Observation: 99% of Princeton's 2020 MFin class come from a non target

Just something I was looking at. Princeton's MFin 2020 class has had their resumes released

Not a single target undergrad

edit: ok there is 1 cornell u

 

MFin programs mostly care about your GPA/GMAT and internship experience. Almost all of these kids have 3.9+ GPA's and killer GMATs, while most have done at least a couple of relevant industry internships & maybe some research projects.

To infinity... and beyond!

Not sure exactly what you're getting at. If you're just dispersing information I guess that's cool and thanks, will be interesting to look it.

If you're shocked that there are no target undergrads I'm not sure why... MFin programs are GENERALLY used to supplement undergraduate coursework / rebrand yourself / gain some technical skills etc. (All of which one might argue are things that people from less prestigious schools might want / need)

I'd argue that it is actually ABNORMAL that many of these students have stellar GPA's, Solid GMAT / GRE scores AND applicable industry internships / jobs. What the hell is the kid that interned freshman year at McKinsey going to gain from this (Honors Math and CompSci major, cum laude graduate, Harvard and NYU research experience, MS and AIG finance experience). You're telling me he really couldn't get a FT job he wanted with that track record? (I also guarantee the MFin program will be less technically stimulating for someone with his background as opposed to an Econ major from a random non-target)
