Which school would be best choice for a financial analyst or manager?

Quote From DavidMike:
I want to be someone who evaluates the profitability of the business, how they are spending money and how they could reduce costs, what investments they should make, financial plans Ext.

I can either go to UIUC for around $120k at the most for living + education without any scholarships and major in Accounting/Finance and minor in Econ. Then go get a MBA at a top 10 school for $120k without any scholarships and not accounting for living expenses.

Or go to a more competitive school like Northwestern/Berkeley/New York for Undergrad and major in economics and finance for $300k.

I have no idea which choice would provide the better overall education for my career choice which is probably most important. But also the former would take 6 years while the latter would only take 4. Although I could get a MBA at a later point in my life I would be losing 2 years of salary at some point.

Thank you!

Quote From Nabeelmuhammed:
Hello friends,
Is there some one who can guide me with higher studies and career guidance ?

I'm soon planning to join for mba in UK.
Im confused between specialisations.
Is mba in international fashion management(Coventry y university London campus) a good course ? Is it worth spending for ? Does it have any scope ? Will I be limited to just fashion industry ?
I don't know anything about designing. I'm looking into management side.

I had done my bachelor's in business management.

Or should I go for something like mba in global business or something else ?

Please guide me..

P.s. dear admin,I don't know if it's out of topic.but I need some urgent help for this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Choosing the PG course is completely depending on your career goals. As you'd like to enter into management and already you did bachelors in business management the better option is to choose the most relevant specialisations which have more scope such as international MBA, Innovation Management / Entrepreneurship, Finance, Accounting and marketing. MBA in Fashion management also has good scope but less when compare to others.

It may be impossible but do you know any options?

The only sensible way to do that would be to go through a 1+3 PhD where the first year is a taught masters year with mini projects followed by the 3 year PhD. In the UK they are called DTCs.

Thank you!

Quote From Tudor_Queen:
Does your uni have a careers service? That would be a good place to go. Also, ask about mentoring. Some unis have mentoring services where alumni offer placements (or just distance mentoring in some cases) to current students. I guess this could be done remotely, if your UK uni offers it.

In very rare you can find the mentoring in uni. But some schools might allow distance mentoring (I am not sure).

Brief about the candidate profile:
MBB consultant at a tier-2 European city with 2+ years of experience by the
time I'll apply
A few internships here and there at random FTSE100 companies in undergrad
Bachelor's degree from complete non-target schools - graduated with Distinction & top 2% of my intake class though
Gmat score:720
Fluent in 4 languages
What are chances for this profile to get into top schools for MBB?

What do you mean by "top school"?

Hi DrDuzgun,
As per my experience you will not have any issue by doing Master program in English. Though, you are from medical background, you can pursue this course. For the people who have a zeal to get expertise/master in a specific language need not worry as any language can be learnt by anyone irrespective of educational background/profession. I would suggest to go with online master programmes to save your time and continue your current profession. The Language Gallery may fulfill your requirement.
