[quote="msfin2018"]Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know does it makes sense for profile like me to got for MS Finance or should wait for 2 more years and go for MBA as avg salaries difference is as huge as almost double in these 2 programs in general[quote="msfin2018"]Hi,

Hi there,
This is a tough one to answer buddy ! You'll have to look into your career goals to answer that. Plus i'm not really sure if the average salary gap is of 100%. CMU Tepper's MSCF program has average salary of $95,000 which is at max 10% less than average MBA salaries.
You can always do an MBA after graduating from Mfin and working a couple of years in the US. But it's hard to opine and completely circumstantial decision. Happy Thinking !

Best,

I will actually answer the question you asked.

GRE - converts to about a 610 GMAT
GPA - below 3.0

Two years experience is nice, but it will be discounted some since you have an MBA and are looking to do another masters.

STEM MSF programs at a low cost.

UMaryland has a new STEM program
Loyola Chicago is STEM (and cheap)
Tulane is STEM
Bentley
Syracuse
Babson
UBuffalo
Cincinnati

With your stats, I would say you should be competitive with a handful of the programs. Your scores are pretty low, to be honest, but I think you could get into say UBuffalo. That is a pretty cheap state school. Cincy is as well (although might be harder to get into).

Hope this helps.
