Vanderbilt MSF Profile Evaluation Request

Hi everyone,
I'm an international student studying finance in an unknown institution. I want to apply for Vanderbilt to get access to the network, get the STEM extension for my OPT, and also because I really like the school.

Here's my profile:

Senior double majoring in Finance and Information Systems, GPA 4.0

Haven't taken the GMAT (talked to the admission people and heard that there is a possible waiver so I'm applying for it), on the most recent mock test I scored 660

Work experience: E-commerce intern for a small ecommerce service company (summer 2020), Finance intern for a nonprofit organization in DC (summer 2021)

Extracurricular:

President of an International Business club

Treasurer of the International Student Association

Finance committee of a business fraternity. I also mentor a member in the fraternity and compete during the national convention, winning 1st place in one of the categories

Equity Analyst for the Student Managed Portfolio (starting next school year)

Honor and Award: I won several scholarships from the university and my fraternity which helps cover 70% of my tuition

My biggest concern is the GMAT, which is lower than the average. Given that I came from an unknown school (out of top 200 National Uni), is it a good move to waive the GMAT? I want to really focus on the essays and recommendations to stand out. With that said, is anyone here an alum from Vanderbilt MSF program? What have you done in your essays that you think help you the most in your application?

You have a 4.0, good EC's and some work experience. If they will accept you waiving the GMAT, do it. The GMAT is used to asses if someone can handle the quantitative nature of the MSF. If you have a soft UG major or weak scores on math and stats the GMAT can help offset this. This isn't an issue for you.

IMO, schools need applicants and enrolled individuals right now. You have a very high chance of getting in, GMAT or no GMAT.

Also, I recently just thought about applying for MIT MFin program, just to shoot my shot. I explored on their page and saw that applicants have the options to apply without the GMAT. With that said, is it a good move to do so, or should I take the GMAT for MIT?
