<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am from India, and did my undergrad from Indian Institute of Technology with a department rank of 4/65. I went on to do my MS in engg from Universtity of Illinois at Urbana Chamapign right after my undergrad(GPA 3.7/4). I have been working for around an year and a half as an engineer in a leading multinational firm in Texas. I am 25 years and 8 months old.</p>

<p>Right now, I am facing a dilemma whether to continue in my engineering field or opt for something like MS finance(for an year) from a top Ivy league school ( I am only considering top notch schools). I have saved enough money to pay for an IVY league tuition for an year.</p>

<p>Basically I have 2 questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is MS finance a risk worth taking considering i am pretty well established in my profession as an engg right now.</p></li>
<li><p>What are the requirements of an IVY school for a MS in finance( for example GRE or GMAT)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks all for your help,</p>

<p>I’m not sure that any Ivies offer an MS of Finance but MIT does and this is what they are looking for in terms of GPA and GMAT

<p>Their required courses however are more than most schools require (UT only requires an Econ course and statistics and Vandy I believe has no requirements)</p>
