MSF to change career

Hello everyone,

Just need a piece of advice regarding possible options for reversal direction of my career. My profile is quite poor: I am 4-year analyst in credit insurance company and broadly speaking this is far from financial field. GMAT - 680. My aim is to shift to m&a/due dilligence consulting. So currently I am looking for msf programs for candidates with minimum experience to expand my financial skills and to get desirable placement. However I don't see much options here as I understand that I am not suitable candidate for top programs.

The thing that makes everything much more complicated is that my undergraduate gpa is extremly low (2.7, major - business administration). Morover, I am 28 y.o. whereas average age for the most of msf programs is 22-24.

I checked FT msf rankings and identified the only one suitable program for me - University of Amsterdam MsF. So I think I should take into account not only post experience programs and it is better to look at tier-2/3 msf progrmas but which of them could really strengthen my profile and will be helpful in my situation?
