MS Finance Profile evaluation - URGENT [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 03 Feb 2020, 07:54
Hey, guys
I am looking for your help to evaluate my profile.
I am currently searching for MS Finance (STEM) in the U.S.
My goal is to get a job in the U.S in fields related to investment such as IB, Consulting, Equity. Thats why Im looking for STEM programs.
I am from Brazil and have 2 years Internship experiences in an Investment brokerage firm and working in Itaú, the biggest private bank in LATAM, which I have a stunning recommendation letter from my manager the other being from a college professor.
For Undergrad I had a Dual degree in the State University of NY at New Paltz and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro(in Brazil), with a GPA of 3.75/4.0 in NY and 8.8/10 in Brazil, will be graduating magna cum laude.
Besides being from Brazil and living in the U.S for 2 years, I have also lived in Israel for 6 months, where I did a summer internship in a consulting for startups and did an entrepreneurship course in a college.
During Undergrad I work as TA in both colleges, teaching finance courses there.
I have also experience working at a non profit organization focused in education and leadership, where I had the role of Head of education and worked there for 5 years.
My GMAT score for now is 600, thinking about retaking it, but not sure

It would be great if you guys could suggest me some MSF schools that fit my profile, and my eligibility.
For now, I have already applied to:
TEXAS
UC Irvine
PURDUE (Interviewed and waiting for the response)
OHIO STATE
ARIZONA ST (Accepted)

Moreover, if I get accepted into all of them, which one do you guys prefer, especially in terms of employment for international students?

Considering your profile, your GPA and strong work ex, I don't think you should take the test again. 600 is good enough for your choices of schools, however; if you're considering scholarships, you might as well give it a shot if you have spare time.

Thank you so much for your feedback!!!

I am apprehensive for the results, and was concerned about my GMAT. even though I knew that my GPA and work experience can offset the GMAT.
Will then wait for the responses, and hopefully receive some good news.

Hi, I would agree that your GPA and profile are strong enough - Though I would not say that they can "offset" a low GMAT, but can certainly be a compensating factor if you have presented a strong application. If you are positive that you can improve your score by a minimum of 50-80 points, i would suggest a retake :)
