  1. I'm actually trying to do the same thing...get into a top PhD program in Marketing...BA in English, 2.7, MS in Marketing, 3.9, six years working as a marketing director. I don't know if this is how you do it, but I've been reading a lot and I know a lot of the top 50 programs expect a certain courses to have been taken beforehand. From NYU's catalog, for all programs: "integral and differential calculus (Cal 1 and 2), microeconomics and macroeconomics, psychology or sociology, and matrix or linear algebra." Of course, like they go onto say, these classes don't have to be taken before acceptance-(you have to "remedy deficiencies the summer before classes start by taking them in summer school"), but they help. I spoke to a Northwestern (Kellogg) student (Marketing major) and she said she was the only on in her entering class who hadn't taken Real Analysis and she wished she had. So I've been taking those classes at a local community college (six psych classes, micro and macroecon, cal 1-3, and stats 1, in addition to basic business classes like intro to finance), and I'm starting an MS in Stats program this Fall, which takes care of my Linear Algebra req, and can highlight my quantitative ability/ability to do research. I've heard 700 is an average score of those accepted, but I've also heard that there is a goodness of fit that often plays a big part: whether your research interests fit well with a faculty member in the program to which you are applying. Contact with said professor(s) beforehand can help also.
