MSF and work?

Hey guys, Looking for some help! Im graduating in december from a CT non target with a double major in Finance/Criminal justice; 3.2 GPA. I have no finance internships. I played division 1 baseball and had a short stinit in pro ball. Finishing up after this semester as I said.

SInce I am not that qualified (feel screwed), Im trying to figure out what to do next. I was thinking of trying to get into a MSF part timefor next year while I work, or just do it full time, and study for CFA I for next June. I have an operations job offer for when I graduate, and just feel a little lost lol.

Any help or guidance would help tremendously!

GPA isn't that low and your sports experience will cover for that GPA being lower. It is going to come down to your GMAT. You might look into a PT program if you are interested in working during the program. BC would be an ideal option.

Need a little more information to really get at the core of your question/problem.

 

PT is likely a screwing I warn you. The clssses are what gets you the degree, but people usually PT for a big reason. Your reason better is a good one.

So you recommend Just pushing through it for a year and I'll get more out of it?

Again depends on where you are going, hopefully substantially better than your undergrad tier - otherwise a master's is impossibly different...

Assuming it's a top national!! b school, then usually the intangible is usually overwhelming enough to do so.

You did pro ball so that means you can grind the work out. Now its time to throw them a fireproof evidence that you're smart like crazy. Finance has many incredibly smart workholics
