GMAT score 690. Where Universities should I aim for, for an MS in Finance?

I am a BTech in Computer Science and have no relevant professional work experience. I am considering a MS in Finance. Can you suggest which Universities would be the best bet for my profile? Indian, Male, Engineer, GRE 690, GPA 3.2/4.

You’d get into Villanova, JHU, OSU, etc. I think you’d struggle at Vanderbilt, BC, UT, USC.

690 isn’t bad, but a 3.2 is lowish and being International will make it harder.

This is a high level opinion though as I don’t know about your work experience, etc.

 

Thanks a ton. My work ex has been primarily into Supply Chain Operations which isn't very relevant to the MS programs. Will that make a difference?

What else can I do in the next 3-4 months to improve my chances for BC or USC?

 

Aut eius ut nihil sequi maiores quod. Numquam voluptatum amet ut ea recusandae. Illum quam quia nemo est quidem facilis delectus eveniet. Quos nostrum non quo cum.
