I am a senior Chinese students graduating in May. I took my college in US. So far, I have taken a GRE test and got V156/Q167 with a GPA of 3.3. I will be able to get my GPA up to 3.4 by the time I graduate (my first year of GPA is only 2.3, I am trying to improve it ever since). My finance GPA is 4.0 (12 hours by the end of this semester) and my math is 3.9 (15 hours by the end of this semester). I had one internship but that was about international business. With the current grades, do I have the chance to get into a first tier MFE program?

Also, I am thinking about retake GRE to get my V up to 160 and Q up to 170. Will this score help my application a lot?
 
I am a Business Major with a double concentration in Finance/accounting. I also have a math minor covers calculus, linear algebra, differential equation, probability and statistics

I already checked the Tracker, but I was wondering how important are the major GPAs especially the ones direct relates to MFE.
