I currently attend a non target public school in the northeast. I am majoring in finance and feel that I have competitive stats to get into a good grad program. GPA 3.65 Gmat 675. I was wondering if I hope to get a job in asset management is it worth getting an MSF or entering the workforce from undergrad? Overall I am looking to find out how good the job prospects out of an MSF are and what the chances are of landing an investment banking job from an top program.

GMAT of 675 ??
I think you would be better off working for a year to explore your options and if things are good, stick to the job 2-3 more years and then do an MBA and if the job prospects are not that good you could apply for a Masters program. In cotrast to Europe, where MSc Finance are respected, the US is more of an MBA society in which companies are used to recruit either MBAs or undergrads. This is not to say that a MSc Finance is a bad investment, its just to say that perhaphs there could be a smarter investment

Good stats and being a domestic student helps. I always suggest trying to land a good position out of undergrad, but if that fails a top MSF can open up a lot of doors. You also mention that you went to a non-target. If you do an MSF with a better alumni network that will also help you. If you decide to go do the MSF route look at schools that have a history of placing students in investment banking roles. Off the top of my head this includes Boston College, Villanova, UT Austin, Vanderbilt, Claremont, Duke MMS, WUSTL. Michigan MMS, Notre Dame MMS and Northwestern are also great options.
And while I agree with above regarding the USA being more MBA focused, the issue is getting a top MBA depends a lot on your work history and what you did before college. If it costs you $40-50K and a year in grad school to land a job in investment banking I think it is totally worth it. You'd see a ROI in a year or two considering the amount of money you made.
I also think you'd get offered scholarship money with your stats. Every MSF program fights over qualified students like yourself.
