did you apply for the risk management program at wharton?

作者: hisiko1980 时间: 2007-1-16 07:04
No, but applied for GSU. And you?

No, it is just that i am now a risk mgmt major in college. I went to Wharton as an exchange student last year. Their risk mgmt program is petit but awesome. So I was wondering is there anybody applying to that program.

因为偶住在佐治亚所以就近选了GSU,据说这个PROGRAM也是前5的.去年好像是200个人录取2个.今年似乎他们已经开始看资料了虽然截至日子还没到. WHARTON的这个专业是全美第一,偶就不用浪费申请费啦.

What do you wanna say, tingschu? Can you explain a bit? thanks.

One of the professors at Insurance and Risk Mgmt, I believe is Alexander Muermann, once said to us in class-- risk mgmt is a petit (small)department...and virtually almost the smallest in terms of faculty size in Wharton. But I think their program is really good, almost as good as finance, esp the faculty--nice and supportive.

Hehe, Alex is a great guy, unfortunately he is leaving after this semester. Are you applying for RMI Phd. at Wharton this year?

作者: tingschu 时间: 2007-1-23 21:36

What?! Alex is leaving...He is so nice and so handsome...

Where is he going?

作者: tingschu 时间: 2007-1-23 21:42

No, I am not applying to INSR...I am applying to BPUP instead...but it seems BPUP doesn't take in as many phd students each year as in other departments at Wharton.

Timothylu, do you know whether BPUP admitted Chinese student before? I kinda regret now...I should have applied to INSR, after all, INSR is my major at college...eeeks.

I am not very familiar with BPUP, though I think it is safe to say that there are not as many Chinese students at BPUP as there are in INSR, But on the other hand, there probably aren't as many Chinese applicants either, and your Wharton experience might be a big plus. There were rumors that Wharton is planning to combine some small Phd. programs (including BPUP and INSR) into one Applied Econ Phd., but no timetable is set yet.

BTW: "Dr. Handsome" is going back to Europe..

Thank you so much for your information, Timothy. I also hope I can join Wharton this fall...but my my GRE score is really really ugly (I had only one week to prepare for it. You could imagine what kind of disaster I am talking about...)

So I wasn't even sure whether I could pass the secretary to let the faculty review my application...sigh...

Anyhow, enjoy your life at Penn!

You are very welcome. GRE usually don't play a significant role in admission decision, so don't worry too much. Good luck! Hope to see you at Wharton in Fall.
