Hello,
I have recently considered getting an MBA in order to make a career change. I will be finishing up my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering this summer and would like to get an MBA to improve my chances of getting a position in equity research or possibly a job in a quantitative field in finance.
I have an undergrad gpa of 3.51/4.0 and a graduate gpa of 3.7/4.0. I have some extra curriculars including volunteering at a hospital, as a tutor for inner city kids and volunteering at a charity that provides food for under developed countries.
I am a member of a number of engineering societities and organizations.
With respect to MBA programs I am limited (due to family) to schools in the New York area, i.e. NYU, Columbia and Yale.
My main question is, what GMAT score would I need to be competitive at these schools? Also, is there anything else I can do to strengthen my applications? Also, I have limited work experience outside of academic work during my graduate studies, how will this affect me?
Thank you advance for your help,
M.

thanks for the note. have you tried getting a position in equity research without the mba?
If you feel you need it, then I think you'll have a good shot. You should be shooting for at least a 700, but a 680 would be acceptable.
You need to find tangible benefits that you'd receive from b-school that would help you in equity research that you haven't already received in your academic career. Additionally, you should provide some insight into how your PhD will help you in your new career.
The fact that you're a lifelong academic shouldnt be much of an issue if you can show how an MBA would help. Highlighting your academic interests will be definitely help.
