Hi all, I'm applying to Georgetown MSFS and Columbia SIPA (MIA), but am worried about my quant GRE and my lack of econ courses. Here's my background
GPA: 3.8 (business journalism and international relations)
GRE: 780v/700q/4.5aw
Work experience: Have been working as a financial journalist for three years at a major media outlet, covering international businesses. I interned at the Olympic News Service in China, as well as the business desk at The Times in London. Am on the steering community for a UNICEF project, as well as other volunteer work.
I'm worried about my low quant score, combined with my lack of econ courses (just one general econ course in college). I have a lot of applied quant work -- cover finance, economics, etc which should show my understanding of the topics. I just don't have the actual, basic economic coursework.
What do you think my chances are? Should have three solid letters of recommendations.
Thanks in advance for any advice!!
