Villanova MSF is it worth it ?

Hey,

I applied very last minute to the MSF program and got in. Having second thoughts about going this cycle or wait till next year and try to get into a better school.

I had a 3.96 undergrad gpa as a civil engineering major. Work experience of about 1.5 years as a engineer and no finance experience. I also had my GMAT waived when I applied, thinking if I take the GMAT then I could get into a better school next year ?

My goal is to pivot into RE-IBD or REPE roles as engineering isn't interesting to me. Anyone have any information about how the program is, recruitment and future prospects ?
