Need Advice. MSF Programs for Career Transition?

Here's the situation. I graduated last year from undergrad with a finance background but decided to work on a startup after graduating. However, I'm realizing this is not something I want to do anymore and want to switch back to finance.

Is applying for a MSF program a good way to get back on track into finance? Am I bit too behind? I have about 1.5 years of work experience in startups after graduating from college last year.

What kind of "finance"? Corp? Just start applying. IBD? MSF might be a better way, but there are never any certainties.

What MSFs are you looking at? Do you have the background for acceptance?

I'll do what I can to help ya'll. But, the game's out there, and it's play or get played.
