Hi,
Your schools selection looks decent. However, before you apply you must decide about whether you want to go in for the MBA or the MSc. Although with the advent of the 2+2 option, both the alternatives look similar, they are very different. If it is a focused career in Finance you are looking for, I would suggest looking at focused courses in Finance (at Stern, Haas, CMU, UIUC, LBS). They would also give you a good position at a hedge fund.
That said, if it is the MBA you want to pursue, then the strategy of taking a shot now and then failing that working for 3-4 years before taking a second shot seems decent.

Hi
I am quite sure about the MBA. I was considering the Finance courses in case i dont get into the 2+2 programs so that i can get a basic understanding in the field which will allow me to work in a relevant company before i apply for the MBA again.
Also, i am glad the school selection appears achievable. I know that the ones that i am applying to are extremely tough to get into, but i thought it was worth a shot.
1.I still want to know MBA wise, how good a chance do i stand(considering my college acads havent been top notch)
2. What other 2+2 or similar programs can i apply for?
3. I have had 9 months of work ex with internships, so can i take 2 recommendations from company execs or should i take one from a professor?
