My gre scores were Quant 163(85th percentile) Verbal 145(26th percentile) Analytical writing : 3.5

My aim was to pursue a Financial Engineering masters at Columbia OR NYU .. Should I consider applying with these scores, or will it be a very tough shot ?

Setting your sights on an Ivy League-level graduate instruction? All things considered, in case you're going for top colleges, GRE scores will have an influence in your acknowledgment. So where do you stand with regards to the best colleges?
GRE scores for top colleges will fluctuate crosswise over projects, however the normal GRE scores by school for these best graduate program could conceivably run between 145-170 on both Verbal and Quantitative, with midpoints in the 160s for the exceptionally top graduate projects. Keep in mind that the Verbal and Quantitative parts of the GRE have a score extend between 130-170, and the normal GRE score for is around 151 for Verbal and 152-153 for Quant.

I took my GRE recently

1st Attempt Quant-163/170 Verbal-150/170

2nd attempt Quant -165/170 Verbal- 147/170

I have about 7 years of Experience as an application developer in various financial institutions in Investments & Capital Markets division.

Also I'm a U.S.Army Veteran, and now with the U.S.Army Reserves.

I have a M.S in Computer Science from a State University in the U.S.

I'm trying to get into Masters in Financial Engineering @ Columbia or NYU.

What are my possibilities?

I am taking my GRE again anyways but with the above stats what are my possibilities?
