OK, a little PR/Marketing for my MBA school.....If you're looking for a job on Wall Street and want a small, quality program that is on the rise in placement and reputation, then take a look at UF-MS in Finance:

http://warrington.ufl.edu/fire/programs/msf/ would be a good choice.

The GMAT for that program is roughly the same as the MBA (hovering around the 700 mark), but the work experience admissions requirement is lax:

Class: 2008 2009 2010* 2011*
Graduates: 34 20 30 12
AVG. GMAT: 663 662 668 709
GMAT 700+: 9 6 10 9

"The Gator Finance Professionals Network
In 2007, the MSF program and its friends, along with
UF Foundation members, began assembling a list of
UF alumni working in investment banking, buy side
asset management, corporate finance (raising capital
and arranging deals), sales and trading, venture capital,
hedge funds and asset management. In June 2008, the
first Gator Finance Professionals Network reception
was held in New York City with over seventy Wall St.
Gators in attendance. An update
was given on the Hough Masters
in Finance Program and the
electronic network, Gatorfin.com,
was introduced. Gatorfin.com is
a password protected, invitation
only, website for members to find
one another, ask questions, share
ideas and mentor others."
