure they 'll give a lot of respect for BITS and your work ex. Where did you do your Econ degree from?

@ipe,

Cranfield is amongst the best in business studies. The Finance program is very well structured and of what I've heard from past students, its grads are doing pretty well. Not yet a stellar to attract the Investment Banks, but a few business banks come for presentations.

I personally would have gone to Cranfield, but LSE offer made the choice easier for me.

Hey Harsha!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the timing is a little late. I have already got few rejects from some programs, which i thought i wud easily get through. (Financial Economics at HEC and few in the US as well). The only offer i have in hand is from IIT Chicago (with aid). But i am very sure cranfield has a better reputation than IIT Chicago. Also the course content is amazing at Cranfield. Not sure about the job prospects though. Situation seems to be bad every where. So i feel its better to go with a program which we can enjoy the most and learn whats seems to be interesting for us.

I have done my Economics too from BITS pilani. It was a dual degree course. So, Eco and CSE was the combination.

Now, fingers crossed!

Thanks,
Nitin

I have also an offer from Cranfield MSc Fin/Mgmt, but also from Durham Business School. I am still trying to figure out where to go. Cranfield has an awesome curriculum, but is pretty expensive!! And Durham isn't too bad either!!

avik_sriv you said you applied for michelle hostel?!? you ment mitchell hall, no?

18

Ya buddy i meant Mitchell hall
I have sent the deposit also for the hostel

19

I have also applied for Mitchell Hall and for the New Building. But I'd prefer catering and therefore would be more happy with Mitchel Hall (even you get only 1 meal per day and I need 3 actually!!)
