Schools considering applying to: MIT, Columbia, then Boston College, Boston University part time.
Worried my GMAT score might be a little low to get into MIT or Columbia and that I might have to take it again. Heard some say that a 680 is fine and others say that I should try to crack 700, so I wanted to see what you think? Thanks for the help...

- Undergrad GPA: 3.9 from Boston College - double major (Finance, Accounting), graduated summa cum laude and received following honors: Dean’s List First Honors; The National Dean’s List; Beta Gamma Sigma; Golden Key International Honour Society; Alpha Sigma Nu
- GMAT: 680 (Math 49, Verbal 34)
- Work Experience: Equity Research Associate for Mutual Fund Managers at Buy Side Investment Firm with ~$500 bn in assets under management (slightly over 3 years work experience, worked there since graduation)
- Other:
- completed CFA tests, will receive charter upon completion of work experience (4 years required)
- completed CMT tests, will receive charter upon completion of sponsor forms
- volunteer for Minds Matter on the weekends, created wiki for the program to help students better research summer programs
- interned at UBS Investment Bank summer after junior year at BC

Reason for MBA / career goals - advance further in investment management / eventually work for hedge fund
