HI guys, I really need your advice right now
Im currently a senior college student. Finance major
Im gonna take GMAT this December, goal is 690-700
I will graduate in May 2011, and I plan to apply for MSF Programs right after that, meaning Im gonna start the application this Winter 2010 (November-Jan)
My GPA will be around 3.8. Internship in Finance (Banking): less than 1 year.
I can only can afford 20 000 a year. So a scholarship is a must :(
Can you give me suggestions of good schools (job placement) for MSF?
I think I will apply for 6-8 uni/colleges in U.S.!! (not UK)

Good List...But to be frank, people should alway look at the profile of the current and existing students. For example .. LBS, LSE have admit very high profiled individuals from the industry.. so work ex is extremely important. In fact, you stand very little chance even with a 700+ score, if you do not have relevant and about 5-6 years of work ex.

hi,

i must commend the work done by you in this post. i have very recently joined my 1st forum on GMAT. as i suppose time has come for me to start preparing for the same.
i had following apprehensions :
1. do embassies provide info. regarding MBA or MS in thir respective countries. i am interested for UK and US.
2. after a job experience of 2 good years. which is better course in a good college : MS in finance or marketing / 1yr.
MBA which requires job exp.
thanks

LBS is the only school you mentioned that asks for work experience. Other top schools , like LSE, Said, Hec, Imperial, Warwick do not require WE and the average age for their incoming class is usually 23 with 1 or less years of work experience.

LBS is looking for candidates with at least 4-5 years of Work experience. There are other great programs that dont require WE.
For instance, Said`s MS in Financial economics , or maybe Imperial`ls Ms Finance and LSE`s Ms Finance :)

Can someone give any idea about MSc in Finance in Canada?

UofT, Schulich, Ivey... these are like the top schools. But I'm actually looking for the universities in the next tier?

Is there any one from Uni of McMaster of Uni of Saskatchewan?

Thanks,

hi guys,
well i am trying for a MS in finance.
well my profile is good except for the gpa part in coll, which is a meager 6.34/10 but my college was very good i.e IIT Madras(B-tech in Materials science).
My Gmat score is 700, and i may retake it(aiming at least 750).
I have very good extra co-curr.. and even have start-up to my credit.
I have won a lot of scholarships and
I had a minor in social entrepreneurship and innovation in my grads, in which i performed very well.
I am targeting oxford ms in fe, Imperial MS in fin, Cambridge and Hec Paris MS fin.
My worry is that, will my gpa cause a major damage?? or over all my profile will stand the selection storm??. well hoping som of you guys will gimme some insight about this, any tips on how to make this look not a very major flaw in the profile?? chances?? any experience to share??

regards,
Dawn

Hi dawndon, how did your applications go? I have a similar profile (good GMAT and extracurriculars but bad GPA) and finally got into Imperial's Msc Finance, which I will start this fall.
I did not apply to Oxbridge or HEC (I applied to IE, St Gallen and Warwick instead) but I am curious on whether you got accepted there.

hi all,

Anyone know if UNSW MFin is any good? I doubt many people here are aiming for this place, but thought I would like to try my chances.

Also, in term of reputations, how does Warwick, Cass and Imperial viewed internationally? Especially in Asia. Do they carry a strong brand power in Asia compared to places like LSE?

Can anyone suggest which university should i apply for MSF, so that even if i come back to india after 3-4 years of experience, i get not the same but a similar job opportunity(apart from ivy league).
Sorry for asking such a niche question but any suggestion would be of great help.

The school is respected and well known in the states. The MSF program has been around for a long time know and has a history of placements. I would consider it a good school. I believe it is STEM certified now.
