PhD finance profile evaluation

by mensanumber » Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:23 pm
Hi,

I recently took the GMAT and scored 750 (Q48, V46, AWA5, IR4). I am applying to top10-30 PhD finance programs in the US and I am an Indian applicant. My quant score is bummer. Should I retake the GMAT or overall good score of 750 will make up for low quant score? Here are other details of my profile:

Education:
MSFinance from tier2 school in the US. GPA 3.64
MBA India first class(GPA 3.66 per WES)
BE India(GPA 3.68 per WES)

Research Experience: Research Paper published in university magazine

Work Ex: 10 finance

If I don't retake GMAT will I be able to get into any of the following PhD finance programs:
NYU Stern, UCLA, Rochester Simon, Boston College, BU Math Fin, Urbana Cham Illinois, UT Austin, UNC, Purdue-Krannert, Rice Jones, Rotman, McGill, Baruch-Zicklin, Queen's, Texas A&M, UCSD Rady, U Alberta?

Thanks,
Ankush

Congratulations on a strong GMAT score!!! No, for anybody reading this thread you do not ever need to retake the GMAT with a 750 or above.

You should be able to secure admission into more than one of the schools on your list. Feel secure with your GMAT score and concentrate on producing the best application possible.

Good luck,
