Hi, everyone!

A couple of years ago I got my MSc degree in Maths and my GPA is tremendously about 3.3/4. Currently I am working in a commercial bank in financial market department and I am longing to become a quant.

Do I still have a chance to get accepted to MQF and/or PHD programs?
What is the minimum GRE Math score that can leverage the GPA?
Is the GRE General Verbal Score important? What are the minimum acceptable scores (some years ago I had Q 800 V 320 A 4.0 - but that was about 4 years ago)?
 
Those scores are valid for 5 years. You should apply before they expire unless you want to take it again.
 
That's not a terrible GPA. Mine is 3.32/4 in engineering, but then I got an MS stats with a 3.81 (and it didn't help much =P)
 
@ IlyaKEightSix What do you mean your MS stat GPA didn't help much? Do you mean when getting a job? More light on this would be appreciated.
