I just took the Gmat and scored a 640 47-Q 31-V.
I'm disappointed with my verbal score, but I hope it is made up with my strong AWA score. A month ago I scored a 560 with a 6.0 AWA, but this was the day that my dog was put to sleep and I knowingly went into the test without saying goodbye to him so that affected that performance.
I want to apply to Columbia ED by Oct 10th. Do you think I have a shot?
Here are my stats:
-Currently a senior in college - cumulative GPA 3.0 thus far (schools: naval academy prep school to NYU to Stony Brook University)
-Economics major
-Varsity lacrosse and captain at the naval academy prep school
-Elected platoon commander at the naval academy prep school
- I have been working for the past 2 years at UBS Investment Bank as a financial analyst in compliance - close to 30 hours a week. I was offered a full time job after college, but would rather continue my education.
-I also have another job as a manager at my uncles restaurant, 3 nights a week
-I also own my own business. I created a website based on investing education for traders. The source of revenue is mainly from advertisers. All the content is of my own. This business has been around for the past year and it focuses on technical analysis of the markets
-On top of all of this I am a full time student that is trying to pay off college (thus my not so over-achieving GPA). It is hard to juggle studying with all of the above when there is literally no time after taking an early train to the city, rushing back home on a train after work at UBS, then going to work again at the restaurant, and then attending my business.
-1 recommendation from the executive director of Compliance for north america from UBS whom I work for, and another from another friend of mine at UBS that works right below that director.
-I'm hispanic (if it matters)
I want to get into finance to turn my current business, into an actual profession by trading on Wall Street. I want to get on the sales side of fixed income trading.
I'm applying to Columbia Early Decision, NYU, Yale, BC, and BU.
Do you think I have a shot at any of these, or am I shooting too high?
Do you need any other info?
Thanks,
Mark
