Accepted to multiple MSF, which should I choose?
-I am an upcoming graduate from a non target state school with a 3.4 upper GPA and 650 GMAT. -I have been accepted to the MSF program at FSU, USC, Villanova, and have an interview with WUSTL this week but am expecting to get in. -I want to leverage my MSF degree into an IBD position at bulge bracket bank.
I am not really Florida State, but am unsure of which of the three other schools, (USC, WUSTL, or Villanova) will give me the best opportunities moving forward. I know they are all similar tier schools, but rankings change and the program at USC is very new. I have heard that these programs are very regional and you should attend a school closest to where you want to work. I am equally interested in either region, as I know Villanova will put me closest to NYC, WUSTL to St. Louis and Chicago, and USC to San Francisco. Does anybody have any advice as to which program would best suit my career goals? Thanks in advance for any help!
I can't speak for MSF programs, but WUSTL has a strong presence on the street. All of my friends who went there for undergraduate had no trouble landing positions if they had put in the work. It's a Goldman core school for undergraduate recruiting.
I've heard you also can recruit for local roles in Chicago.
Not a chance WUSTL is a target school for Goldman. Not a damn chance.
looooooooooooooooooooooool
What kind of positions were your friends interested in landing? And any idea how well involved the alumni network is with the strong street presence that you mentioned?
I have friends who landed GS IBD and top boutique IBD as well. It's a bit of a go-getter school, but they seem to place pretty well.
I didn't go to WashU, but I would assume the alumni network is similar to strong semi-target schools in helping out students.
USC right now. Wait til you get into wustl to factor that into things. Forget FSU.
If he/she gets into WUSTL, then?
Should I get accepted to WUSTL how would you compare the two? Speaking with my friends already in the workforce they contend that USC is the stronger degree and offers more post grad opportunities as far as location goes. However the program at USC is so new that it is tough to gauge at this point.
Chances of WUSTL admit with those stats are not high. Why so confident? Am I missing intangibles?
