  1. Hi Brief profile: GPA: 3.48, Masters in electrical engineering at a top school (minor: OR) GRE: Q: 170 V: 162 AWA: 4.0 TOEFL: 120 on 120 (international grad) Current occupation: analyst at a leading investment bank (reason to study further: love for applied math, I feel that more graduate work would help in this line of work in finance) Applications: MIT ORC (MS) Princeton ORFE (MSE) Columbia OR/FE (MS) Cornell ORIE (M. Eng with specialization in FE) Berkeley OR (M.Eng) Am I being too ambitious with the above choices? What are the odds of my making it to the above? Any other good programs that you think I should consider? Thanks in advance! Cheers
  2. Oops, weirdly enough, I didn't realise for so long that there was a reply on the thread. Thanks a ton for taking the time, argo360!! And congrats on your admit I decided to wait it out at the job and apply for Fall 2015, instead. And you're right; I'm more interested in the math/applications of math that the field provides. And yes, I would be applying to programs specializing in finance as well. And thus the countdown to the admission deadlines begins again!!! Cheers!
  3. Hi! I graduated with an Integrated masters in engineering 6 months ago from one of the top schools in India and currently work with a bulge bracket investment bank as an analyst. As an engineering grad, this is my first exposure to banking/economics. Of late, I've developed a lot of interest in economics in general and would like to pursue a graduate course in econometrics, in particular. The program at LSE seems interesting. Few questions: Is a bachelors in economics essential? Apart from LSE, what other schools globally are reputed for this field? And given my profile, what are the chances of getting in (assuming I apply for Spring 2014 - too late? LSE seems to follow the rolling admissions procedure) Relevant details: GPA: 3.50/4.00. Yet to take the GRE, I've done quite a few courses in math at uni (including multi-dimensional calculus, advanced probability and statistics, stochastic process, linear algebra, complex analysis) Any advice in this regard is highly appreciated!!! Cheers!
