Hello everyone, thanks for checking in. I'm presently a penultimate student that wants to study at a top Masters in Finance/Econ program. (oxford/upenn/harvard etc) Below are my stats: =========================================== Current Uni: Chinese University of Hong Kong GRE: 335/340 (165 Verbal) GPA: Still in my penultimate year but will graduate university with around 3.5/4.0 Research: Currently have one with a professor in the management department, though the work is fairly non quantitative and non finance related. I will work on getting a finance research position in the second semester this year. Work experience: Hedge fund working experience. =========================================== I have not taken the GMAT, but should be able to perform fairly well based on the mock exams I've done. I understand that there are many issues to be considered, but what can I do going forward to maximize my chances? Also, will completing the CFA level 1 and 2 / SOA ASA(actuary) programs help? Note: I do not need a scholarship. Would love to hear any insights and suggestions, thanks!
