Dear Admissions Committee, My summer internship in M&A at Goldman Sachs London — where I built DCF and LBO models for a €450M sell-side mandate in European retail and contributed to 3 active mandates — confirmed a clear ambition: building my early career as an Analyst in a top-tier investment bank in London before pivoting to growth-stage private equity in Europe. The LBS Masters in Management (MIM), ranked #3 worldwide by Financial Times 2024 and structurally embedded in London's financial hub, is the right lever. I am a recent graduate of HEC Paris Bachelor in Business Administration (GPA 3.8/4.0, Magna Cum Laude, top 8% of cohort) with an exchange semester at NUS Business School Singapore (GPA 4.4/5.0). I have built a focused trajectory: M&A summer analyst at Goldman Sachs London, summer analyst in Strategy at Bain & Company Paris (supported European retail post-merger integration on €2B combined revenue), President of HEC Investment Society (480 members, 14 senior practitioner events). My GMAT 740 and IELTS 8.0 validate the academic baseline. LBS is the right lever for three precise reasons: the "Advanced Corporate Finance" course taught by Prof. Florin Vasvari is a global reference; the LBS Investment Banking Club has placed 80%+ of members in top-tier banks over the last 3 years; the London-based curriculum gives direct access to my target recruitment market (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Lazard, Rothschild — all within walking distance of campus). My 18-month post-MIM goal: secure an Analyst position in a top investment bank in London (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan). At 5 years: pivot to a London-based growth private equity fund (Hg, Vitruvian, Cinven) with a TMT thesis focus. I bring to the cohort 2 years of operational M&A experience (3 active mandates touched), strong analytical rigour (top 8% Bachelor + GMAT 740), and a proven track record in society leadership (built HEC Investment Society from 220 to 480 members in 9 months). I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my application in interview. Thank you for considering my candidacy. Sincerely, [Name]

Erreurs fatales à éviter

  • Writing in French translated literally to EN

    → Anglo-saxon style: direct, action-oriented, quantified. Avoid French heavy formality.

  • Generic « LBS prestige » mentions

    → Cite specific courses, faculty, clubs, alumni network. Avoid generic « top business school » statements.

  • Career plan vague (« I want to work in finance »)

    → Precise: bank tier, function, geography, horizon.

  • No quantified impact in internships

    → Every internship bullet must have a number: $/€/£ figures, %, # of people, # of deliverables.
