MSF Chances
HeyWSO,
目前高级非目标在南方,我是looking to attend a topMSFprogram next year (Fall 2022) to help break intoNYIB/PE。
GPA:3.61, Finance and Spanish double major, Econ minor
Experience:Started own company (>$150K revenue), AcceptedMMSAIBoffer for Summer 2022, Current intern at local boutiqueIBuntil end of the year, and a Corp Fin internship atPEheld SaaS company this past summer. Also am very involved w/ Greek Life on my campus (Exec Board of fraternity, Campus-wide IFC Board member), as well as our investment group.
GMAT:Taken once, got 700, realistically the highest I think I'll get on retries is 740-750. Plan on taking GMAT one more time.
Rec. letters:My supervisor last summer (Corp Fin) wrote me an amazing letter, he loved me.
I either could get an associate at my current internship or one of my finance professors to write my second letter. (Thoughts on this?)
The schools I'm looking at are:
Top 5:Vandy, UT Austin, WashU, MIT, USC
then Boston College, Villanova, and UVA's MSc.
I realize that I already have aSAoffer and could just accept that, but I'd rather use theMSFto "move up" or even break intoPEout of the master's program as a few people I've spoken to from Vandy have done that although I'd imagine it's rarer than going intoIB。
I'm looking for honest opinions on what you all think my chances are to get into a topMSFlike one of these schools, any feedback is helpful. I'm not sure if my experience may outweighmy lower GMAT score。Thanks in advance!

Vandy should be a wrap and ideally where you want to go. With your stats, you won't ruin the class profile (this is simply a checkmark). You'll probably apply and get in within a month. Vandy's reputation relies on placement and since you already have relevant finance experience and aSAgig lined up, they will have full confidence in you getting a job post-graduation and might even throw in some scholarship money. The program is only 10 months and they will work one-on-one with you to get you a betterFToffer if you decide to go that route.
Some other notes, MIT doesn't have a trueMSF。它的s more focused on the quantitative side of finance and, in my opinion, complete overkill in your situation. USC is okay with overall higher GMAT requirements and shittier placement. Vandy should be your top choice if you get in, and I think you will based on the info provided
Appreciate the feedback--Vandy is definitely my top choice. Do you think it really matters where my second rec letter comes from, either associate at current internship or one of my finance professors, or will the rest of my application kind of outweigh something small like that.
Doesn't matter as long as it's solid
My academic advisor is a.Spanish professor but I think they could write a better rec than anyone else, should I go with them for rec #2 or stop overthinking it?
