Confusion regarding target universities for Masters in Finance.

[Harsh Gupta]

Hi all.
I have completed my under-graduation in the Business Management stream with an average GPA.
I am also pursuing a professional accounting degree and have a 3 year intern-ship experience in Audit department of a big 4 firm.

I am looking forward to apply to a master program in Finance.

Following are the key takeaways:
1. I have already submitted my application for MIT - Mfin course and on the verge on completing it for Washington Olin Masters in Finance (Corporate Finance track)
2. I want to know which are the other universities / programs that I should target.
3. I have already missed the Princeton Mfin deadline.
4. I want to end up working as a banker. A wall street job is something I have always looked forward to.
4. The last time, I received a formal training in Mathematics was in high school. Am I qualified to apply for Masters in Quantitative Finance courses. Will I be able to match up to the average class.
5. Should I also consider MS in Finance programs offered by universities in Europe / UK, keeping in mind the job crunch which is prevalent in media discussions these days.

Please advice.

Hi Kristine, I am not looking for online courses but full time campus courses.

Thanks for the information nonetheless

2. Of the ones you listed, LSE and WUSTL
4. No. Typical applicants to MFE/MathFin programs have a 4-year degree in a technical discipline (math, computer science, engineering, statistics) and have had extensive undergraduate math
5. Yes. But jobs in the UK are even harder to get than in the US.
