Re: Need Your Advice for my MSF plan please [#permalink]
I believe MIT is a notch above the rest. The rest are all very good as per my limited knowledge. You may consider asking on Wall Street Oasis (google it) forum to get more targeted advice. You can also consider Univ of Virgnia Masters in Commerce as another option. There is a website called MSFHQ.com. It has information that is useful to you.

1) GPA is fine. Go with whatever GPA your final university has on their transcripts. You want what your resume represents to match what is on your transcripts.

2) You have a lot of EC's and honors is good. Assuming you get a good GMAT (650 or above) I see you getting into a variety of MSF programs.

3) You have a green card and that will be a big benefit. Requiring sponsorship is a hurdle that is tough for many.

I would advise to temper your career goals or at least research them more. No one "compromises" for PE/VC. Banking is usually the path before those careers and IB is difficult to break into. I would suggest reading up on the industry and learning exactly what investment banking does and entails. It will help you when you network and get interviews.

Also, have a back up. Not everyone gets banking, but there are a ton of jobs with similar skill sets. If banking is your goal make sure you have those back ups that will help you eventually get that job. Think valuation groups, corporate banking, stuff like that. Also, realize that your current network is west coast focused. You'll be brand new on the east coast. You might want to look at Claremont, USC, UC Santa Barbara, etc. All good, WC schools.
