MSF 2015

I can only tell you what we say on the admission committees I've sat on; but, here goes: First, if you just want to repeat the same coursework you did previously, there is nothing new you will learn so there is no reason to admit you and every reason to think you won't take the coursework seriously (which creates a bad culture among other students). Second, if you want to repeat the same coursework you did previously, then there must be something intangible about you that turns employers off -- because why would you repeat courses you've already taken unless your career is not going well? Third, if you just want to pick up more finance courses, then why did you not do that when you did your MBA; and, if you are that poor at thinking ahead to what might be useful, why would you make a good student?

Whether you think those questions are fair or not, they are the questions I have heard asked hundreds of times. For you to not get tripped up by those, you would need a compelling case for either (1) some epiphany about wanting to work in finance when you previously did not want to, or (2) filling out skills the MBA missed (usually quant skills) -- which is why I suggested an MSFE or computational finance program.
