Which MSF programs should I apply to?

Hello all,

I just finished taking my GMAT exam and scored a 580. I am looking to get into an MSF program in the northeast near a city like NYC, DC, Boston, ect. My undergraduate GPA is a 3.5 and I have 2 internships thus far (graduating in May 2013). Now I need to establish which business schools are in my range. So far I have been looking at MSF programs for Villanova, JHU, American U, Pace, Fairfield, Brandeis, and Fordham.

Any knowledge about these programs or additional ones I should look into is welcome.

Thank you

I believe TNA is the SME on this. You should check out his site. www.msfhq.com --- This contains links to most of the programs out there and should give you a good idea as to where you may wish to apply upon graduation.

In the mean time, have you considered spending your free time your final year in UG to study and retake the GMAT again? Couldn't hurt to maximize your score to maximize your options for MSF programs.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
