16年左右吧 想早做规划啊
学校档次倒没有特别关注,想申请金融工程,数理金融或数学类的博士
I am using a public computer in the U.S. So I am not able to type in any Chinese characters.
1. Financial engineering is mostly master programs, 2 years, not research-based. totally different from a PhD program.
2. If you are applying to finance/econ/math PhD programs, GRE is not very important since schools only look at quant part and writing part, verbal part is not essential. Hence no need to spend large amount of time on vocabulary and reading (verbal).
3. Most important thing for PhD application is letter of recommendation. If possible, recommenders should be professors from the U.S. If you can secure a letter from a big name in academia, you can get into most of the programs in the u.s.
also, your own research experience is very important. But given that you are now doing a PhD, I think you already have stronger research background than most of the applicants.
