Next to meeting the minimum requirements for the MSc Finance & Investments programme, applicants also go through a ranked selection process, including an online interview. This additional selection is due to the limited number of places available in the programme.
Online Interview: After the 31 October application deadline, all applicants will gain access to InterviewStream, where the one-way online interview is conducted. The interview is available for 5 days, opening on 6 November and closing at midnight (23:59 CET) on 10 November.
First Ranking: During the first ranking, eligible applicants will be ranked based on either their GPA or their GMAT/GRE score. Based on this ranking, it will determined which applicants will progress to the final stage of the selection process, in which the recorded online interview will be assessed. Depending on the number and quality of applications, approximately 500 applicants will continue to this round.
Applicants will receive an update once this ranking has been completed. At that point, applicants will be informed whether their interview will be included in the final selection process. This is expected to be mid-December.
Applicants whose interview will not be assessed due a lower ranking, will be offered admissions to other MSc programmes offered by RSM, provided that they meet the content related requirements. It's only possible to receive an offer of admission to programmes which still have spots available. Some programmes may have reached maximum capacity by the time the results are available.
Final Ranking: Once the online interviews have been assessed, the RSM Admissions Office will make a final ranking of the applicants. The final ranking is based on the total score obtained from the interview.
The top 375* students will be selected for the programme and receive a (conditional) offer of admission. The remaining applicants will be placed on a waiting list. The final results are expected to be announced mid-April.
*This number is subject to change until the 1st of October.
Applicants who are not selected for the MSc FI programme, will be placed on a waiting list and offered admissions to other MSc programmes offered by RSM, provided that they meet the content related requirements. The waitlist will remain active until 15 August.
