  1. Take everything I say with a ton of salt since I'm an applicant myself (a business applicant to make it worse). From what I've read about PhD admissions, your age won't be a problem and not having done your M.Sc from a top 5 university shouldn't be a problem either. A top 10 UK university would mean that it was an amazing university. Doing a second bachelors while working, regardless of the university's ranking, would be more helpful to your application than anything else. It would likely be seen as you trying to improve you mathematical knowledge and also show that you have good time management skills etc. Getting good grades in your graduate econ courses should make up for bad undergrad grades. It'll show that you've improved. Can't really say anything about where you should apply, but to help those who can say anything about it, you should mention your research interests and how well known your professors are. Best of luck!
  2. Bachelors in Accounting & Finance from unranked South Asian university. Had an exchange semester in the United States at an unraked university. Masters in Finance from Western European university (top 100 university and the program is top 50 in financial times). Not a lot of Math in bachelors (single variable calculus and matrix algebra). Two undergraduate courses in Statistics and one in Econometrics. One graduate course in Financial Econometrics. Took MOOCs in multivariable calculus, differential equations, stochastic processes, machine learning, and bayesian statistics. With regards to schools, the choice is because of a few factors; no preference for location, financial constraints (sending official transcripts/WES evaluated transcripts will be expensive), trying to apply to a wide range, and some others. For Stevens I'm applying to the Business Administration program and not the financial engineering one.
  3. Thank you for any help and suggestions that you can give!
  4. May be this will help "http://businessphdwiki.com/doku.php". There are a few SOPs in the google drive mentioned on the page. They are all business SOPs though.
