MSF programs

I am a sophomore at a non target. If I cannot get a full time offer in IB then my goal would be to pursue masters program in finance. I have been taking practice GMAT tests and have been averaging around 720/730 (should be able to break 750 with more practice). My GPA as of now is 3.7 and 4.0 major (Econ & Finance) GPA. From next year I will be taking most classes solely from my major so it should get my GPA up to 3.85 by the time I apply for MSF programs.

I also have a corporate finance internship at a F500 this year and will hopefully get some type of internship next year as well.

That said, I was wondering what MSF programs should I specifically look into? I know that I can't don't MFin at MIT or Princeton because of the lack of work experience and the quantitative classes.

I want to be at a BB investment bank as an analyst.

I have a friend going to MIT too right out of undergrad. Semi-target with 3.95+ in econ-math and 760 GMAT. She got a pretty substantial scholarship as well, so with your statistics, I think an acceptance is pretty realistic for you.

 

Voluptatem aut incidunt earum ea perspiciatis atque iste. Est totam omnis quos quae. Officiis sed a sint ad totam fuga quam. Minus natus quod cumque illum in mollitia. Quibusdam qui iste optio nisi. Soluta tenetur saepe minus sint.
