feyenance
650 GMAT (only able to study for 10 days)
3.8 GPA finance/economics
D1 athlete
Small accounting internship (never had time for work b/c of athletics)
Non-target state school
I'm graduating in 3 years and I made a really late decision to pursue a MSF. Therefore, I missed a lot of the earlier deadlines and had to settle with applying to Houston, Cincinatti, and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). All three schools accepted me, but I feel like I may have settled.
The two options I'm considering are:
1. Get a job for a year, study for the GMAT (aim for 680-700), and apply to the early rounds of better schools (Ut-Austin, Villanova, etc.)
2. Choose between the 3 schools
Are these 3 schools "good enough" or should I postpone my MSF for a year?
Hey dude,
I hear your question, but it's not one I can really answer outside of the context of knowing more about you, your life, your goals, your constraints, etc. It all depends on what you want to do, where you want to live, and so on.
Think of it this way - smaller regional schools can be fantastic, but you will be likely placed regionally. IF you want to go fro the big global jobs (and not everyone likes that) in major cities, then you may want to consider applying later.
I hope this helps,
Best,
JF
