Keep in mind, when you shed out 50K for the MFin, MFE or MSF programs, you are not only paying for the quality of education, but a huge premium for career services and placement assistance. GWU might have the education element, however, its placement record is not worth the premium. LZ should shoot for a 700+ GMAT and 100+ TOEFL, get good relevant work experience and apply to the best programs (Princeton MFin, Berkeley MFE, CMU MSCF, etc.). Why settle for less if you CAN do better?
