Msc Finance chances at top universities

Hi all,

I am interested in enrolling in a masters in finance program at top universities only (MIT, LBS, Oxford, Princeton) otherwise i will just take the return offer at my firm and start a full time role right away in corporate banking

I come from a top university in Asia. Degree: Accounting GPA: 3.7X/4 Finance & math related courses - 4.0/4.0 GMAT/GRE: Yet to take Internships: equity research and corporate banking

Do i stand a shot at the listed universities above?

Will going to the UK universities be any different from US universities in terms of placements and if I am indifferent to working in either EU or US?

My goal would be to leverage on this masters to get a good placement in AM/research.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reassurance. I am merely doing my preliminary research on Msc Fin so no expectations for GMAT yet...

Do you think that it is more worthwhile to study Msc fin in UK instead of the US? Since UK has significantly cheaper school fees and placement from top schools in both countries are similar anyway? I am indifferent to working in either country.
