I have started the preparation of my application to MFE programs in the states and other places around the world. I study Maths and Econ at the LSE in London, expected to gain a borderline First Class Honour degree. (no clue what that converts to in GPA, but according to the WES online tables, I have about 3.67 GPA)
I have done all the maths side of the pre requisites, and Finance and Econ. The statistics part, I am doing in my final year, which is called Probability, Distribution and Statistical Inference ST202. I am not too sure if it satisfies the stats requirement for MFE, but thats the only stats module I can choose to do next year. Regarding to work expereince, I have only had 2 months of Finance internship this summer.
Currently I am preparing for the GRE, aim for 800/500/4.5... I think that should be realistic for me, but is that enough? In addition, Since I dont have much exposure to programming in my university, apart from Maple which I dont think it has much relevance.. I am self learning C/C++ and planning to do an introductry course on it in London.
The schools I am looking to apply next year are Cornell, Columbia, NYU, Baruch, Gatech, UMich, U of T, LSE, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich
As you may see, I am trying to diversify my choices and make sure I get something at the end of the day. Do you guys think those are choices are realistic? Any I should include or exclude? Anything else I can do to strengthen my application? Also, I am very interested in knowing the propects of the Fin Math course at the JHU, if somebody can shed some light on that issue, that would be great.
