Click on "View Checklist" and it is under "Application Status" at the very top.

It just says "Ready for Review" lol

Me. Nothing from Wharton, no WL/Interview/Rejection emails.

MIT just gave out an offer on gradcafe and no interviews apparently for finance :/

Has anyone heard much regarding finance phds?

Thanks everyone! I have enrolled in time series. Looking forward to it. Really appreciate all the advice.

Thanks setsanto! How about time series analysis instead of complex analysis? Do you think that would be more beneficial?

Hi all, new user here. I am from Australia and have just finished my honours year of my undergraduate degree (essentially like a masters but shortened to a 1 year research intensive degree). I am planning to apply to top 10-20 finance PhD programs in the U.S. My question is regarding the signalling aspects of maths units on your transcript. I have done a multitude of maths/statistics units throughout my degree, the units I have done include: (note: I scored 90+ for all of these units and for the majority of them I received the unit prize for being the top scorer). -Techniques for modelling (essentially undergraduate calculus) -Discrete mathematics -Multivariate calculus -Linear algebra with applications -Algebra and number theory -Probability and statistical inference -Introductory econometrics (essentially mathematical statistics) -Principles of econometrics (essentially covers all rigorous proofs related to MLE) -Bayesian time series analysis -Real analysis (both second year and third year) -Random and stochastic processes Do you think these units are enough for signalling aspects? I am asking this because next semester I want to take Differential equations (ODEs) and Complex analysis, however I am not sure how much marginal benefit these two extra maths units will provide in terms of signalling. In terms of practicality, I am already quite knowledgeable in both topics but I want to know whether it is worth it to do them simply for the high mark on the transcript. Keep in mind that doing these two units will eat into my research time. Therefore the question is: is it worth it doing those two units or should I focus on research and submit papers to journals? Thank you everyone!
