If you have work experience, I would shoot for the MBA.
So for most people, the choice on an MIT MFin vs. MIT MBA is pretty clear.
I hate to say it, but is one year and $65K of your life really going to be decided by which program is easier to get into?
If you are coming from trading and/or going back to trading, an MIT MFin is probably the way to go.
If you want to do something else, go for the MBA.
If you're thinking about an MFin, it's hard to mention MIT without also mentioning Princeton. Princeton requires a bit of a stronger math background, but if you have a STEM undergrad, you probably already have that. Princeton is also a lot more open to experienced candidates than MIT, which seems to go after folks straight out of undergrad often from foreign universities.
The MBA is 2-3 times easier to get into than the MFin
It's really almost two different classes of people.
If you are more than two years out of undergrad, it's probably easier to get into MIT Sloan's MBA program. If you have the extra $65K and extra year, it may also be better for your career.
MIT MBA v. MFin (Originally Posted: 07/09/2013)
I'm assuming the MFin is the harder program to get into? I'm contemplating the MBA with finance specialization program that MIT offers. Any idea how well they place into investment banks?
MFin from MIT has PHENOMENAL placement. And on the plus side, it's not as 'impossible to get into' like Princeton's MFin program. Good luck paying financing your tuition though... it's astronomically high/expensive
MBA =/= MSF.
MIT MSF =/= Princeton MFin
