I assume you went to UF from your posts in the CFB thread, when I talked to the program director what he told me sort of implied that while Florida has great placement in IB, it's because they have recruit into the MSF program mainly Florida business undergrads, ensure that they get solid internships during undergrad so that they can land job offers as analysts after their masters year.
I'm not contesting that Florida has great IB placement coming out of that program - just saying that unless you went there for undergrad or had an internship before, you're not magically going to get an IB job by attending.

Ridiculously. I had a GMAT significantly over their average admittance GMAT, stellar recommendations from professors that I TA'd for in undergrad, and graduated with a GPA over 3.75 and didn't even get an interview. Just a cold ding, no reason, form letter. I think it was mainly because of my weak math back ground in undergrad (no linear algebra, no diff eq, no cal iii, whatever) that fucked me. I applied in the third round, for what it's worth. Maybe if I had gone round 1 or 2 I would've had better luck.
