Hey guys!
I'm new here and not sure if something like this was already answered but would love to know from you all if Princeton or Baruch is within reach for me or not. I have an undergraduate in finance from India from a tier 2 university and an MFE from a tier 2 university here in US. I've been working as a quant for a bank for 3 years and have strong LORs to support my application. Other than that, I'm also working on the prerequisites for this program (Calculus-1,2,3,Linear Algebra and Probability) and along with that I got a good GRE score of 169Q. The reason I want to go back to school is because I'm looking for better opportunities out there and want to do it from a top program this time. Is there anything else I should be doing to make my application strong or it's a waste of time to even consider an elite program like Princeton? I'm also a US Citizen but not sure if that's relevant at all. I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!
