So:
Final year of undergrad in India majoring in Biomed engineering from a non-target school with interest in becoming an investment manager (and a milestone of attending a prestigious US MBA program). No interest in biomed.
What is your other internship opportunity like? What are you thinking about location wise (I'll be out of my depth re: sponsorship issues)? What is a mediocre job? What MS finance programs are you interested in?
I like the CFA and what it preaches (ethics, pursuit of further education, connecting with other finance professionals around the world) but it's ability to initiate careers vs. grad school isn't that great.
FYI, a fair amount of people most likely enter MBA programs and view the curriculum as somewhat repetitive vs. undergrad but find other rationalizations for an MBA.
Generally speaking MS finance programs tend to have a large % of internationals who, similarly, applied to such programs with a similar mindset to your own.

These are two different degree programs that are aimed at helping alumni along different career paths. First, in terms of admissions an MBA is typically for prospective students who are more experienced (average 4-5 years) than those applying to MiF (average 1-3 years). Second, an MBA is a generalist program – you’ll get a lot of breath at the expense of depth. MiF is much more focused on topics related to finance – you’ll get more depth at the expense of breath.
If you are looking to transition to a new industry, aspire to climb the hierarchical ladder in the managerial position, or switch career paths (say from being an engineer to becoming a manager) then MBA is probably the right program for you. If you want to deepen your knowledge in finance or lack the necessary quantitative skills in your current job, then MiF is more appropriate. The best thing is to talk directly to the alumni of both programs and the career office and discuss your professional project with them.
