S34b34st Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I am planning to apply this winter for admission in Fall 2018 to a finance PhD program. Basics: Undergraduate degree from highly ranked NW state school (finance), cum laude. First year (single variable) calculus. Law degree from same school (T30), top 30% GMAT 780, Q51. Since graduating law school, have worked in a position utilising both legal and business skills. In a role equivalent to associate corporate counsel at a large non-profit organization. Recently, I've taught myself diff eq and enrolled in courses in mathematical reasoning (pre-qualification for real analysis) and linear algebra at the same school I graduated from. I plan to take additional courses in multivariate calculus, real analysis, linear algebra, and statistics/probability before enrolling (but too late to have grades for applications). I have basic R and Python skills and am working at improving upon those I know my lack of formal math courses will hurt me, although I think my GMAT score and enrollment in math courses will help mitigate that somewhat. What are my chances at the top 10 schools? Top 25? Top 40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
