Tulan MFIN GMAT Scores

Any idea on what the median GMAT score for Tulane's MFIN program is? I've been looking online to try and find the GMAT requirements for admission but nothing. Thanks.

With a decent GPA, you should be fine with around a 600.

My advice would be apply without a GMAT and see if you can get accepted on merit alone. This is what I did for the MBA program.

Lets say said applicant has a 4.0 GPA and an outstanding resume with experience and numerous leadership positions. I just suck at standardized tests.

probably good to go.
How bad was it?

I haven't taken it yet. I'm just mapping out my options right now and trying to get an accurate handle on admission standards. Hell, who knows I could smoke the sucker and waltz into Princeton for their MFIN program.

Honestly, it's not that hard.
a 600 is pretty low if you are a relatively intelligent person.
Buy the book, learn the quant formulas, attempt to speak properly for the couple months leading up to the test and you will be just fine.

That sounds about right. Also, spend some time working the practice problems provided in the software they give you when you sign up for the test and don't spend too much time hung up on one problem come test time. I signed up on short notice and studied the entire weekend before the test and I did just fine.

While studying, I realized that I should have taken it as a senior in high school. I would have made over a 700 back then....

Tulane will take you with a sub 600 GMAT so long as you are willing to shell out the 30K+/yr tuition.

Very true.
I considered the MS in finance at Tulane, but just couldn't see it bringing me far enough to justify the cost at this point.

I highly doubt this is true. The MFIN program has always been pretty popular, but it's really picked up due to the economy the past few years. It's a solid program also, especially for people who did not attend TU undergrad. I say this because Tulane has some really unique opportunities but they are available to both grads and undergrads (energy trading program, equity research program, etc.)

Tulane's MFIN specialty was ranked in the top 10 by the Financial Times. It may be worth the cost if this extra weighting will open any doors.
I run a PE practice at my current firm and the only school from this area that anyone has any regard for is Tulane.

IDK, one of my friends graduated with an MFIN about three years ago. Smart, articulate, ~3.8 GPA. He's not unemployed, but he's not where he wants to be, either. He didn't think the degree helped him much, at least with respect to job opportunities. He doesn't regret it (full ride), but he's taking the CFA now to try and move into a better job. Take that for whatever it is worth, its obviously a small sample size. BobSacamano landed himself an energy trading position, just with undergrad. Like most questions about MBAs etc., it really depends on what you are trying to do with the degree.
ETA: FWIW, I have no basis of comparison to other local/regional schools.

I scored a 640 and got in to their MBA program. I can't see the MFIN program being much tougher to get into.
