Need advice - MSF/MBA profile evaluation
Hi everyone, I'm contemplating MSF or MBA programs right now but am not sure which is more suitable for my background:
Undergrad: Non-target w/ Economics degree; GPA: 3.8
GMAT: Scheduled for December
Work exp: 5 years total --- RA @ economics consulting firm and now working as an Analyst in the Legal dept. of an MBB
Goal: Interested in equity research or Asset Management
Essentially I am seeking a switch into finance and one of the reasons the MSF appeals to me is because it is more specialized than an MBA. However, I know that MSFs are more geared towards those with less work experience. With that said, will the number of years of work experience that I have make me a better candidate for an MBA? At the same time, I'm not sure if I have good enough work experience or extracurriculars to be able to get into a top MBA. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I would consider an MBA in your shoes. For extracurriculars, if you plan to apply next year, you have plenty of time to get involved in something meaningful.
CFA might be more helpful to get you into er as long as you're not intent on going to a BB, in which case you would want OCR. Otherwise, MBA > MSF.
@1000Talents, you mentioned that the CFA might be more helpful if I don't intend on going to a BB--is that because of my non-target undergrad, or because I've been out of school for a few years already?
@TwoThrones, thanks for your suggestion!
