Hi
I just cleared my CFA Level 3 and was hoping to apply to MBA programs in US, but the program cost in USD is a big concern for me. (How I wish there were a gold standard in currency), so I'm inclined to pursue a MSF degree instead.
My goal is to take up a job outside India (US/Singapore/HK/London) after the program is over since opportunities in India seem pretty limited.
1. Is it a good idea to go for MSF or go for an expensive MBA ? (I'm pretty sure I want to stay in Finance during my lifetime)
2. What schools should I target with the following profile (Is MIT Sloan possible?):
a. 740 GMAT
b. CFA Level 3 Cleared
c. Total 3 Yrs of Work Exp with Deutsche and Fidelity Investments
d. Engineering Degree from Topmost Engineering Colg in India with >3 GPA (Haven't calculated exact since grading system is different)
e. FRM Level 1 Cleared
Any help is appreciated. Peace

Do the MBA. While you'll same some money with an MSF, you'll also forego earnings from a summer associate gig which will bring the total MBA cost down substantially. You have a great profile and I think you could probably get scholarship money from some of the good, but not great MBA programs.
