Hey Abhinav_1696 , Well majority of the top programs for Finance are in France while a selection of top schools are in US, UK, Spain as well. So a few pointers to keep in mind while selecting schools: - Getting a work visa is directly linked to your job prospects, hence prefer to choose countries with flexible Visa and Immigration laws - Being an international applicant, it is better to go for the top 5-10 schools of your target country I will be able to help you out with more country and school suggestions if I have more details about your profile.You can take this profile evaluation so that I can share an in-depth analysis: https://mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf

Hello Abhinav_1696 Selection of countries should be personal choice. However, best schools are in US a let's say in UK and some other parts of Europe. At the same time those are most developed Financial markets, although China/Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia do catch up. For US, best schools for Finance would be, Berkeley, Columbia, NYU, Booth, Wharton, MIT, CMU, etc. For UK, I would check LBS, LSE, Imperial, Oxford. For rest of EU, I would suggest HEC, EDHEC, University of St Gallen,Bocconi, IE Business School. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-in-europ ... l#p2181213 For Canada it would be Rotman. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-in-canad ... l#p2174726 For APAC I would check Melbourne Business School, National Univ of Singapore and HKUST. https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-in-asia- ... l#p2189456 Visit the websites of those schools and check their MS in Finance programs and admission information. Good Luck

Hi  Abhinav_1696

There are excellent Master in Finance programs in the US, Europe, and Singapore as well. Where you would want to go would depend on your preferences (geography/ranking/post-Master career goals). Have you taken the GRE/GMAT yet?

Too vague. What school in India? What was your ranking in class or GPA? Where do you work? Where are you looking to go to school?

Hi  Saprakash ,

Thanks for your query.

Curious to know why you aren't retaking the GRE. While you may consider applying to these schools, you should ideally retake the test; you have a strong profile - complete with leadership experience, a stint with a Big 4 firm, and meaningful extra-curricular activities; frankly, your existing score does not do justice to the same.

All the best!
