<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm a senior graduating from Texas A&M with a bachelors in electrical engineering in the spring. I have a 3.2GPA and plenty of work experience. Grad school deadlines are approaching and I'm looking to apply. The problem is, I'm not really interested in going to grad school for electrical.</p>

<p>Can anyone help me with a pick of a non electrical degree? I've been thinking of going in for something like financial engineering and end up being an analyst or consultant.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>so many views and no help? =[</p>

<p>Have you considered operations research? Assuming you have an 800 quant on the gres and decent recs, you should be able to get into a middle ofthe road program.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, due to serious international competition, your gpa alone will prohibit you from getting into a worthwhile financial engineering program.</p>

<p>You could go after an MBA if you want to work in business, however you’d end up leaving engineering career all together.</p>

<p>He’s a senior.
No work experience and very average grades = no MBA .</p>

<p>Oh, I should probably include that. I took the new GRE and my scores are as follows…(they’re out of 170)</p>

<p>Verbal - 160 - 86%
Quant - 168 - 96%
A.Writing - 5.5 - 96%</p>

<p>I’ve also had 2 previous internships and worked under 2 professors who do supply chain.
Since like you said, my GPA isn’t great, what sort of programs(I guess more like where) would be a good place to apply if I was to do something along the lines of operation research or financial engineering?</p>
