  1. I hold an international bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science and I want to apply to PhDs in Stats in the US. I work in the industry and nowadays there is a big movement to combine machine learning to traditional actuarial/statistical techniques (which is quite interesting) and I intend to tailor my research in this direction. Probably analyzing health insurance data to calculate premiums in more individualized way (or something similar). I'm looking to universities in the US that have a more applied stats department where I can apply for my PhD e develop such kind of research. Also, I don't know if I have good grades for that. I receive my bachelor degree from the best university in Latin America and best in my country. There, grades vary from 0 to 10, being 5 the passing grade. I scored, overall, 7.1. It's is considered to be top 100 universities in the world in Stats/Math subjects, according to these universities rankings.
  2. Hi, I'm from Brazil and I want to apply for a master in finance but I don't where. There are a lot of universities and I don't where I have a good chance. Could someone, please, advice me? I intend to apply to top schools (KU Leuven, ANU, University of Melbourne) but I think that my profile is not very good. GPA: 6.6/10 (it's a C) TOEFL ibt: 103 GRE/GMAT: I didn't take it yet Undergraduate: Top school in Brazil. It's the number 1 university in Latin America, 158th THE World Ranking, 101-150th ARWU World Ranking, 139th QS Top Universities. I took 3 semesters in Political Science (Is it a minor?) Exchange: I studied for one semester in Belgium (I'm fluent in French). Also, I worked for 2 months as volunter in Romania by AIESEC. Research: Undergraduate research and final paper (thesis). Publications: None Extra Curricular Activities: I learned french, I practice rowing for 1 year at university, I did some courses on Coursera and I worked as volunter teacher in Brazil. Work Experience: 3 years in top companies. I'm thinking in retaking TOEFL and I don't know what would be a good grade in GRE, for my profile.
