Weighing Options: MSF, MBA and Europe to US
I'm a 22-year old finishing my economics undergrad online at a decently ranked (top 50-ish) US school, but as I said I'm doing it online from Europe. I will be 23 by the time I finish undergrad as I took a couple gap years, but must stay in Europe (Spain specifically) for 1 more year after that.
Essentially, my 2 main goals are to live and work in the US, and get into (ideally) IB/PE.
After finishing undergrad, I'm pretty much decided on doing an MSF, whether that be in Europe or the US. So the options I'm weighing are pretty much:
1) Do an MSF in Europe, work for 2-3 years, and then do a top MBA program in the US, or
2) Finish my undergrad, and directly do an MSF in the US (after year of waiting/internships in Europe) with the goal of staying in the US and getting an IB/PE offer ideally.
If I went the US MSF route directly I'd be 25 by the time I graduate with an MSF.
If I went the Europe MSF route I'd be 24 by the time I start working in Europe, and 26-27 by the time I started the MBA in the US (if everything goes to plan).
The MSF I would do in Europe would have to be in Spain, so IE or Esade which seem to both have great placement (I know some UK schools have better placement, but I must stay in Spain as mentioned).
In the US, I've looked into programs such as Vanderbilt, UT Austin, MIT, Yale Asset Management (probably not this one), and lower on the list Villanova, USC, and WUSTL.
Any thoughts on my options? I'm blessed enough to be in a position where the tuition is not too much of a hurdle due to spending essentially nothing on undergrad and family savings.
