Career Transition- MSF to IB?
I am looking at applying to masters of finance programs as a career switcher. I have a family connection at an investment bank after completing, but I do not feel I yet deserve with my background. I am 32 years old, and I think I will likely (just) break 600 on GMAT based on practice tests. I live in TX currently, but am somewhat flexible. I would like to do an MS in finance
BA- Non-Target Midwest Liberal Arts School- Degree in Communications- 3.6 GPA last 60 hours (I was a little bit of a late bloomer..)
MBA- Executive- Top 25 Business School- Graduated with highest honors (top 20% in class) while running the PE backed business I laid out.
My background highlights are that I ran a private equity backed business for a lower middle market PE firm in oil and gas and we exited, providing a stellar (think about 3.5X) return for investors. Was mentored by a highly successful CEO at the beginning, and took it over and made something of it during and after $26/Oil.
What school would I be a target for?
Here's a few ideas:
-SMU
-DePaul
-UT Dallas
-University of Illinois
-UT Austin
Thanks everyone!
