Hi I have already posted it twice here in the GMATclub but since it is the best thread for the post I m posting it again. Sorry for multiple posts:
I have recently taken the GMAT and scored 740 Q49 V41.
I m in my 4th yr of undergrad-BBA in Accounting. I wanna do a PhD in either Accounting or Finance. My GPA is 3.93/4 and this is the highest GPA in the dept. Do u guys think I stand any chance in top-10, top-20 or perhaps in top-30? I have been very nervous on the GMAT-day and underperformed in Quant. I can easily score 51, at least 50 in Quant. Do u think my Quant 49 will hamper my chances of admission? Do u suggest me to retake for a better Quant score since PhD requires good quantitaive skills and b-school always looks for good quant skills in PhD candidates. In our undergrad, we completed 2 courses on calculus, 2 on statistics, 2 on business maths, 2 on economics. In all these courses I have 4, the highest possible grade
Plz suggest me wht to do. I m in a fix whether to retake the GMAT or not. I expect to get 770 or 780 InshaAllah if I retake. Thanx

My two cents: I'm trying hard, but I just _can't_ put myself in the shoes of Accounting faculty who'd read your application and say "boy, I wish he'd scored 51, but now with 49 he surely is very lousy at math"!
In other words, 740 is great and I think you'd waste your time trying to increase your score by 20-30 points. Being an undergrad in accounting, you have some competitive advantage because you know that stuff already (which most entering PhD students in Accounting don't), but you have to work on your SOP to prove that 1) you have the math/statistics background to succeed at the PhD level (which is awfully harder than GMAT quant), and 2) that you're interested in research. You already have part of 1) nailed but it's likely not enough to _impress_ -- you have the potential to succeed but you have no graduate math courses under your belt yet (real analysis, stochastic calculus, advanced linear algebra..)
Were you planning on Sept. 2006 enrollment? You're past the deadline for most schools in the US. However, if you're looking at Sept. 2007, then you can use next year to take some of these math courses and maybe be a RA for a teacher you had as an undergrad. Good luck!

Hi,
I'm Vivek here. I wish to pursue the PhD programme in the field of Economics at some of the premier institutes in the US in this field.
I do not have sufficient information regarding the colleges, the expectation of the programme at good colleges including the GMAT score and the financial expenses incurred and if any scholarships offered.
Currently I'm working in the software industry since last three yrs in Bangalore, India after having done my Bachelor of Engg.
Please guide in this regard.
thanks.
