To get some finance knowledge would be beneficial but because it's a non target school it might decrease your chances for OCR. I would consider applying to a better school because you went to a decent undergrad already. Why mess up your resume with a bleak MS.

 

No one uses the MSF to learn more about finance. They use the degree to get a job. If you get it at a non-target, there really is no point, unless you are swimming in money and just dying to learn.

The disconnect between knowing what you're doing and employment isn't as large as your response implies.

I wouldn't go that far. People use the MSF for a variety of reasons. But if you don't give a shit about finance you are in for one rough year. The level of finance education is going to be well above anything you touch on during UG. Do you need this level of finance for banking? No. This is more in line with learning CFA material. But whatever your motivation, you will come out of the program knowing a hell of a lot more about finance than most undergrads.
