Since someone has already posted a thread on this, I must ask. I have taken the GRE twice, a year ago I scored 710 in math and 350 in verbal. Last week I took the test once more and I scored 740 in quant and 490 in verbal. I am also an international student. My GPA is 3.06 and I scored 110 in the TOEFL test. I have a B.S in Industrial Engineering and major in Finance and Operations Research. Currently I am working as a fixed income analyst at a Colombian brokerage firm and I am about to complete my first year in this position.

I know that my profile is not as good, but I know that the admissions committee also look at the intention letters and recommendations. One of my teachers in the University has a really good profile ( BS from MIT, MSFE from NYU and PHD from stanford) and he would gladly recommend me for any program.

My Intentions are to apply to the following:

Berkeley
Columbia
U Chicago
NYU
U Michigan
Rutgers
UCLA
Cornell
GA Tech
boston U
ITT

However, I do not want to waste my time and money sending applications to places where I would not have a change. Perhaps I can receive some advice on which schools should I look into or if I should re-taking the GRE or something else to become an eligible candidate.

thanks.
