Hi everyone. I graduated from Rutgers University with a cumulative GPA of 3.5/4.0 in two majors: Math and Economics. I interned for 6 months as an actuarial assistant and I now work at a boutique private equity firm. I want to apply to a list of Financial Engineering/Mathematics programs I’ve looked into, but I really don’t know where I would stand. I put together the following list of schools: Rutgers Newark, Rutgers New Brunswick, Stevens University, Fordham University, and Baruch College. I plan to work long enough to comfortably pay for the program. Many of my undergraduate professors have mentioned that paying out of pocket increases your chances of acceptance. Also, I have received recommendation letters from various professors who have attended programs from Stevens University and Rutgers New Brunswick. I’d appreciate anyone who can guide me through my credentials and recommend anything to help being admitted.

Hi! I am a student at Rutgers University- New Brunswick, majoring in Mathematics (pure track) and Economics. I am a rising senior, looking to work for a few years before applying to graduate programs. My GPA stands at a 3.61, and if extracurricular activities matter: I am part of a social fraternity (Phi Delta Theta) and I am also a member of the Honor Council (help make code of conduct decisions). I've made a list of schools I am interested in applying to. Some are reach schools, others more attainable. Here is the list: · Rutgers University · University of Southern California · University of California Los Angeles · Stevens University · NYU (School of Engineering) · NYU (School of Mathematical Sciences) · Fordham University If anyone who has been accepted to one of these programs would like to share their credentials and possibly give some advice, it would be much appreciated. Or if you attended a program similar (maybe something in Economics or Finance) to Financial Engineering and would like to give some insights, that would also be cool. I'm not set on anything and have some time, so I'm all open ears. Thank you!
