Life Science UG to MSF

Hey guys,

I’m a Neuroscience major at an Ivy looking to get into finance, preferably asset management or equity research. I’ve taken finance/accounting and basic economics classes as well as have involvement in healthcare business groups. I’m looking at MSF as a possibility for pivoting - would you recommend? I’m thinking the top pre-exp locations like Vandy and Nova, but any other places I should consider I’ll happily include.

GPA 3.54, soon to be higher, close to 3.6

Second semester senior - lab experience only

no GMAT yet but killed the SAT and the practice questions I’ve taken online have been easier than I was expecting - tho I’m STEM I’m strong in verbal and interpersonal skills as well
