I start thinking about applying to finance Phd. I don't really know where to start. This is my profile so far:
Undergrad: Economic, Finance, and math minor (U of Northern Iowa)
Undergrad gpa: 3.98
Grad:Economics (Iowa State U)
Grad gpa: 3.38 (I know, it looks really badddddddddd)
Certificate: CFA level2 candidate (keep my finger cross that I will pass level 2)
Teaching Excellence Award from Iowa State
GRE: math 800 verbal 370(very bad) writing 3.5
I guess my problem is my verbal score and low verbal GRE. I do speak english fluently, but the score shows otherwise. I do not know if I should take TOEFL to show that(I took this 5 years ago,and i got 577).
Also, do you think what kind of school I should apply for, ranking about 30-50? Does PhD in Finance usually have full scholarship?
Please help me where should I start. Do I have a chance to get in Phd with scholarship?
