MSF Brandeis ISB

Hi,
I have been offered admission for the MSF program at Brandeis ISB. I am an international student with 3 years experience in the supervisory cadre in the retail banking industry.
I would love to hear from all about the program and its success in securing employment for its graduates.

Bradeis MSF is probably the third best MSF after MIT and BC in the Boston area. Take what you want from that. Don't know much else about the program.

 

Sometimes the answer you need to hear isn't the one you want to hear. None of the programs you mentioned are going to improve your employment prospects (referencing only IB here).

nikopapafinThanks for your answer boy... My problem was my low gmat because i messed it up in verbal. Gmat 580 Q47 V23. I know that these schools cannot add prestige to my cv i would be glab if you could rank them based on your experience.

Hard for me to say, but I'll try.

(1) Fordham (2) Brandeis (3) Baruch (4) Pace

I'm omitting GW because it's a different program, but IMO it is the most "prestigious" university.

Admittedly this is pretty arbitrary as I don't know much about these programs.

Why don't you study harder and then re-take?

Because for this year the deadlines have passed and i don't want to wait one year more because in europe now things are very insecure. I 'm afraid of the euro corruption so i do not want to risk it. In practice tests i did better. All my scores were from 610 to 670 but i gave the actual test 2 times. tHE FIRST ONE WAS 560 Q46 V21 :( I was very dissapointed with my scores but as i said i cannot risk a change in the currency. What;s IMO;; (I m not american, so i can;t understand)

 

I think you could get into schools with a better name, not necessarily a "better" program. The ones you listed are not going to help you much. Shoot me a PM and we can talk offline.
