Please give me a profile Eval for MIT MFin:
3.8 GPA Economics from Top 20 US Undergrad (Math Courses: Statistics = A, Calc I = A, Calc II = A)
3.3 GPA in MAcc at Top 20 School
Internships at Boutique Investment Banking Firm, Big 4 financial advisory, Venture Capital Firm, and BB Wealth Management all in NYC.
GRE: 161 V/160 Q - willing to retake as I did not study enough the first time I took it.
By the time I enter program - may have one year at top firm in equity research or something similar.
Goal - to get into an elite M&A IB Analyst program.
As crazy as this sounds, I also potentially may consider a JD/MBA at top school in the future for more general management/strategy.
Thoughts?
I think you have a very good shot at getting into MIT. I also don't think you need the MIT MSF to get an M&A analyst position at a BB/EB firm. You went to a top 20 UG school, have plenty of relevant internships, should be able to land interviews with a little networking.
You should take a look at Vanderbilt's MSF/JD program. They place well into BB/EB firms in M&A. You can do the JD now and save a year. Might be a decent back up option, IMO.
