Hello! My name is Jefferey. I am a U.S citizen living in Seoul and searching for MSF in US. I plan to apply for SMU COX MSF in the fall of 2020. Did anyone graduate from it? I have heard that this program requires strong quantitative skills like math and statistics. I majored in psychology. I took GMAT twice, 690 and 720. I have no basic knowledge in those subjects.
Is the SMU' COX curriculum very difficult? What is the graduation rate?
What is the GPA for students completing the study? I have heard that many students got C for the final grade. I am afraid that it is very hard to graduate and obtain the degree. And I have heard that many recruiters are concerned about GPA below 3.5.
I want to look for jobs in Dallas and Houston area.
Please provide me with some information and advice, thanks!

My suggestion would be to take a deep breath and do a little research.

Scroll down, the 2019 class profile is right there.
Your GMAT is well above their class average. They accept people with non-business backgrounds. You should probably have taken SOME math un undergrad though. What is your GPA, your work experience,etc.
The program is good, not exceptional. SMU is a great school for the Dallas market and you'll find plenty of alumni in Texas. I'd consider UT Austin to be the best program in Texas, with SMU a close second. The program historically places a lot of people into F500 (American Airlines) as well as local IB and other banking placements. A lot will depend on your networking, internships and how you do in the program.
The rest of your questions are subjective and dependent on the student.

Thank you so much for your response! I looked at the class profile before. But I am worry about after I admit to the program, whether it will be hard for me to graduate.
My overall GPA is 3.5. Core GPA is 3.8. In fact, I had no work experience and internship in finance so far. I only do intern for psychology. (clinical psychology)
I did have basic knowledge in math, but not much. So I am worrying about not being able to graduate in the end
The curriculum is intensive because I will have to complete 30 credit hours in just 9 months. (a total of 15 subjects)The website also says that one class is hold 3 hours. (2 credit for 3 hours) This means I will have to be in the classroom for 24 hours a week(16 credit in the spring semester). So I also concern about not being able to do an intern for such an intense schedule.
Again, I really appreciate your help and advice!
