Haven't heard from any school yet. The schools on the list in my earlier post are mostly finance, althoguh a few of them are business economics or public policy/finance. While I don't know when these programs usually make their decisions, I know quite well about the Economics programs and believe most of them will send the letters in March. On the economics side, I'm expecting the first to be Duke, then Brown should follow like other posters mentioned. Ram |

One of my friends got accepted to Berkeley's Finance Ph.D. program ~10 days ago. Some also told me he just got in to another really good finance program. I don't know which one, though yet.
The other school was Harvard Business Econ Ph.D., but it was just an interview, not an admit. Last edited by yuppiecon : 02-11-2006 at 12:25 AM. Reason: Automerged post |

This was an email I received on the 14th from Columbia GSB...
"Our Finance and Economics faculty has just about completed its review of all applications for fall 2006 admission. You have passed the first round of reviews and we will make final decisions by the end of this month. If there is any other information not included in your initial application that you would like us to consider, please let us know. " |

hi bamboochiken,
You have an intimidating background. Congratulation to your super admit at Haas Berkeley. I also applied to Columbia School of Business (Phd in Finance and Economics) but haven't heard anything. I guess I am out. Now I think that I may target wrongly this year after reading a lot of super profiles on this test magic forum. Pool of applicants this year is really awesome. best |

Yeap, I exactly share the same feeling. The later posts seem to outperform and bizzare. Now, only very very ... few almost perfect profile (GPA 4.0; 800/800,800/800) could be confident about their chance in Econ / Finance at top 20 programs. By the way, Here is my background: Grad: MS in computational finance field (not very welknown in the US): 4.0 (3 semsters- one more to go) Under: BS in Economics : 3.8 (international) Math Grad: Quant. Method in Finance (mostly stochastic calculus); Numerical Analysis; Real Analysis I; Stochastic Process; PDE (ongoing); Financial Optimization (Ongoing); Topics in ODEs (relavent to finance) A Finance Course may be taken in the list: Dynamic Asset Pricing. Undegrad: (I do not put much weight on this curriculum which is not really good compared to under program in the US) + Econs (many - nothing big): 1 or 2 in econmetrics + Math: Basics courses (around 5 courses, same as other programs) Publications: 2 (I do not believe it has much weight, done in my home country) F.E. Research project relating to stochastic volatilty. I just put an abstract on my resume just to show what I did: (nothing big, not sure that it's good for application ?). L.O.R.: I think they are good (not welknown professors) 2 from Finance & Econ Profs, 1 from Math Prof. Teaching Assistant for Undergraduate: around 2 years in Math Department GRE: 800 quant. : 590 verbal : writing : 4.0 (verbal part is hard for me; i don't have much time for it during my 3rd semster final exam week). S.O.P. is o.k. (given my time budget). Best |
