Delay Graduation or MSF for IB
I didn't have my shit together in high school and early college. Definitely a late bloomer.
4th year Accounting student from small non-target (literally 1 MM IB alumni) with a 3.5 GPA, 3.8 Major, (large upward trend) consulting club president, BAP, and experience in sales, marketing manager, starting a business, and big 4 this summer.
I want to get into IB. I don't care if its a boutique at first, but my goal is hopefully a MM. I've been on the CPA track with an upcoming big 4 internship and a 5th year at the same school to get my credits for CPA, adding a finance double major.
Is it worth doing the GMAT, paying $50k, and applying in the 4th round to a target MSF with my stats? Or is it feasible to use this 5th year at my non-target to network my ass off and try to get mid-year internship + recruit for FT at a MM or boutique? (I can spin it as delaying grad for CPA) I can also just graduate, work a year in something related, and apply early to MSF. Idk if that'd help at all.
Btw its my birthday today.
Happy birthday!
If I were in your shoes and I had the money to extend AND pursue an MSF, I'd try the extension first but have the MSF as a backup. You can always fall back on the MSF if you fail this year. If you succeed and you get into banking this year, you will have likely taken the GMAT and can save the score to apply to bschool in 5 years.
