Vandy MSF to IB BB?

Hi everyone, 

I'm a sophomore at a IU Kelley and I'm considering the Vanderbilt MSF program so that it would improve my chances at landing a full time offer, ideally at a BB in NY.

Currently, I'm considering finishing school in 3 years and my fourth year, do the MSF degree at Vandy. I ended up slightly late for SA 2022 preparation with networking, grades, clubs etc and still looking to break into IB or REPE. My GPA is a 3.5 which blows but I'm confident I'll put it up. Finishing school in 3 years, then prep and get a GMAT score of at least more than 700, balance internships etc. is going to take a lot but is it worth it because Vandy's MSF program would significantly improve my chances at a full time offer?I'd like any advice regarding how good Vandy's MSF program is and whether grads from that program have a good shot at top banks. I've read Vandy's website, their employment report etc and I was very impressed but at the same time there are certain cons. Any thoughts? If any current Vandy MSF student, could comment, that would be great. 

Thanks!
