econfin Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 I am currently a junior in college, majoring in Economics a minor in Business Administration. I need some advice regarding my profile and what schools would be suitable for me. Below is my information. Thank you!! GPA: Overall: 3.63 | Major: 3.57 | Minor: 3.85 GRE: 155 Q, 149 V, 4.5 AWA, Total: 304. Research Experience: - 1 publication under the guidance of a professor (I'm the only author) - Working on honors thesis under the same professor over fall and spring semesters (hope is to get it published) - Taking a seminar in Economics where I will write another paper this fall (hope is to get it published) Major extracurricular activities: Held various leadership positions in Student Government where I audited organizations on campus regarding their constitutions and finances. Was also on executive board. Interacted with top University officials (VP's, President). CFO for a fund on campus (real money ~$200k, not fake). Manage the portfolio, give advice on stocks and other investments and interact with professors/university investment board. Treasurer for an organization named Enactus. Hope to have strong LOR's from 2-3 professors I have worked with and attended classes taught by them. Here is a summary of my profile. I know my GRE score is weak, so I'm wondering if my experience in research, GPA, and extracurriculars will make up for it. I'm hoping to attend Grad School and get a degree in Finance or Economics. Here are some schools I'm considering: Indiana University - Bloomington, University of Maryland College Park, University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, Temple University, Rutgers University, and Drexel University. Please tell me if I have any chances in getting these schools. If I need to retake the GRE, what should my target scores be? Thank you.
Boolakanaka Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Given that your desired programs have an inherent focus on quantitative skills, you best get your quant score in the 160 plus range and your verbal at least 150 plus....
