I recently interviewed for Duke's MMS, but I'm far from an expert on admittance. From my perception throughout the application process, they seem to like applicants with clear goals, a teamwork attitude, and many extra-curriculurs. There application includes many essays beyond just the typical personal statement (i.e. "25 random things about yourself") Of course GPA and GMAT are determining factors as well, though they don't seem to weigh as heavily as a strong desire to contribute to the school and be a team player within the Fuqua network. From your profile, I think you have a good chance of being admitted. You should ask yourself if the program will really help you achieve your goals though. Something that the interviewer told me is that sometimes people in the program who were business majors in undergraduate don't find the depth that they were looking for. Despite this, they seem to place well in many consulting firms. Their employment information can be found online.
stop posting shit twice.

Only apply to UTA, Vandy, Duke, and Minnesota. Don't bother with more schools. If you can afford WUSTL(no scholarship money), then also apply there. But Minnesota program will be enough for Midwest, especially Minneapolis banking, it's like a Harvard there. You're a finance major, so I don't think you'll get much out of Duke, but you'll get the brand name and 1 amazing year plus the network and new friends and extra-curriculars. If you want to drop 41-45k for just that, then be my guest. But you'll get whatever you want if you do well in the program, and network, and not just be a lazy bum, regardless of which program you attend. So yes, I would add Minnesota and drop the rest. Kellogg is not possible since they don't want business undergrads.
UTA= University of Texas-Arlington. It's just UT
UTA= University of Texas - Austin
Interlude12 just stop it dude, no one calls UT-Austin "UTA", it is simply UT.
Wow, what's wrong with you? Its not set in stone. UTA could mean both
dumb comment. it's even worse than before
My only advice to you is to refrain from saying this on any of your MSF interviews. It shows a lack of clarity and understanding.
Also, I would forget about applying to Miami and JHU altogether. They aren't worth your time and they're definitely not worth your money. JHU is a good school, but not for business. Baltimore is a disaster. There's Legg Mason, TRP and that's it. Literally a dead city.

MSf can't save your life, Don't tell me UF isn't enough for a job. Otherwise no MSF will take you. If you don't like what I say, i will just end with the note Good Luck when you keep screwing yourself at $45k per year.
Goals --> CEO ... haha this is rich stuff
.
Don't you think it sounds a bit clownish to say your goal is CEO (which gives no indication of which industry you're looking to work in or what you're passionate about) and then say you'll start out in investment banking (very difficult to break into) or whatever the "best" job you can get. It just sounds like you're dropping buzz words and have no clue what you're talking about.
Also, what is the selection committee of your fraternity? Is that a rush chair?
Why don't you talk to Kelly and try and do the UF MSF program. Amazing placements. With your stats I suggest you apply to Vanderbilt and maybe UTA. You'll get into Vandy.
UF MBA isn't a network upgrade. But frankly, it's not like a MSF makes people drag you into IB! Everybody does the same tiresome amount of networking and recruiting prep like those undergrads.
It is the UF MSF, not MBA. Their MSF program has incredible placements, primarily because the career and admissions office is strict with networking and placing you with a mentor. They only accept UF undergrads. Their placements are on par with all the top programs.
