YaSvoboden Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I don't have a ton to say based on this. Overall, things look fine. Everything is decent but nothing stands out as extraordinary. Undergrad GPA is a little low. How were your grades in math, econ, and finance classes? How are your letters of recommendation? Anyone well published in finance? I think you should concentrate on top 50 with some top 20 thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
