The University of Chicago Booth School of Business - Joint Ph.D in Financial Economics

What is the cutoff GRE score used for admissions by Chicago's joint Ph.D. in Financial Economics? Is it too high? Their website doesn't give any reference to this...

There isn't any cutoff, but you will need a very high quant score to be considered a serious application. Probably no lower than 760. Also, I want to point out that you can't apply directly to get a PhD in Financial Economics -- you have to either apply and be accepted to Booth OR the regular economics department. Once you are a student, you need to apply for the joint degree in the first two years of your program.
