I'm going into my senior year and studying for the GMAT in preparation to apply for some MS Finance programs.
I'm an economics major at a top 50 "national liberal arts college" (usnews). I have a 3.48 GPA, which I am putting all of my efforts to increasing to a 3.5 after fall semester '15. I've been interning at a MM in public finance for almost a year.
My plans are to try and stay with the bank I'm at now in public finance. Also going to apply to some other public finance analyst jobs just in case. However, I want to have a gmat score to apply to MS Finance programs in case this plan falls through. I haven't taken a full practice test yet, but I'm thinking I might fall anywhere from 670-700 based on the questions I have done.
I have a list of the following MS Finance programs that I feel like would be a reach (?).
Vanderbilt
Boston College
Imperial (UK)
Warwick (UK)
Cass (UK)
Would these be plausible? I need suggestions for schools that would be more attainable in the US and UK.
