Hello everyone,
I am a third-year international student from Vietnam, studying Finance at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania. I plan to attend a PhD program in Finance right after college. My list of schools is as follows:
1. Harvard University
2. Cornell University
3. New York University
4. Syracuse University
5. University of Rochester
6. University of Chicago
7. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
I have research and leadership experience. I published a survey in small businesses in PA with my professor last year. However, I only took prob & stats in college and have no room to take any other math class. I am studying high-level math on my own. I am taking GRE this August. On the trial GRE exam, I got 155 Verbal and 164 Quant.
Do you think I have a shot at those schools? What schools should I drop or add to my list? What could I do to increase the chance of getting accepted?
