Masters in Finance for US Student, Non-Target, Great GPA, BS in Finance/Economics
So currently I have a 3.6 GPA. I have little to no work experience. All my classes at school, US based Tier 1, (TOP 10 school for Engineering Majors) have been in finance and economics. I haven't taken any BS classes in art or history etc. So right now I am at the point of I am going to graduate in 1 year, and if I want to take the GMAT and do well, I need to take the GMAT prep course which begins in a week. This is due to me applying for the MSF in September. However, does anyone think I need to apply, or I can just take my UG degree and hope for the best in the job market. I read that the MSF is for people with a low GPA or no work experience but the low GPA factor carriers much more weight in why people get the degree. I just want to be guaranteed the best and top secure job when graduating. Any opinions on this this? Note as an additional factor I am debating taking the CFA in December, yes I know its a lot of work to study for but I would be prepared. Would a Level 1 certification mean anything to an employer next spring, thus I would get looked at for a job position, or is it worth it to go for the MSF.
Secondly which MSF program to choose if I want to pursue the degree... Material I already have learned and am proficient in. VBA Excel Expert, Micro/Macro Econ, NPV, IRR, 10k, LBO, CLO, ie. everything corporate finance in that respect. A lot of the programs I see for example Vanderbilt your first semester they teach you Micro and Macro ECON, which I already know so it would be a waste of an experience. So I am not asking which schools are the best people know of, but which schools both internationally and domestic (US) really have the upper hand in what you learn, they courses they teach are a level beyond others/they already assume you know more than the others, thus not bother teaching them to you. (NOTE: I do realize some schools have summer courses to teach you the prerequisites, if you want to incorporate that into a response thanks). Yes, I have looked at the financial times at their 2013 and 2012 Masters in Finance Pre Experience Rankings however I have small trouble seeing which schools actually have students that speak english and their class profiles, GPA, GMAT etc.

Reading that giant wall of text (complete with typos and the general rambling nature of the post) gave me a headache.
