<p>I'm going to have my bachelors in finance from texas A&M in May. My plan A is to get a job, but if things fall through, Im considering grad school. I dont have the grades to get into a top MSF program like Berkeley or anything. My last 60 hours are right around 3.0. I took the official practice GMAT off MBA.com and got 660.</p>
<p>Does anyone have an opinion on the UT Dallas MS Finance program? Their website is lacking in starting salary info, but their MBA program is rated pretty well by USNWR, so I assume their MS programs are pretty solid. But is it worth the trouble when I could just take a CFA prep course? Some things to consider though, I'd qualify for a pretty nice sum of financial aid, and I could even live with my family in Dallas for that 1.5 yrs and actually probably pocket some of my grant money. That+the money I'd make working a part time job could be split between paying down by student loans with A&M, and feeding my savings account.</p>
