Hey everyone,
I am 22 and currently doing a Master of Finance in Amsterdam. I am interested to get admission in fall 2020 for several master programs in the USA.
My GRE score is 326 (167 Quant + 159 Verbal), AW still awaiting where as in my previous attempt was 318 (161 quant + 157 verbal, 4.5 in AW). I have a TOEFL of 112 and my grades from University will be around the Top 10%.

I worked during my Bachelor as I did 4 full-time internships (1 Valuation, 1 Consulting, 1 Portfolio Managment & 1 Global Markets) while I also held a part-time Working Student job in Asset Management for a year. Thus, I have relevant work experience of around 1.5 years.
But I have several questions around the whole process and possibilities with my profile.

1. What Schools and Programs would you recommend me as I am noch ready to go full Quant (e.g. Computational Finance / Financial Mathematics). I am thinking about applying at UCSD Finance Master, Vanderbilt, Princeton, MIT and Yale Master of Asset Management
2. Should I apply for a programs even when the admission statistics of last year are higher than my score? (e.g, MFE UCB with a median Quant Score of 168)
3. Should I send both of GRE scores or is the latest one sufficient?
4. Do you have any general tips I need to keep in mind during the application process and around my profile?

Best regards
