I'm a fifth-year student (21 years old) doing an M.Sc in Economics at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP, 6th rank in my home country of India). In my economics study, I took several finance-related courses. I'm considering applying to top MSF programs in the United States. While my profile is pretty standard when compared to other applications, I am still interested in knowing my possibilities at universities with my current profile, so any assistance is greatly welcomed.

GRE Score: 316 (150V, 166Q, AWA-3.5)
TOEFL score is 93.
GPA: 3.48/4.0 (8.2/10.0 on an Indian scale)
Secondary Education-99.2%.
1. A two-month summer internship in a modest financial services company.
2. Some projects on finance and online certifications
3. Currently in the final year Thesis on Finance under the supervision of the Finance Department Head at IIT KGP.

I require the most excellent possible placement following my graduation from university. Please indicate whether or not the universities listed below have a high percentage of placement.
I intend to apply for MS finance programs at the following universities:
Texas Austin
The University of Illinois Chicago, urbana champaign
Washington st Louis
Vanderbilt
Boston questrom
USC Marshall
What are my chances at the universities listed above? Please recommend two more universities based on my qualifications.
After graduation, I only need a solid job paying between 70,000 and 80,000 dollars.

👋 Hey riyanhrushi,

👇 Here is a detailed profile evaluation for you!

Strengths:
➡️ Academic Pedigree: IIT KGP provides a strong foundation and a solid brand name which top schools highly appreciate

➡️ Research: A thesis under the Finance Department Head is noteworthy, but try to showcase the impact you’ve made through that and mention the critical findings you made.

➡️ Secondary Education Score: A 3.48 GPA is highly impressive with a decent GRE score of 316.

➡️ Internships: Highlight and quantify your achievements during the internship.

➡️ Projects and Certifications: Highlight the relevance of your projects and how they go hand-in-hand with your short term and long term goals. You can also add certain certifications related to finance, thus showcasing your interest towards it.


Areas to Address:
➡️ GRE Score: Quantitative score is solid but verbal could be better. Make sure that your score could be better if you retake and aim for at least 325.


School Suggestions:
➡️ Based on your profile and ambitions, you have good chances at Vanderbilt, Foster, Illinois, Boston, Babson and Sunny Buffalo. For higher chances, consider applying to programs like Rutgers or Ohio State.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to set up a FREE call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.

I am at a crucial crossroads in my academic and professional journey and would appreciate your insights on the best path forward.
I have a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance (CGPA - 9.8/10) from the University of Mumbai and have completed the US CMA certification (score: 880/1000). Additionally, I have about a year of work experience in Real Estate Valuation. My GMAT Focus score is 565, and my IELTS score is 7.5.
My long-term goal is to build a career in Investment Banking, Private Equity, or Valuation. Initially, I would like to work in the USA or Canada (without a strong preference between the two), gain about five years of experience, and then transition to the UAE or Saudi Arabia, where I can earn a high paycheck.
Currently, I have an offer from UT Dallas for the MS Finance program, and I am awaiting decisions from Boston College (MS Finance), HEC Montreal (MS Finance), and ESSEC (Masters in Finance). I also received an offer from EDHEC for their MIM Finance program but declined it due to budget constraints, as I prefer to avoid significant debt and would only consider a manageable loan (around 15 Lakhs INR max) and my parents are ready to provide about 20 Lakhs for my education.
Given my situation, I was considering applying to Babson College's MS Finance program and, since Smith School of Business's Master in Management Finance program is closed this year, waiting until the next intake to apply.
However, I am unsure of the best course of action.
1. Should I move forward with additional applications, wait for the decisions I am expecting, or explore other options?
2. Based on my background and goals, what would you suggest as the best path forward and the best University?
3. I am open to any insights or recommendations you may have.

Thank You
