Need your opinions on different MSF programs in the US as an international applicant
Hi guys,
I am a business administration and economics with concentration in finance undergrad from Germany and my biggest dream is to do my Master of Finance in the US (STEM) and work there afterward.
I looked at all the programs and will tell you my favorites.
I am a bit concerned about my GPA, it is only 3.2 and I am currently studying for the GMAT (Hope to end up somewhere around at least 650 - the more the better).
I also spent my exchange semester at San Diego State and I hope this is also a positive fact for my application?
Concerning work experience, I did an 2 1/2 year apprenticeship, worked as an Accountant for 1 1/2 year at a international corporation and did an internship in the M&A Transaction Services department at Deloitte.
I wanna have all doors open in M&A, Private Equity, or even things like consulting or Real Estate but I don´t say that I absolutely have to go to a BB or so. Time will tell.
So the brand of the university is important but the culture and the city is also important to me.
These are my favorite programs:
USC
UT Austin
Vanderbilt
Notre Dame
UCSD
SMU Dallas
UT Dallas
Ohio State
What do you think about these choices?
Do I have a shot at universities like Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, or USC??
It is hard to evaluate for me since I am from Europe and barely have insights.
Where is it best to live/What is the best culture and where do I have the best opportunities for later?
Would love to hear your opinions, I really appreciate your help!
Thank!!!
