Which programs are you planning to apply to ? Do you want to focus on Corp Finance or Financial Engineering (Quant) ?

I want to focus on corp finance. I am still thinking whether to retake the gmat or apply to 2-3 schools. I dont think there are any good schools in my gmat score range.

I am planning to apply to Duke MMS and University of Florida MSF but i need advice from you guys on which schools i should consider.

U of F has a decent program. I am not sure why you want to apply to Duke MMS if you want to specialize in corp finance. U of Illinois has a decent MS finance program and their placement within the Chicago area is excellent. You can also look Washington U (Olin).


Good luck with your applications, let me know if you have any questions

Olin has an average gmat score of 690.

U of Illinois have 85+% international students & i have heard from a number of guys that because of this reason, the placements at this school are particularly weak. Also, I have to wait till fall 2012 to start my course.

I have shortlisted Duke MMS as:

1) Brand name
2) Good Placements
3) Within my reach

I have so far decided only 2 schools

1) University of Florida MSF
2) Duke MMS

Guys, Please suggest some other schools for MSF starting fall 2011.
