Hi guys. I am new to this site. I want some advice on my school applications for MSF program and career transition from accounting to finance.
Background:
- GPA 3.5, Major in Accounting, graduated from one of the Big 10 schools
- GMAT 690
- 1 Fortune 500 Internship
- 3 years working experience in corporate accounting in entertainment industry at west coast
- passed CPA exams
- International student/temporary worker
I do not have any finance background nor public accounting experience. So I want to break in finance industry via MSF program. The schools that I am currently applying for are:
Boston College, Villanova, Vanderbilt, Brandeis, Fordham
Am I possible to get in any of these programs? Do I need to study some of the WSO modeling classes before I get into the program?
In regards of career, I am thinking about transiting my career from accounting to finance, preferably to IB - Mergers & Acquisitions. Is it possible? I hope I am not just day dreaming it. Thanks!
Why an MSF? I feel like you could get into some decent MBA programs with this profile. Either way, forget Brandies and Fordham. You'll get into Nova, most likely Vandy and BC also. You have a good GPA and GMAT. The work experience is a plus. CPA looks nice.
Hi TNA. Thank you for your reply. The reason why I chose MSF is that the courses are more focused on finance and the program lasts only for one year. Since I only need a career transition instead of being promoted as a manager, the MSF program is the best choice and the quickest way for me to break into the finance industry. And I also have Visa restraint, so I need to go back to work asap after I graduate. Do you think that I need to take some of the WSO training courses before I get into the program? Thanks!
And also, what are the other decent MSF programs besides Nova on the east coast? Thanks!

MIT has the best. I believe WUSTL has a good program as well.
