Hi,
I am planning to undertake a Master of Finance or a Master of Management with a concentration in finance. I graduated a year ago with a Bsc in Business Economics and have no work experience.
My target industry is either management consulting or a finance job within banking. The geographical regions I'm interested in is Asia/Pacific or Europe (UK, Germany).
I have one unconditional offer from Monash University and one conditional offer from Melbourne Business School, both to a similar cost. I need a target score of 600 for MBS and I am currently using EmpowerGmat for prep.
However, with one month left until enrollment and a GMAT score closer to 500 than 600, I am seeking some advice.
Value for money: MBS is ranked among the top 10% B-schools in the world whilst Monash business school appears on No rankings. Does this imply that I would be better off going to MBS in terms of value for money, school reputation, global career opportunities etc?
Is it worth paying a similar amount to Monash even though the business school is not globally recognized compared to MBS?
Overall, would it be more strategic to postpone my studies up to a year to get a higher GMAT score and get into a more well recognized B-school?
Thankful for advice,
Christian
