GMAT Scores for MSF Programs
I plan on applying to an MSF program for the Fall of 2012. I'm a double major in Accounting and Finance and I attend a top 100 university that is not really known for finance. My Overall GPA is a 3.5 (Finance GPA 3.7, Accounting GPA 3.8). I was wondering if anyone could tell me their opinions on what a "Safe" gmat score is for admission. I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on what score I need to have a good shot at the following schools: Villanova, LSE, Vanderbilt, and WUSTL. I have read all of the average GPA's for each class profile but I wanted to know if anyone has different opinions based on experience. If scores vary for each school then please specify the different score for each school.
Thanks everyone!
650 and above is a safe score. Your GPA is above all the schools average's and a GMAT around 650 would not lower their average.
Get an internship and you will be an even stronger candidate.
Thanks ANT. I keep hearing great things about NOVA and the renovation they made to their Business School. The Applied Finance Lab sounds amazing, especially since I am interested in Trading.
Sorry brah you need to take the GRE, U DUN GOOFED
Ignore the poster above. GMAT is more accepted. The GRE is softer in the math section.
The applied finance lab is pretty cool. I have seen a lot of labs and a lot of schools and Nova is one of the best. There is rumor (most likely true). That they are going to be expanding it once again. I am pushing the school to get CapIQ also. They have Bloomberg, Reuters, TraderX, Moodys, Argus, etc on there.
I would really like to see some Argus training since the school is pretty strong in the RE community. I had an interview with a REPE shop that I ended up declining. Just looked at the job site today and saw about 3 RE shops in the surrounding area looking for analyst level positions.
I have a good friend who got a 760 (49 math) on his GMAT and got rejected from LSE MFin with a 3.9 GPA from a target school. I guess his essays sucked?
