MSF Students in Career Search: Experiences?

I am currently in Villanova's MSF program and am very disappointed with the reception I am getting from recruiters.

The program has given us mentors and professional development courses but has not done too much as far as career search help (the school caters mainly to undergrads and full-time graduate programs are new to the school). As a result, we have been directed to apply for the same positions as undergraduates.

Either because the degree is not well known or because a preconceived notion of a large salary premium for Master's students exists, a good number of my classmates and myself have been turned down for interview after interview. I have experience in my desired field and a very high GPA from undergrad so I don't think that's the issue. It seems we're stuck in the middle between undergrads and MBAs with few companies willing to help us find our place or give us a chance.

A lot of the big companies will be done interviewing on campus shortly for their analyst programs, leaving the rest of us to fend against experienced candidates for specific positions come spring.

I was wondering if anyone here who has graduated with a MSF would be able to share their experiences in the recruiting process and any tips they could offer.
