Masters of Finance - Name brand

I don't know much about it. Do you get recruited really well coming out of it from undergrad for investment banking, S&T, PE, HF, consulting, etc.? Is it like undergrad or MBA in which the school name brand matters?

There are a ton of posts on the topics (many from myself) so I would suggest searching some. But in general, the MSF is an opportunity to rebrand, to redo your GPA, to intern again, to have access to a different (maybe better) network and OCR as well as to expand and increase your knowledge.

Without relevant experience you will be recruited and hired on as an analyst. The program is hard and fast paced. I'd suggest normal math skills (stats, probability, calc) as well as a business UG major.

Decide where you want to work and in what industry. These programs are largely regional (with exception of MIT). You can also look at Masters in Management programs if you have more of a general business interest.
