Please evaluate my chances for 2007

[fledglingQuant]

I currently work as a senior developer with a top investment bank and have over 5+ years overall as a programmer.My stats are as follows-

a) B.E.(Computer Engg)(India- decent school) 1993 GPA 2.7
b) Post-grad diploma in Com. Science at a respected research institute in India.
c) M.S.(Computer Sc.) Temple Univ- Philadelphia GPA 3.4

GRE(1998) Q:780, V:570
GRE(2006) Q:700, V:700

I have good professional recommendations.Currently I'm pursuing a similar course at a local school and am on target for a 4.0 GPA in the first semester.

Now I'm aware my quant scores for the recent GRE attempt are poor and intend taking it again.Question is, what are my chances and would taking the GRE again help?

Thanks

Hi there,
Welcome to Quantnet. I hope you have good reasons to plan to join Baruch from another program.
Your GRE verbal is good, you should not have any problem with any program with that score. Your GRE quant score is a problem however. For Baruch, I suggest you retake it and spend time on the quant section. Aim for 780-800. It's not impossible.

You can transfer courses from the other program to our program provided you have good grades and the courses are relevant.

What are your math and finance background ? I take it that you have good C++ background. If you have time, you can improve on that. Let's take care of the first thing first, the GRE quant. With that score, people may questions your math skills.

Let us know if you have further questions.
Best of luck.

Andy,

Thanks for the reply; as I'd said before, I'm planning on taking the GRE again; my math abilities are rusty since its been some time since I graduated and grad school in Computer Science did not expose me to as much core mathematics as I'd probably need for a quant course.Hopefully that doesnt hurt me too much- I'm certainly willing to undertake refresher courses.I'm not really concerned about transferring courses, just trying to improve my overall profile when I cited that- I'm more concerned about admission.As you said, I'll concentrate on the GRE for now and take it from there.

Thanks!
