MSF or MAS?
Hello, I'll spare everyone my life's story and start at the point where I ended up at Purdue, on course to graduate at the end of this year with a 3.5. I made a ton of bad decisions along the way, and have been pulling a 3.8+ discounting my freshman year, but I doubt anyone will look at that.
Msf/Mfin ultralow GPA, possible?
After looking fruitlessly for gainful employment in finance I was wondering, if I could score a 700+ on the GMAT (with a high quant score) is there a chance I could get into a upper tier program? Some of the schools have GPA requirements, should I just avoid those? Most of the schools mention a...
