Hi pqhai, I meant 320, thanks for pointing that out. I did look through the rankings from the site, but do you have any schools you would suggest applying to based on my stats?

Hi all, I am applying for Finance PhD for Fall 2019 and I am becoming increasingly worried that I won't be able to get into the schools I applied for. I have a 3.7 undergrad GPA, 3.5 grad GPA, GRE score of 320, limited research experience, and a TA position. Do any of you know of programs that put less weight on GPA and scores and more on personal statement/LORs? I think my LORs should be pretty good (three business profs) Appreciate the help!
