Hello guys, I would like to know your opinion about my future graduate studies. First of all, I am a European student, studying finance at a non target university (final year). I was thinking of going for a phd in econometrics/finance/economics at a good university in the US, given that they will give me a scholarship (covering tuition and living expenses). I have good grades but I haven't taken the GRE/GMAT yet. So I am planning to enter the MSc/ PhD in 2014 (fall).

I don't know if I can get into a top 10 program like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Chicago, NYU, MIT, Yale, UPenn, Northwestern. Do you think that schools like Michigan, Duke, University of California San Diego, McGill, Maryland, Rochester, Illinois Urbana Champaign, John Hopkins, Texas at Austin, Boston University, Rochester, City University of New York, George Washington University are good choices? I want so much to go and work at an investment bank( mainly quant roles or S&T or Research)/hedge fund/Asset Management etc after the phd, so is it possible with the schools above? I am Interested in working in Europe or USA.
Thanks for your insight!
