Msf Guidance
Hi guys,
I'm coming out of a big 4 target/otherwise semi/non target school. Majored in business administration(no finance major) with an emphasis in finance(took corp fin, derivatives, investments courses). FT recruiting didn't go well due to lack of opportunity, so I'm planning on applying to msf programs to hopefully jump into ER/Investment Management down the road.
My stats are:
3.4 overall/3.5 Major GPA
720 GMAT (I'll put up Q/V breakdown asap)
Passed Level 1 of CFA®this past June
I've got about a year of experience in commercial real estate investments, however it doesn't have much to do with finance.
I also plan to continue pursuing the CFA®charter. What are my realistic options here? I was hoping for CMC, but I honestly don't know what to expect. Would love some feedback.
Oh also, I interned at an investment management firm conducting equity research,and an M&A advisory, both boutique firms
Hey man, current WUSTL MSF here, feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I think that you'll have a lot of great options.
I think you're in at CMC with some scholly with those stats.
@"proxafin" Thanks for the offer, man. I'll shoot you a PM soon.
@"TNA" Much appreciated! Cool if I PM you some more Q's if I have any?
I think you're most likely in at cmc. I got in with a very similar background (740 GMAT, 3.4 overall at a complete non target, passed CFA level I exam, 3 years experience in CRE).
Mind if I PM you to get some more info about the program at CMC?
I know a good chunk of this year's CMC class and baring something unforseen you'd be admitted.
I'm a senior at a tier-two school, BBA-marketing. 3.0 overall GPA and 3.4 major GPA. It'll increase; I still have 2 more semesters to go. I have sales experience. Interned at a major NPO. Taking the GRE and GMAT soon. Aiming for a 700-720. I want to switch my career focus to finance. I know many MSF programs encourage non finance backgrounds to apply. Can you guys recommend what schools I should look into?
Awesome. Appreciate the help.
I'm also looking at:
MIT WUSTL USC Vanderbilt
Just trying to get an idea of where I should be aiming. West coast is where I would ideally want to be, so CMC and USC would be great. What do you think about my chances at these schools?
Not sure if the comment was directed to me but...sure feel free to shoot me a PM
@MokeAnalyst: Not sure if you were asking me to PM you or BananaHoarder, but either way I will PM you- I'm looking for all the advice I can before I start applying to MSF programs!
@DesiGirl sent you a PM
@BananaHoarder I think you've got a great shot at CMC. I'm part of the CMC MSF '15 class, and I know plenty of my classmates with stats like yours or even a bit worse. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any more questions.
Hi guys,I would like to pursue a masters in financial engineering or computational finance.What can I do to increase my chances to get into top programs in the US(i'm a US citizen as well)
-Currently in my last year of my 3 year finance-banking undergrad program my speculative GPA might be around 3.6-3.7 if not more. -No internships -No work experience -Planning on doing some volunteer work.
