Hey Guys,
I'm very new to the forum and stuff, but it seems like everyone here has a general idea of what they're doing and what not.
Here's a little bit of background on my situaton:
I really want to get into finance and quantitative analysis. However in undergrad I did something completely different from what I want to do now. In college I studied Biology in order to get into Med School. However I realized I hated it and wasn't very interested in biology. I opted into something more along the lines of information technology in healthcare. I've been working in healthcare for the past 3 years, mostly technical jobs like systems administration and etc. But honestly I've always been fascinated with economics, but more so with numbers. This is why I want to pursue something in Quantitative Methods and etc.
My GPA is not stellar due to my bio background, but my Math, Physics and Statistics background are solid (A's and B's).
My cumulative GPA is a whopping 3.0 and my Major GPA is 3.5. I scored a 710 in the GRE math section and 600 in the verbal. (4.5 Writing)
How does my chances look when it comes to getting into the MS Quantitative Methods and Modeling program?
I don't know anyone that's in it, but I know many people who are in Zicklin's School. If anyone can give me any insight to the program and the competitive nature of the program, I'd appreciate it.
Also should I take the GMAT just in case? I don't know if a 710 is good enough for the math section, but I'd really like to lay off it and just apply as soon as possible. Also if you could email me that would be great too.
