Chances for Owen (Vanderbilt) and Olin (WashU) for MSF? In a somewhat unique situation and an MSF seems like the best option.
Hey everyone, brand new to this forum and want to know if an MSF is for me and the chances of getting into these or similar programs.
I will be graduating from a southern non-target large state school in May 2020 with a degree in Business Admin - Finance and a minor in Economics. I will be graduating in three years with a ~3.85-3.90 GPA. I plan on getting a 700 on the GMAT based on practice tests and I still have a few hundred hours of studying for me to improve my score further.
Experiences: Fellow in my University's Honor Program, Chair of Student Government Committee on Finance (manage $400,000 budget), and I have been working for ~10 months at a local Consulting/Product Development Firm as a Business Development Intern. I've had some various leadership positions in my fraternity. I am also an Eagle Scout and have won some awards from Student Government and other activities. In addition I have been working 20/hr a week throughout my undergrad to help pay for college.
Why do I want to get an MSF: Between COVID-19 and graduating in three years, getting an internship in Finance from a non-target was nearly impossible. Given my resume, getting a job in finance after graduating seems like it is not something that I should be banking on. I the company that my internship is at but I could never work there for the rest of my life.
An MSF seems to be a great option to get a job in the finance industry (ideally an Analyst, either IB or corporate). Do I have a chance at getting into Owen or Olin? Should I be aiming higher, (or more likely) lower? I would love to hear people's thoughts.
I know I don't have the work experience these programs often look for but between academic success, non-finance work experience, and a hopefully above average GMAT score I feel I have a shot.
