Career suggestion - Civil Engineering Major

New to this group

Profile:

1)Civil Engineering major with not so great CGPA from top tier college in india ( IIT Bombay)
2) Not so great CGPA
3) Working with a tech company for the last two years which seems to be a dead end.
4) Did an intern with a trading research firm.
5) Planning to apply for MSc finance as I am extremely interested to take up a career in capital markets starting as an equity analyst. ( Would like to move into M&A later on)

What are the prospects of me getting into a good school with the kind of profile that I have? Planning to give my GMAT and aiming at 710+. Planning to apply for the coming fall semester.

Really appreciate your suggestions.

I would say you have pretty decent chances of making it to some good grad schools here in US, considering you have an average CGPA. What's your CGPA like?

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
