Princeton or similar Mfin program admission

Graduate School
1

<p>New to the forum, hopefully I'm not making a thread that already is out there somewhat. I am a Junior at Penn State University, accounting major, economics minor, mathematics minor, 3.71 cumulative gpa. I've taken many finance courses here and with two more of them would complete the finance major here, but Penn State doesn't allow that nor do they offer a finance minor. Basically all that I'm really saying is that I have all the required prerequisite knowledge listed on the Princeton Mfin site. I feel like the answer is that I'm probably not competitive for this program, especially straight out of undergrad, but I'll ask- Do I have a chance at getting into the Princeton Mfin program? Is my undergrad too weak, gpa too low? Would a quantitative GRE score of 790 even get me in? </p>

<p>Also, although I've researched a bit, I can't really find many, or any, programs that are about all aspects of finance like Princeton's, rather than just financial engineering. If anyone could tell me some that are similar to it, I would appreciate it. </p>

<p>Also, again...Do my gpa and GRE scores need to be well above the program median because of my weak undergrad school?</p>

<p>Lots of questions above, thanks for answers to any of them.</p>

<p>Princeton’s acceptance rate usually hoovers around 11% for their MS Finance program. Certainly difficult to get accepted into, but not impossible. </p>

<p>You should look at this link, [M.S</a>.
