I can't decide whether I should apply for an MBA or a Master in Finance. I have two years of work experience in Big Four and I want to work in financial services, i-banking in particular. I am very interested in the MiFs from Warwick, Imperial and Cranfield. But I would do an MBA instead if that's the better route. I just need some suggestions about MBA programs that would accept my 2 years of work experience. Thanks for advice.

If you are sure you want to stay in finance then an MiF is probably the better choice, especially considering your lower work experience. Another option would be to work for another year and then look at ranked MBA programs - this would give you more flexibility after graduation.

Thanks Laurie. I don't really want to wait another year, so I'll probably go with a Master in Finance unless there is a good MBA program that would accept me with my work experience.
I haven't taken the GMAT yet but I'm confident I'll crack at least 700 no problem.
