MSF Programs for IB

Hi all,

I graduate in Spring 2024 with a BSBA in Finance from a non-target university and I'm currently an intern at a F500 rotational program. My first two rotations in the program have not been good enough experience for pursuing an SA position for 2023, so I'm thinking of pursuing an MSF. I'm getting a decent education, but feel like I'm missing out on so much. I'm hoping that one of these programs allow me to work in IB and perhaps PE in the future. 

I have been looking at Vandy, UT Austin, UF, and IU. I like that Vandy has a >50% IB placement. I think that Vandy is for me, but I'm not sure about the placement for the rest of these programs. 

I currently have a 3.81 GPA and would have 2 years of finance/accounting internship experience in Healthcare by the time I graduate. I believe that I have a solid chance of being accepted into these programs. I plan to grind out the GMAT this summer for potential scholarships. 

Have any of you gone through these programs? Or know someone who has?

Thank you!
