Profile:
I will be graduating next May with an accounting degree, minor economics. I should end up with around a 3.2. I have taken a practice test without any studying and scored 700; after analyzing my distribution I expect to increase this approx 50 pts with study. I am involved in many extracurriculars but few leadership roles, and will have completed a summer class at LSE.
My ultimate goal is to work in finance for a BB bank. Probably investment banking, maybe sales & trading, or investment management type work.
I am looking at MSF programs in the US and Europe and am not sure what schools are realistic options because of my relatively low GPA. I am most interested in Vanderbilt, HEC Paris, and Warwick. I believe the Europe schools have better placement records. I didn't list LSE/Oxbridge because I don't think I have a shot.
