UF Undergrad finance or UF MSF?

Would i be better off not getting a MSF at UF, or would a MSF help me? You get the MSF in 4 years. Assume in both positions, high grades/ec's/internships.

Some resumes/past placements. http://warrington.ufl.edu/graduate/academics/msf/resumes.asp

The woman who runs the msf is on point. I don't think you need it, but if you're up for the extra work I think it makes you stand out. UF is a great school, but not exactly a target. I know a bunch of UF MSF students working in FO finance though.

Theyre placement looks fantastic though. I feel like as long as im in the top 25% of it id be very safe.
 

I also agree MSF lady (KH) is on point. If you're trying to break into IB, especially from a not-so-target like UF, it's pretty much the only way to go. Be prepared to work, but the placement is good especially in the southeast (Atlanta, NC). Source: I think you can guess what school I went to. I did MSRE and undergrad in finance. Took plenty of shared classes with MSF kids.
