I plan on attending a U.S. mfin program in fall 2015 and would like to know what my chances are at getting accepted to a top mfin program, such as MIT and Claremont Mckenna.

My background:
Graduated from a top ten undergraduate b-school (a public university) in the States with honors and distinction
Majored in finance and accounting, and minored in maths and economics
GPA: 3.8
One-year business technology consulting experience at a top consulting firm and a three-month internship at a startup brokerage firm in Chicago
GMAT: V38, Q50, 730, 96th percentile

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Marvin,

Given your great grades and GMAT score you are very competitive for top MFin Programs. Your high quantitative score and math-focus helps since MFin's are quantitatively rigorous.

You can compare yourself with the class profile - https://mitsloan.mit.edu/mfin/admissions/class-profile2/

Best of luck,

Agreed with Michael - you've got the pieces for a great run! Make sure you REALLY showcase your time at the brokerage firm. Try to tick off as many financial knowledge boxes as possible (without looking like you're trying too hard) as possible because that component will help you stand out from others without financial services experience!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
