So, in another post on how to get a job from a non target, commenters delved into post-grad options in the means of internships as well as grad education. I'm about to be an undergrad at a non-target, but it was a safety for me so I know I can achieve a 3.8 or higher. Obviously yet to take the GMAT's, but let's say I get decent internship, a 3.8+, and a 650+ on the GMAT. I want to go into either investment banking OR something in a hedge fund. Three questions to follow:
1. Do I pursue an MBA or MSF? I think an MSF would make more sense considering it's more directed towards finance, might be a little more quant. focused. However, MBA's seem to very popular and most top tier ivy's offer MBA's and not all offer MSF's.
2. How long after I graduate undergrad should I choose to pursue these? I've been told to wait until I have a steady job as an analyst or associate so they can sponsor my grad education and other tests (Series 7, 24, 66, etc). However, coming from a non target might mean I have to pursue graduate education so that I can find a steady job.
3. Which schools should I look at with those credentials? I feel like they're very accurate and realistic for my future (given I feel like a 700+ on the GMAT would be a stretch).
Any insight would be great, again I'm only about to be a freshman in college (not like that 7th grader trying to find a target HS). Thanks.
