Hi there, friend. As an experienced professional candidate, you can focus more on the programs that require work experience. These kinds of programs are tailored for professionals, so they will value your work experience more. I’d suggest you to do more research on the MSF programs at Brandeis University, UIUC, and Boston College.

I get a good sense that you understand that your weakness here is your GPA. So, in your essays, try to show your ability to study new things fast and effectively. This will definitely help your applications. Hope this answers some of your questions, dude, and feel free to reach out again with any follow-ups!

Hi John, besides UIUC and BC, what others schools you know prefer students that have working experience? Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for following up with me. I have a good sense that your are on the right track now. In terms of MSF, besides BC and UIUC, you can also research the ones in Purdue University, George Washington University and Brandeis University. In terms of MSA programs, UT Austin, Brigham Young University and Notra Dame University are good options for you. I'd also suggest you to think of your career goal and career path carefully. Especially you already worked for a few years. This will help you convince the admission committee that you are the one they are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Dear Jon,
I don't think BYU is a good choice for most of the Chinese applicants. It is a place of "No tea and No coffee". At least for me, I rather die for a cup of espresso...

Anyway, GMAT 620 is too low. You should retake it and at least fetch the level of 680. Then you would have more chances to get admission.

Himy friend, thanks for the comment. But I believe the questions here is why youwant to have a master’s degree and what is your ideal career path? Comparing toschools in China, most of the school in the States are in suburban areas. I dounderstand young people like to stay in big cities and have a great sociallife. But what is I tell you there are two choices for you: For the first oneyou can stay in a school in New York and have a wonderful two year and suffer alot to find a job; For the second one you will study in suburban area and get away better chance to land a job in New York for the rest of your life?
Ofcourse this is personal preference. But I just want to suggest our candidateshere to evaluate your motivation first and make a better choice. Location isDEFINITELY important, but it’s not all you need to consider, not even the firstthing.
Bewise for your life long decision.

Hi Jon, thanks for your reply.

I think we have a little misunderstanding here. What I say about "No tea and No coffee" is Birmingham Young University's college rule. As a Mormon university, it will not allow students to have tea or coffee in the campus. For many Chinese it is not a good thing.

I do believe location is a very important factor. Because for many Chinese applicants, the most important reason they want to go abroad is to open their mind, broader their view, and see a bigger picture, especially for many master applicants who study only 1-2 years and go back to China later. Studying in a big city will definitely help a lot on that.

Dear Jon,

My background is G680&T99, W/E 2.5y in Big 4 accounting firm & 0.5y in bank. I am planning to apply for MSF or MBA programs in US or Canada.(in Canada, i think i will just go for MBA in Rotman.)
I will choose 2-3 schools for MSF. Do you have any recommendations for me?
Thanks!

Hi there, and thank you so much for reaching out! From yourbackground, I can see that your rich work experience is a major highlight. Twoquick pieces of advice for you. First of all, I’d suggest evaluating your careerplans because MBA and MSF programs can lead to two very different careers. An MBAis more of a general management trajectory and an MSF will put you on a morespecific professional path in finance. Secondly, I’d highly recommend you workhard and go for higher GMAT & TOEFL scores. Your scores are fine but youare just a LITTLE bit under the level needed to be competitive. Ideally, youwant to have GMATs over 700 and TOEFLs over 100. If you can get higher scores,it will really help your chances in applying to better schools.
For now in terms of MSF, I’d also suggest you check out UIUC,BC, Purdue, and Brandeis. These schools value work experience, which you can leverageto your advantage. Hope this helps!
