Also interested in this, waiting for Ant to PM me back... :)
mrchimp, check PM
Round it to a 3.2, make sure your resume looks tight and have a nice package. You have good odds of getting admitted to both.
@Glory - I will try and reply today. Jammed up with a lot of other thigns, but I have read your PM.
Great, no rush...thanks again.
What is your citizenship status, would you need to be sponsored to work after an MSF or are you looking to work outside of the US? The job market is so tough for US citizen as it is and from what I've seen this year its been next to impossible for foreign MSF students to land anything outside of a couple spots at Big 4.
remove these and apply to normal programs - in Vanderbilt Olin, JHU, GWU
Without more information its a little tough to give an accurate assessment of your candidacy, but judging by resumes I've seen for MSFs you look like you'll squeak by if you're able to write something compelling. The real issue you'll have and should be preparing to conquer will be OCR / networking issues out of whatever MSF you get into. Yes, you may be able to "get in" but when you're recruiting alongside your peers or UGs you'll get smoked by those that came prepared and then doing that MSF will basically be a huge money suck.
This.
From the start of my MSF (early/mid summer) up until a couple weeks ago when I got a couple offers it has been pretty much an un-fun, sleep deprived, stressful experience... Don't get me wrong - I love the school where I am, classes/profs have all been very good, and I try to pretend I'm still living the undergrad life a couple nights a month... but I decided to go 200% non-stop until I secured my desired position at a solid firm. This meant non-stop networking/company research/job searching/applying/interview prep all while acing every class so I could put a 4.0 on the resume and doing some ECs as well.
I'm sure I could have scaled it back a little, but I wasn't about to waste my one and only shot at OCR, end up without an offer, and have a nice pile of loans hanging over my head. This wasn't directed at you OP, I just wanted to agree with BepBep and reinforce his point with a personal story.
I think that it's hard to get in solid firms but how about the others, just pick one and gain some exps.
Thank TNA. and Marcus2012. But JHU only have class at night.
JHU is staring a FT, day MSF from what I hear.
If you want me to look at your profile a little closer, PM me and I will give you my email to send me your resume.
