Masters in OR/FE

[jshyam22]

Hi

 

Brief profile:

 

GPA: 3.48, Masters in electrical engineering at a top school (minor: OR)

GRE: Q: 170 V: 162 AWA: 4.0

TOEFL: 120 on 120 (international grad)

Current occupation: analyst at a leading investment bank (reason to study further: love for applied math, I feel that more graduate work would help in this line of work in finance)

 

Applications:

 

MIT ORC (MS)

Princeton ORFE (MSE)

Columbia OR/FE (MS)

Cornell ORIE (M. Eng with specialization in FE)

Berkeley OR (M.Eng)

 

Am I being too ambitious with the above choices? What are the odds of my making it to the above? Any other good programs that you think I should consider?

 

Thanks in advance! Cheers

Have you done any research? Any published, or at least submitted work? I think GPA and GRE scores, however good, will only get you through the first filter.
