标题: 拿到一个phd,再申请finance phd 的可能?
我在美国一个二流学校将拿到数学的phd, 主修数学金融. 我想知道以这样的背景申请一个top的finance phd的可能性有多大.

多谢!!!!!

听说金融很喜欢有强数学背景的人．好运．．．

你不嫌书读的不够啊，2个phd加起来快10年了哦……

对阿，可以申到的可能性非常大

你要是打算做research不嫌时间长，就可以申

it depends on how you define "top school" and also your research result.

you have a great chance based on the data I have. but who knows. I have a few friends who made to top school Finance PHD this year. They have Math PHD from top 10 schools in US.

you can always write to funnytiger@softhome.net

one thing: I am not a PHD student, I am just a person like many people in this forum - interested in pursuing a PHD in the future.

PhD is a commitment to research, especially top 15 school. if you think you enjoy the pleasure of research and teaching, you should try and I think you have a good chance to succeed.

However, you may also aware that, at least for 2004 applicantion, the competition is so fierce that I only see a couple of our fellows have made it. Besides your current fine backgound in Math, I think if you can get at least of two strong recommendation from your supervisors, they would add value to your applications. last but not least, as you have step into mathematical finance for a PhD study, you may have either published some papers or you may have some interests in specific topic as in assets pricing, corporate finance, or market microstucture. then approaching the relevant professor right now.

One of my professors told me, PhD graduates from the top 30 school in finance are very likely to secure a place upon your graduation. therefore, in terms of get a job in the states, you need not have to go top 10. another reason I suggest you widen your selection is even a perfect applicant may fail if she/he only stares at the top 10. Let me give you an example, in 2003 season, a guy with Cambridge math under, Oxford MPhil in Economcis(similiar to first and second year PhD course in states), flawness GPA, and very strong recommendations, all of his recommenders believe he would be in. he only applied for top 8, maybe slightly different from our perspective, but definitely included our top choises. you guess what, all out. even not in a waiting list. why, becasue there are so many excellent applicants that the admissions committee has to make a random-walk selection among the qualified applicants. only personal opinion, good luck!!

Appreciate!!!

我一直有一个疑问:如何和教授联系? 到底有没有用呢!?

是不是只能和每所学校的一个教授联系? 你怎么知道他在招人? 真的要像介绍说的要在写信时谈出你对此领域有很独特的认识,很好的idea? 我在想如果你在这个领域真的很懂的话,干吗还要去学呢? 写信时都要写什么呢?

多谢!

wow, this is very interesting. I believe if you have some research experience under the belt, you may never say that again
