Hello, I'm 21F in my junior year, and I'm applying to MSF programs for the class of 2026. I'm from a small town, and most of my professors are only experienced in MBA programs, so I've been struggling to find information about MSF programs.
I have a 3.82 GPA, a finance major, and a business analytics minor. I attend a non-target school with a reputable business program in my state, but I'm not sure it will help my application much in out-of-state schools, which I'm mostly applying to.
I work part-time as a finance intern for a local construction company during the school year and full-time during the summer, and I have done that for about a year. I will work for a mortgage firm as a finance intern next summer, but that will be after I submit my application, so I'm unsure if I can incorporate it. I also worked as a receptionist during my sophomore year, but it wasn't major-related.
As for school activities, I'm the finance director of a hospitality club, I was an orientation leader, I'm in a community service fraternity, and I'm a member of Beta Gamma Sigma (business honor society). Outside of school, I am a youth tennis coach.
I haven't taken my GMAT yet, but I'm not feeling confident about it; I think I will apply test optional to any schools that allow that.
The schools I'm looking at right now are Vanderbilt, Villanova, UT Austin, FSU, Ohio State, Tulane, Boston College, Georgetown, and SMU.
I want to go to graduate school to break into consulting or real estate finance. My ultimate goal is to become a professor and eventually go back to school. Any advice or suggestions on other schools I should consider would be greatly appreciated. I'm a first-gen college student, so I'm very new to this.

Hello, Tennislover1717
You have a strong finance GPA, which is great for your MSF applications. Even though your current school may not be well-known outside your state, its reputable business program will still help.
Your internships in finance at a construction company and upcoming ones at a mortgage firm show practical experience. You can mention the future internship in your application to highlight ongoing growth.
Your involvement in campus activities, such as being a finance director, orientation leader, and member of Beta Gamma Sigma, plus your community service and coaching, all demonstrate leadership and engagement.
If you're unsure about the GMAT, look into schools that allow you to apply without it. Your career goals in consulting or real estate finance are clear and ambitious, which is good for schools like Vanderbilt, Villanova, UT Austin, and others you're considering. You might also look into University of Rochester, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of Notre Dame.
Being a first-generation college student can strengthen your application, showing your determination and unique perspective. If this fits your story, make sure to mention it in your personal statement.
Focus on developing a strong application showcasing your achievements, experience, and goals. Reach out to current students or alumni for more insights into the MSF programs you're interested in. Good luck with your applications!
