Hello there good sir!
And thanks for dropping by,
I like your school list! I think you choose a range of schools that is pretty honest and fair given your background and profile. I'd say that if you apply to one or two from your stretch, and then two or three from your competitive and then one or two from your safe list, you should do pretty allright.
My biggest question mark is about your goals - I mean I KNOW why you want to go into finance (good jobs, lots of salary, interesting and prestigious) but the thing is so does everyone else... and coming from IT, I'm not sure how much this makes sense, so I'm not sure if this is the story you want to present the AdCom. I don't really have too much commentary about WHICH of these schools you should go for (not without knowing more about why you choose them) other than the fact that Baruch should for sure be in. It's too much in the right location
If you also apply to MFEs (that's a LOT of applications!) that's fine, but Haas will be too difficult. I think Stevens and Nanyang should be possible for you though.
Hope this helps!!!

Thanks for replying .
As to some of the queries you raised I would like to say that I want to study MBA in finance because an MBA programs will have a broader management focus with an emphasis on leadership .
A finance specialization will help me understand assets, liabilities, balance sheet etc.
I want to get into sell side of investment banking and my IT background(2 +yrs exp in c++) will help me in structuring desks in the sales and trading divisions of banks. I could develop trading strategies that exploit the inefficiencies in the market to create wealth through algorithms. An understanding of asset, liabilities, balance sheet etc will help me in producing more efficient algorithms.
As for your second query regarding school selection I would like to say that most of the universities that I have listed are on the east coast so that I have better chance of getting into investment banks.In addition
Rochester: Has a good MBA in Finance course,is in new york state.
SMU cox: Financial service industry is top employer according to business week and provides good financial aid
Pittsburgh: Near east coast,tuition fees is less.
Urbana Champaign: good MBA in Finance course , less tuition fees, Financial service sector top employer
University of Connecticut: Financial service industry is top employer according to business week and provides good financial aid, Near east coast
Northeastern University: Location is boston, N univ has 6 months internship so a lot of tuition fees can be recovered and provides good financial aid.
Baruch CUNY: Location and less tuition fees.
I hope this will help you!
