Finished Semester 1 of my MBA, need advice on course selection

Hello

Just finished my first semester of my MBA and was interested in getting some advice on course selection. The MBA school isn't the best here in Ontario but it isn't bad. They have a reputable MFIn program. Last years grads also did well, placed in Investment Banking/Capital Market positions in Toronto. I think I have set a realistic goal of getting a position in wealth management or something like a financial analyst. I was wondering if these courses will adequately prepare me for said positions:

Semester 2 FIXED INCOME ANALYSIS MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS ENTREPRENEURIAL FINANCE DERIVATIVES & FIN RISK MGMT SHORT TERM FINANCIAL MGMT FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

I know it's a lot but some of these courses are not available during the summer term. I will probably look at taking financial accounting 1/2 and Advanced Corp Finance to complete the program.

Thanks.
