Hey guys,
I am considering applying for MSF in the fall. I graduated with a ME Undergrad degree from WPI last Summer and currently working at one of the top Jet Engine Manufacturing companies. As much as I love engineering, after talking to some of the engineers here they suggested following finance/ MBA track instead of MS in Engineering. Also, as part of my daily job responsibilities I run simple economic analyses and I really enjoy doing those. So, after putting much thought into it I decided to pursue MSF instead of MS in Engineering with a Corporate Finance concentration.
These are the list of schools I’m considering – MIT, BC, BU, INDIANA (KELLY), BENTLEY, BRANDEIS (not sure if they have MSF), NORTHEASTERN. I mostly have Boston area schools because I intend to work in Boston after graduation.
Indiana and NEU will be easy way in because my company has corporate partnership with these schools. For rest, I’ll have to go through the regular application process.
Now considering my situation,
-
Which schools have the strongest MSF program / how would the schools be ranked in terms of their MSF Program rigors?
-
Does having an engineering background put me at a disadvantage?
-
Also, if I wanna work in Boston after graduation which schools give me the best shot at it?
Any help is appreciated.
