Hi Coldplay241, Shimri from ARINGO here Your profile seems great, but your GRE is probably too low for these degrees (unless you come from some sort of extraordinary background or minority the school hasn't seen before) I suggest you invest more time in the GRE and get it higher. Shools usually will look for a 600+ GMAT / ~315+ GRE score as a minimum, even for impressive candidates like you Or, go for programs that offer a GRE waiver. in both cases, a top-notch application will be needed (We can help with that

if interested, please contact me on shimriw@ARINGO.com) Happy holidays Shimri

Hello,

For me, it's an easy pass for all of the mentioned schools.

Coldplay241 :

I agree with my colleagues. The standardized test component is an issue for these programs.

You have some interesting experiences on your resume, but is there a "story" behind it? Can you unite them around some common theme/goal? When you're ready to apply, that'll be important to creating a narrative for your profile. Without it, I'd be concerned that your profile will not stand out.

Hey Coldplay241,
you have a strong resume, but your GRE scores are a bit low.
For you to get admitted to top universities for an MFin degree, you would require a minimum of 200+ on your quantitative section, which may be beneficial but would recommend you to aim to score 300+ to maximise your chances.
Prepare for GMAT also as if you score low on GRE, you can still send in your GMAT results.
I would also recommend volunteering. Volunteering will shine on your resume. Your profile is already good. You need to sum it all up in a strong essay and SOP and work on your GMAT and GRE.
If you need assistance regarding any step of the application process, we can set up a strategy session with you according to your convenience.
