Considering an MSF... Am I making the correct decision?
I'm considering going back to school for a Master's in Finance, but I'm not sure I'm making the right decision. I graduated school in May 2009 from a big state school with a degree in Economics. Due to personal problems my undergrad experience didn't go the way it should have, so I graduated without...
ANEX Advantage internship before MSF or MMS?
Anyone have any information on the ANEX Advantage internship (internship you pay to be part of)? Is it worth the money? What types of "firms" do you really intern at?

Anthony- Do you know of any schools in the US that are planning to offer an MS in Finance? I know Gtown isn't- any other info?
Anyone from St.Gallen?
I am getting mixed signals about applying there and would love to speak with people that either went there for their Masters in Finance or anyone that even considered it. I've looked at other sites as well but too much information in this case can only be beneficial I feel. I know Europe passed some...

Vanderbilt MSF Job Placement
Found this link on another forum. Since there seems to be a lot of questions about the Vanderbilt MSF program (and MSF programs in general) I though I'd post this link listing job placements from 2006-2009. Hopefully this should help answer questions that we often see on this forum (i.e. Is Vandy a...
Merton going back to MIT to teach in the MSF program
Just read that in bloomberg markets. Should be a great addition to the new program and gives the MSF degree more press. Still not sure if 80k for a MIT MSF is worth it, but with Merton teaching it deff adds something to the program.

How strong of a math background do I need to be successful in an MSF

GWU's MSF
I was wondering if any of the members from WSO have any experience with George Washington University's B-School, whether its personal experience or you know someone who went there. I am specifically interested in their MSF program and that hefty tag of $60,000 for their tuition alone. That's...
Virginia Tech MSF program

Good MFE still possible?
I got a B in Dif Eq. My class was not curved (no quotas) so although I was top 5 or so in a class of 30, I still got a B. The test used ridiculous problems that you were expected to do in your head. Can I explain this in my app without sounding like I'm a whiner? I am doing engineering so pretty...
