  1. Congrates Xanthus! I have also received their unofficial acceptance from UW Madison (quant). So excited by my first offer~ What's more, I have also received an informal interview request from a professor in CMU. It looks like they are sending out invitation this weekend or next week.
  2. I also get an unofficial offer (Quant) from UW today! So happy to receive my first offer (although it is still unofficial). What's more, a professor in CMU wants to talk with me about my application, it seems that they are going to give out interviews next week.
  3. Until now I have received only one... School: UW Madison Track: ​Quant Interview: Next week...
  4. For a lot of situations, CB and quant can tell same stories, but with different methods. I think CB studies mainly focus more on using psychology experiments (not experimental economics experiments), while quant studies on using econometrics or theoretical models. Unfortunately, most of the schools have a clear division between CB and quant, but I know someone who have transferred from CB to quant after admission.
  5. Thanks. I have read some posts on chasedream, but I think most of them have at least a master degree and more research experience than me. Maybe it is one of my potential weakness?
  6. Hi, I am applying (hopefully to a university in the US or Canada) in 2014. Could you please help me evaluate what kind of programs should I apply for?(T10,T10-20,T20-40?) Do you have any advice for my applying? Thank you very much. Undergraduate: Economics and Maths(Double major) in Tsinghua University, China. GPA: 3.87/4 GRE: V163(90%)+Q170(99%)+AW4.5(73%) TOEFL: 112, Speaking:23 Maths courses: ODE, PDE, numerical analysis, mathematical programming, probability theory(based on measure theory), real analysis, linear algebra, calculus, business stats. Econ courses: intermediate micro/macro, econometrics(graduate student level), behavioral economics and some others. Research experience: currently cooperating with two professors on two programs: one CB program with my professor in Tsinghua, one theoretical modelling program with a professor in WUSTL. Awards: Mathematical Contest for Modeling (MCM), outstanding prize (top 11 among 6000+ participants), presented the paper on SIAM Annual Meeting 13. LoRs: Two from the professors I am working with, one or two from course instructors (from Econ dept.). I think they know me very well, but they are not that well-known. Research interests: I prefer theoretical modeling, but empirical modeling is also acceptable. I think studies related to pricing strategies are interesting, but I haven't decided more detailed research interests yet. Some of my target schools are: Duke, Columbia, Stanford, UCSD, WUSTL, CMU. One of my concern is my research experience in CB may not be helpful for applying quant programs. Another problem is that I didn't get high grades in some of the math courses (One of them is extremely low), and I am also not well-trained in computer programming (although I do some programming using Stata and Matlab). Thank you in advance for your inputs.
