Hi I am applying to STEM Designated MS Finance program in US and would like some help.
I am an Indian male, graduated from a decent Indian university in Economics. GPA 3.1, GMAT 690 (Q49, V36) and cleared Level 3 of the CFA program.
I have been working as an FP&A analyst at a mid size textile firm for the past 2 years. Also recently I have started working as a financial consultant with an early stage solid waste management start up.
I have participated in several extra curricular activities during my college and also volunteered, but after college, working and preparing for the CFA exams took all my time.
I am targeting Master's programs at following universities:
Rochester
Rutgers
Tulane
SUNY buffalo
Fordham
Syracuse
Brandeis
Babson
My goal is to work in buy side equity research in USA.
Substantial scholarship is crucial for me.
I wanted to know about the quality of these programs and also the career prospects post graduation.
I would also like to know how competitive my profile will be for entry level jobs in the US and what I should do to improve my chances to secure a job there.
Thank you
