Was planning to change domains to finance and was hoping to gain an evaluation of my profile for some of the top programs like: MIT M.Fin, Princeton M.Fin, CMU MSCF, LSE 2 year M.Fin, Baruch. Please feel free to suggest some other courses I can safely apply to. And how can I make my application strong??
Hello
sdfsadBeing a female is going to be your advantage from diversification point of view.
GRE Quant is what is important and 169 is really no different from 170, congrats on that.
Your undergraduate GPA is fine, getting 99 percentile on CAT is certainly helpful.
Teaching experience in CS, Math and English will count.
There are no safe choices when you target only top MS in Finance programs, like you do.
You have a great list there, I would add :
Berkeley
Columbia
Stern
MIT
And few less competitive:
Georgia Institute of Technology
Boston University
North Carolina State University
Rutgers University
Johns Hopkins University
Good Luck with application !
