I can't really answer your question because I'm not applying to the same type of programs, but I thought it was crazy how similar our backgrounds were (except you edging me out on everything lol). You're a math major with economics minor, I'm a mathematical economics major. You got a 162/170/4.5 on GRE I got 161/169/4.0. You worked as a tutor at your university math lab for 3 years, I worked at mine for 2.5 years. And we both have no industry experience or internships.
Sorry if this is random but it striked and irked me when I read your post haha.

I think making vocab lists is really beneficial. I only gave myself 3 weeks to prepare for the GRE and went from a 148 on my first practice to a 161 pretty much solely by making and memorizing vocab lists.

Hello all. I’m entering my senior year of undergrad and want to pursue an MFE, MMF, MQF, etc after graduation. I was hoping I could get some advice/criticism on my profile.
University of Central Florida – 3.58 GPA
Mathematics major – Economics track
Computer Science minor
GRE: 169Q, 161V
Relevant Coursework:
Calc I, II (AP credit)
Stat Methods I (AP)
Calc III, (A)
Ordinary Differential Equations (B)
Logic and Proof in Math (B+)
Matrix and Linear Algebra (B)
Linear Algebra (A)
Stat Theory I (A)
Stat Theory II (B)
Intro to C (A)
Computer Science I (A-)
Econometrics (A)
Intermediate Microeconomics (A)
Intermediate Macroeconomics (A)
International Microeconomics (B)
Future Relevant Coursework:
Probability Random Processes
Abstract Algebra
Advanced Calculus
Financial Mathematics
Computer Science II
Mathematical Economics
International Macroeconomics
Programming experience: Python, C, Java, Assembly, Stata
No relevant internships or research experience
Programs that I’m interested in: Columbia MAFN, Columbia MSOR, Cornel MFE, Stanford MCF, Georgia Tech QCF, Toronto MMF, Rutgers MQF, UIUC MFE, USC MSMF. I plan on applying to 6-8 of those schools once I do more extensive research and (hopefully) get feedback from this post. Particularly, I would like opinions on how high I should “reach” in regards to applying to the top programs without it just being a waste of money/time. I know my lack of work/research experience and where I studied undergrad will be the weakest areas that will be on my application
Any insight/advice/criticism is greatly appreciated.
Submitted Applications 2016 Entry
in Waiting it Out
Posted
Finished 4/5 applications last week. First deadline was yesterday and my 3rd LOR finally got submitted today. I know the one day is nothing to worry about, but it's so nice not to have to worry about it anymore. Only thing left is to do a short video for Georgia Tech and the long wait will begin. Good luck everyone!
