Hi. Always the higher is score is better - often can result into a scholarship.
However, with only 2-3 years of work experience you are not bringing a whole lot to the program as a resource (if you don't have a high score) so the value will be diminished. MSc is fine and you can even get an MBA after one if you think it is worth the time and $$. The positions you get and directions from MSc and MBA are somewhat different but the inputs are different as well. If you want to be a specialist/finance professional, MSc is probably better, easier, faster, and cheaper.

Hi, thanks for the evaluation. Do you have any suggestions for the best Msc programs that I can apply to in English speaking countries? with a score of 560-610.

Hi @Mudit9601 , I hope all is well! Your profile demonstrates a good academic foundation with a GPA of 3.64 and 2.5 years of finance experience at an S&P 500 company is good but on the lower side. Your current GMAT Focus score of 545 limits your competitiveness for top MBA programs. Retaking the GMAT and targeting a score of 655+ will improve your chances. To strengthen your application, focus on showcasing measurable achievements, leadership potential, and a clear post-MBA vision. If reaching a competitive GMAT score remains a challenge, consider taking a look at MSc Finance or MiM at globally recognized institutions like LSE, HEC Paris, Bocconi, or ESSEC. These programs may also align well with your finance background and career goals, offering a strong alternative pathway for career growth. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to learn more about your profile in detail. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.
