The schools that you list should be within reach - but make sure you explain clearly (in your essays) why you are looking to switch to finance.

Best wishes.

Hi,

I graduated with a B.S in General Biology at the University of Washington, Seattle last year (2014), but I am trying to switch careers into Finance.
Naturally I began to do some research for an MS in Finance. I am going to list my qualifications and a list of schools I am interested in, please let me know if the schools are within reach!

Undergrad: UW Seattle, B.S in General Biology (2014), GPA: 3.06
Additional education: UC Berkeley, Base Program (2014), intensive 6 week business course of non-business majors (accounting, marketing, organizational behavior), GPA: 3.465, A- in Accounting.
Extracurricular:: One year as a Korean Student Association Officer at UW, Seattle and 3 years of volunteering at a non profit health clinic.
GMAT: 720
Work experience: Marketing Intern at Microsoft for one year (this was during my senior year of high school), Marketing intern at a small Seattle IT company and lastly I will be starting a Amazon entry level associate job in July.
