I am planning to apply for masters programs for 2020 entry. I have decent grades in undergrad and good GMAT/GRE scores. I am aiming at top masters programs in the world (e.g. MIT, Oxford). What schools and programs would you recommend? I am interested in Corporate Finance as well as asset management. I am also interested in programs that emphasize the use of data science in finance. Currently, I am studying to take the CFA Level 1 exam in December.

It's hard to say without knowing more about you. If you plan to apply for an MBA, Columbia, Wharton, & Booth are all known for finance & are some of the best schools in the world. But getting in depends on a lot more than just your GPA & GMAT. They'll also want to see 3-5 years of strong work experience where you've driven meaningful, quantifiable results & demonstrated leadership. Your post-MBA goals are critical as well since your argument for why you need the degree (and the skill gaps you need to fill) rest on those. The adcom wants to know exactly what you plan to do (ST & LT title & target firms), what you plan to accomplish and WHY this is your passion. You need to paint a compelling picture of what you will contribute in b-school & convince them why they should admit you vs. all the other candidates with similar backgrounds & equally strong scores.
If you want to go into more of a data role you could also consider masters in business analytics programs, or masters in finance if you want to go the finance route. In general across all of these programs you want to hit & ideally exceed the average GMAT/GRE and GPA but like I said, that is no guarantee that you'll get in.
If you need any help thinking through your plan (as well as your strategy & story) feel free to reach out to us. If you email Claudia at claudia@admissionado.com she can set you up with a free consultation with one of our consultants who can take a look at your resume & give you some more detailed thoughts.
