Need inputs on MSF programs (regarding work experience)

Hey neelchavan


To begin with, I would like to clarify your doubts regarding the work ex tenure. There are no limitations on the work experience required for a specialized master’s in Finance which is why your experience of 2+ years wouldn’t really play to your disadvantage here. In fact, since schools look for candidates with relevant work ex. in Finance, I’d say that you’ve covered both the aspects - weighted work experience and a good brand.
Now, moving on to your profile, honestly, I would require more details to be in a position to accurately comment on your profile, nevertheless, judging through the details you’ve provided, I can say that you have a pretty decent profile. However, grades alone play no sole role in acceptance as extracurriculars these days are given equal importance. Since you’ve not provided details for the same, if you’ve not brushed upon this part of your profile I’d suggest you buckle up and begin work on this.

Moving on to the GRE score, every school has a different requirement, which is why you must aim for a score as higher as possible. The sky’s the limit! Getting a great score would just open up more doors of wondrous opportunities for you. A 320+ score is something you should be aiming for since your GPA is on the lower end.

For the schools that you’ve mentioned, I’ll categorize them under dream, competitive and safe, so that you get a better understanding of the schools to target
Dream: NYU Stern, TAMU
Competitive: WUSTL, Simon, McGill, Schulich (York), Rotman

Apart from this, with a 320+ GRE score, you can also target Babson, UT Dallas, Rutgers, University of Buffalo, Georgetown and SFU Beedie.
