Nationality: Indian
Age: 28
GMAT: 660/82% (Q48/82%, V32/64%) - AWA: Still to receive.
Education:
1) Graduate: MBA Finance from ICFAI Business School Hyderabad - mediocre B-School in India
GPA : 7.49/10
2) Undergraduate: Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela - One of the premier engineering schools in India.
Scored: 72% (not percentile), 2nd Position in the batch.
Work Ex:
(1) 2 years (after undergrad) as Assistant Manager Production with India's largest cement producer.
(2) More than two years (after MBA) as Research Analyst: commodities with India's largest propriety trading firm. The firm trades derivatives in commodities, interest rate products, stocks indices and currency that are traded at world's most active exchanges.
Goals:
To attend 1-2 yrs program in Financial Engg.
To extend my current exposure to more specialized field of quantitative finance and later to join a trading firm or a bank (trading desk) as a quantitative analyst.
Schools:
CARNEGIE MELLON : MATER IN CONPUTATIONAL FINANCE
Bendheim Center for Finance at Princeton University : Maters in Finance
BARUCH COLLEGE : MASTER PROMRAM IN FIN ENGG
HASS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS : MASTER OF FIN ENGG
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AT ILLINOIS: Master of Science in Finance Program
RUTGERS BUSINESS SCHOOL : MATER OF QUANTITAVE FINANCE
I know that my GMAT score is not as high as it should be. But I also feel that a past experience in a trading firm and an Engg+MBA Finance background, can boost my chances in Financial Engineering course. I am also considering retaking GMAT, I can increase my quants score to 49-50.
What do you think are the chances of my admission?

At the moment you seem to be competitive for Baruch and Rutgers. You'll need to get that quant score up to be competitive for the other programs. About year ago, a close friend of mine wasn't able to get into Princeton ( Bendheim) with a near perfect GMAT and stellar GPA from an Ivy league school. If you wan't to get into a prop desk at a top-tier Investment bank / trading firm; Princeton and CMU are the two programs that can get you there even in a stagnant job market.

Thanks a lot.
I am keenly interested for Baruch, but on their website they have mentioned the average GMAT score of 704 (Q 50, V 34.4) for admitted students for fall 2010. Won't that be a hurdle for me?
