fushira8899 · 发表于 2012-8-6 09:37:02

看了很多关于申请的帖子，还是不知道自己这样的背景该如何定位。所以，想请教大家帮忙看一下我的背景，看该选择什么样的学校~谢谢了~

目标：申请PhD in Finance
背景：本科：加拿大的一所学校，专业是Actuarial Science and Statistics, GPA: 3.6
研究生：同一所学校，专业：Statistics， GPA：78% 左右
G/T：目前还没有考过
研究经验：做过2个RA，但是都是偏生物统计方面的
兴趣：金融risk management，asset pricing之类的

想请教一下，我这样的背景应该把自己定位在什么样的学校？在此谢谢大家了~

GPA稍微低了点，GMAT如果能上700应该可以冲一下。加拿大的学校如果是那几所很top的也会加分，否则优势不大。我觉得可以在加拿大本地试试，以本校的金融博士为主攻方向。

想请问楼上所谓加拿大top的几所是指哪几所？冲一下是指冲什么排名的学校？

如果本科是多伦多，UBC或者Mcgill, Waterloo可能会好一点吧，这些学校在美国还是有一定声誉的。我觉得你试试本校比较好，或者在加国内部陶陶瓷

78%？均分？

Your Master GPA is too low to satisfy most of the phd programs admission criteria (I mean phd programs in north ameircan, including canada). Basically, 3.5/4.0 (for graduate work) is the bottom line for being considered for admission, whereas 3.8 is safe. I think 78% is far less than 3.5, right?

Better consider schools in Australia or UK perhaps.

I think it is around 3.00.
By the way, is it true that my master's GPA ruined my every chance to get an offer from universities in US? My undergraduate grade or RA experience don't account for anything?

I would say the chance is very tiny; probably my saying sounds too straightforward, but i believe it is the fact to the best of knowledge.

You are from SFU. right? Perhaps you may try its phd finance program, since you did all of your previous degrees there, which is to some extent to your benefit to apply. For US, better do not waste your money and time on it.

你有相当的统计方面的背景，finance特别喜欢；而且也不怎么在意GPA. 我认为你GMAT上700，怎么都可以进top 10.
