Research Experience: Completing Honors Thesis this coming year. Other notable things: - NCAA Division III Lacrosse (Takes up a lot of my time, but I’ve done well here as well (notable awards from it) and we’ve been ranked top 10 nationally for awhile.) - Decided to take a 5th year at the advice of my advisor (when I decided that I wanted to pursue my PHD he told me another major in Math would be best.) Will probably graduate with 150+ credits - Male, Native English Speaker __________________________________________________ ______________________________________ I am wondering if I should be applying to more programs/higher ranked programs? If anyone could give me any advice/recommendations I would appreciate it. My advisor seems to think that I will DEFINITELY get into at least a few of these schools, but I am not as confident. Thanks in advanced. My list is as follows: PHD Finance Rochester UNC Boston College USC Washington U Indiana Arizona State Emory Penn State Vanderbilt Oregon Arizona LSU Virginia Tech UC Irvine Colorado Rutgers Masters Duke Economics Toronto Economics Queens Economics Princeton U Finance MIT Finance University of Rochester Finance UC- Berkely Financial Engineering |
