Hi Guys, I want to apply for MSF in US next year. Would you mind to take a look on my profile?
Age: 25
GMAT: 650 (Q:48, V:31)
GPA: 3.2/4.0
Work Experience: 3 years in the in-house investment department of a commercial company
CFA: Passed all 3 levels, and would probably be chartered next year
Target School: 1st: UIUC; 2nd: Boston College
Is it too risky to aim this two schools? Or should i retake the GMAT?
Thank you so much for your help.

CFA is great, as is the amount of work experience you have. I do think a number of better MSF programs would guide you to their MBA programs since you will have enough experience.
IMO - BC is a good PT option assuming you are local. I wouldn't do a FT MSF with your experience and the CFA. If you aren't near a good part time option, consider Georgetown. Otherwise, work on improving your GMAT and do an MBA program. Assuming you can up your verbal, you'd be competitive for T25 programs. You would get a better ROI with that approach.

Hi nosaejohn,
A pretty good profile I must say - GPA is decent, CFA is pretty good and work ex looks good as well , though it would have helped if you mentioned the company names.
I would suggest you to see if you can notch up your GMAT score by 30-40 points - Not only will it help you for your current target schools, but you will be able to apply to more competitive schools with a better GMAT score . Since the rest of your profile is fairly good and you have time in hand before the application , I would suggest a retake.
Illinois would be upper competitive for you, Boston is more achievable. However, I would suggest you to apply to at least 4-6 schools- Divide them into dream,competitive and safe to stand the chance of getting into one of the top MSF Programs.
Also, like I mentioned I think you can apply to more competitive programs as well - So I would suggest you to take up a free profile evaluation so that I can get more details and guide you on the school suggestions part.
