<p>Benetode,</p>
<p>I’ll be graduating with my BBA in Finance from Washington State University this summer with a ±3.0 GPA. To improve my GPA, bolster my graduate application, and better prepare for the GMAT, I’ve decided to return for one more year to obtain my BS in Economics. I’m interested in learning about trading, but I think my skills are better suited to pursue a career in investment banking (M&A). Preferably a regional or boutique investment bank. I also have hopes of attaining the CFA charter someday.</p>
<p>Given this brief academic overview. What do you think I can do to improve my admission chances into Tulane’s MS Finance program? Tulane is my #1 MS Finance choice due to the reasons you mentioned. I will also be applying to University of Rochester, Bentley University, and possibly University of Arizona.</p>
<p>Any information or tips you can provide would be of extreme help</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Alex</p>
