Hello
Based on your name you must be from some Slavic country.
Your GMAT score is awesome
and one of greatest strength in your profile.
Just based on that, you can apply virtually to any school, with great chances of being admitted.
Here it is recommendation list of best programs in Finance :
Princeton University
University of California, Berkeley
Baruch College, City University of New York
Carnegie Mellon University
Columbia University
New York University
Cornell University
MIT
UCLA
University of Chicago
Here are some less competitive but still great programs for Finance :
GTech
Boston University
Fordham University
North Carolina State University
University of Washington
Rutgers University
Just so you know, all Finance programs are very quantitative in nature
Good Luck with application !
Thank you for taking the time and replying to my message,
billionaire !
As for my ethnicity - you got it right
While identifying the top MS's in Finance in the US was not a big deal, compiling a list of less competitive but still great programs was a bit challenging. For instance, seeing Maryland University's MS in Finance ranked second best pre-experience MS in Finance in the US (if you sort Country column from Z to A) in the FT's 2018 ranking, was quite puzzling and confusing...
I had done my research before I wrote here, but decided to double check. It seems I have come up with a very similar list. Anyway, thank you very much! I was just thinking that top MS's in Finance have top-notch applicants and my GMAT is not enough to compensate for my weak sides, as GMAT's of my peers are in the comparable range.
I have just realized that some courses from my second bachelor's degree (which I am currently doing in Russia - don't ask me what for - I do not know myself :D ), do actually qualify as quantitative academic background (linear algebra, calculus, statistics, probability etc.) Do you think mentioning those and attaching a transcript of records might somehow help?
Thank you once again and have a nice day!
