Hey there,
I am an Italian guy with a bachelor from a top european BS. Speak 5 languages, of which intermediate mandarin. Currently working in a VC fund in Italy but thinking of doing a MS in Finance next year, somewhere other than Europe.
Took my Gmat today, got 720. I have some amazing ref letters and good international work experience.
I am now sending applications to top BSs but I'd like a recommendation because not many Universities do Ms in finance, they only offer MBAs with 2 year of work experience required.
Here my questions.
Would you go to the US, or China? Both amazing markets with huge salary opportunities but its hard to get visas..
Or to Canada or singapore? good economies but not as good of business schools?
I am pretty confident about getting into the top programs in Asia/China. But how likely it is for my profile in entering an ivy league?
There is an amazing master at columbia but is 720 enough?
Thanks' yall[you-tube][you-tube][/you-tube][/you-tube]

Congratulations on getting a 720! I think you have a great score to stand a chance at the top business schools in the US. and i would personally prefer US schools over the chinese and the singaporean, that being said, there are lot of differences that go beyond just business schools, you have to do some extensive research about the differing cultures, life after the bscools, work cultures and norms etc. In canada, rotman ranks the top most in finance, thats a nice option to consider. McCombs and USC are also great options in the US for ms finance Goodluck
