Hi, I'm an international student but have completed my undergrad in engineering from a TOP 20 US Eng school. I'm keen on pursuing my MSF in the US. I would like to know about my chances of getting into Vandy, URochester, Boston College, UTexas Austin, Washington University @ St.Louis and Villanova. Do you have any other school recommendation? The question also is concerned towards great placement post education & work sponsorship to international students. I know it is tough to get a work sponsorship but still want to pursue MSF in the US.
Will be applying in the first round for Fall 2017 admission.
My Profile: Age 24
BS. Material Eng from Top 20 US Eng school. Bad 2.9 GPA though.
Passed all levels of CFA, FRM & CAIA exams in one attempt.
Just started working at a PE firm in my home country as an analyst. Will have more than 1yr work exp. till school starts.
Managing my personal & client's equity portfolio since last 1.5 yrs worth a huge amount.
GMAT score: 700. Will again be attempting for a higher score.
I'm concerned about the schools being inflexible about their GPA req. and completely neglecting CFA & other exams which, might put me in a disadvantageous position.
Awaiting your feedback. Thanks

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your profile with us. Schools like Vandy, UT Austin, and Wash U will be on the stretch side of things, but I think you could target one school out of these programs. While your GPA is a hurdle in your application, your finance test scores are a great plus. What do you hope to do upon graduation? What is your leadership capacity? What other involvement activities can you highlight? Answers to these questions will help you develop a compelling story for your target schools. If you'd like to discuss how we can help you with your applications, feel free to sign up for a free consultation below. Best of luck!
