Hi all,

I am new to this site and couldn't find a thread regarding my query.
I am a graduate in Accountancy from India in 2009 have finished my Chartered Accountancy course (similar to CPA - USA). I am currently working in accounting and auditing field and have no knowledge about any of the Programming language. However, I have done 2 levels of CFA and my GMAT score is 690. So I wanted to inquire if I am eligible to apply in MFE programs? and what are my chances in top colleges like Berkely, Vanderbilt etc.
Any reply on the same shall be highly appreciated.

I am sorry if its a similar post.

Thanks,
Dhwani

Vanderbilt has an MFE program? It's unclear if you want to do just any finance program or niche financial engineering type.
If the later, you need programming, math. Lot of them to just to meet the admission requirement. Go through each program and see the requirements.
A lot of info can be found starting from here
 
Hey Andy, Thanks for Revert. I would prefer MFE but if that's not possible than may be I would apply to MIF. I checked a few programs, most of them require programming abilities. So i wanted to check if they require it as a part of your graduate curriculum or simply the knowledge of it. So I if i do any certification course, will that suffice?
