MSF at UF - Will it help with IB placement at BB?

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking to enroll in the 2-year MSF program at the University of Florida and am seeking advice on my career path. I have been considering a career in investment banking and am wondering if completing the MSF program paired with some internships will be sufficient in securing a placement at a bulge bracket firm.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Would completing the MSF program at UF provide a strong foundation for a career in investment banking at a bulge bracket firm, or would it be better for me to consider transferring to a target school or pursuing a specialized finance program?

I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice you may have on this subject. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Best regards, Ansh
