I have close to a 3.0 gpa as an Electrical Engineering major from Rutgers University (big ten state school). I got a 2300 on my SATs so I think I can pull a 650 - 700 GMAT. I really want to get into investment banking. What masters in finance are a target for me?
Also do i need an MSF to break into banking? Were do I go from here?

Thanks for your reply,
From the thread, I'm a target Vandy, WUSTL, Villanova, UT, USC.

1) Rutgers has plenty of alumni on the street. I would look for a decent job and try and build from there.
2) Hard major, low GPA. 3.0 isn't a killer though.
3) Higher the GMAT, the better. You want to offset this GPA.
Assuming you get a 690 or better, you'd be very competitive for Villanova, less so for the rest. Your profile would be on the lower end of all the other schools.
Apply early, get some great recommendations and you might get into one of them. My guy says WUSTL or Vandy are the more probably admits vs. the other two.
