国内211金融本，3.8/4，美国金工硕，3.7/4，GRE 330
本科一段很水的RA和硕士的一段RA经历，无paper，TA经历若干

Utah

Right, University of Utah is the best among the four!

The Utah program is middling-ranked overall but obviously is a rising star. The UCONN program ranks similarly as the Utah program, but has been going down all the way in recent years. The UMASS program currently ranks below the other two although it is striving to do better.

对，Utah University 比 UCONN 高半档，比 UMASS-Amherst 高一档。
