Any help guys? I would also appreciate any advice on which Master programs I might have a better chance of getting in. Thank you. Anthony

@ANDS: Thank you for your answer. At this point I have preference to do work, so I guess that's tipping more towards a Masters. And yes, I completely forgot about Linear Algebra (got an A+) . I did take the upper level Linear Algebra course at my school. Measure Theory is considered the second semester analysis at my school. Thanks

Hi all, I just want to ask for everyone's opinion on which type of program I should apply to. An upfront disclaimer is that I won't be applying for at least the next two years as I am joining one of the top Economics Consulting firms in June after graduation and intend to stay there for at least two years. In any case, here are my stats: School: One of the top liberal arts schools in the US Major: Mathematics and Economics; Pursuing honors thesis with the Mathematics department. My thesis focus on the statistical analysis of the long memory property in stock volatilities. Cumulative GPA: 3.94. Major GPA: 4.00 Relevant Coursework in Math: Introduction to Analysis A+ Mathematical Statistics A+ (placed out of Probability Theory) Time Series Analysis A+ (Placed out of Intermediate Statistics (Regression Analysis)) Mathematical Finance A+ Applied DE for Finance A Currently taking Measure Theory Relevant Coursework in Economics: Advanced Econometrics A Dynamic Macroeconomics (essentially Macroeconometrics) A Currently taking Evaluating Social Policy (essentially Microeconometrics) I haven't taken the GRE yet but plan to do so in early June before I start work. As is probably obvious, my interest lies in the intersection between statistics and finance. What school tier should I aim for? How much chance do you think I will have if I apply for a PhD? I am leaning towards the Master now just because I don't have much academic research experience. In all of my past summers I've been working in various capacities for the investment banks. Would appreciate any advice & feedback. Best regards, Anthony
