Know anyone with GRE 160Q got admitted to top MFE programs?

[Rebelex]

I would like to know what my chances are to get into top MFE programs (CMU, NYU, Columbia, UCLA etc).

Graduated in 2012, majored in Math, GPA 3.56
Had two analyst internships in boutique asset management firms before graduated
More than 2 years of full time working experience in finance industry.
Currently working in a venture capital firm focusing in tech-based start-ups.

Took GRE test few weeks ago and I screwed up.
What are my chances to get into top program with only 160 in GRE quant?

I know how you feel, coming out of the GRE with scores much less than you expected. I remember looking through the tracker and finding this guy who got accepted to NYU MathFin with 160Q, so I just thought I'd share it with you. https://www.quantnet.com/tracker/nyu-mathfin.5162/detail

Thanks for sharing.
Guess I will have to fight against the odds.

Why don't you just retake it and not screw up?

 

[CMU MSCF]

The MSCF admissions process is holistic in nature and we look at multiple application components to assess one’s success academically for the program, not just the GRE score. However, it is a very competitive applicant pool, so would encourage you to review the pre-requisites and class profiles for all the programs for which you are considering against your background. Generally speaking, it’s always recommended that you take the opportunity to shore up any deficiencies in your profile prior to applying where you are able as well as leverage any strengths, such as your professional experiences, in your application.
