I am international student and I won a scholarship (Fulbright) to study an MS in Finance in the US. I applied to UIUC, the University of Florida and Boston College; so far I have been accepted to the first two. As I know this is a PhD in Business forum, I wanted to ask if you know how hard it is to make the upgrade from a MSF to a PhD in those schools and what would you suggest to do it. Thank you for your help

BTW if it helps, here is my profile:

- Undergraduate: Economics - GPA 83/100; rank 3/47 (International University);
- Undergrad Majors: Mathematical Economics / Finance
- GRE: Q780 V500
- GMAT: 700
- TOEFL iBT: 108
- Teaching Experience: Time Series Econometrics, Mathematical Economics (Undergraduate Courses)
- Work experience: 4 years in the financial industry.
