帮忙看看我申请FINANCE PHD 有没有希望?

cfpl

大家好,

我打算申请05年的Finace Ph.D, 因为我是改专业申请，看到网上说竞争很激烈, 所以心里没有底。特在这里把我的简单情况列出来，希望大家能给一点鼓励和建议，先说声谢谢了.

我的基本情况：

Undergraduate:

School: Non-Famous in China; Major: Physics;  GPA: 86/100

Graduate master 1:

School: Top Univ. in China, Major: Theoretical Physics; GPA: 87/100

Graduate master 2:

School: Top Univ. in Canada, Major: Experimental Physics; GPA: 4.0/4.3

Test: GRE: 2260(taken 3 years ago and no plan to take GMAT)

        TOEFL ~250(Just taken this month, dont know the score yet)

PAPAER : 4 first author physics research papers published in European and American TOP  Journals, All SCI papers.

I do not have any economics background(I only learn some basic economics by myself).

我想问问像我这样的情况能不能申请到Finance Ph.D 的offer. 另外什么样的学校比较适合我？我在做申请材料的时候应该注意什么？我主要担心我没有经济学背景，我9月想选一门经济学的课，但是我没有meet pre-requisites 而选不上，很郁闷。去旁听对申请好像也没有什么帮助。

希望大家能给一点建议，有没有和我类似情况的申请成功的？

谢谢！

怎么没有人理我啊？

自己顶一下！

行行好,给点砖头吧, 好可怜啊

但是进入那个行业也不容易啊, 您说的应该是因90年代初的情况了, 现在我们想进入都很难了.

不过我到是对研究比较感兴趣, 只是希望自己的研究对社会的用途更直接一点., 所以才想着转社会科学的. FINANCE 是我的首选.

但是我心里一点底都没有.

Thank lesleijy for your encourage!

Yes, I agree with what you said. The only thing that I care is that how I can be admitted to a finance ph.d program. I dont know if there is some one who has similar background as mine got finance offer recently.

But I still want to have a try, no matter how difficult it may be.

Thank you both lesliejy and GigaGem

I will follow your advice.  But I am not sure if I can gain enough finance knowledge in a short period of time to Taoci. Actually, I am trying to register one intermediate microeconomics this term and possibly will take the macroeconomics next term.

Is there any good ways to learn finance knowledge other than textbook?

Thanks a lot!

Well, I am not quite sure which I prefer since I know very little about them. My intuition is that I prefer coporate finance or risk management.

BTW, which finance academic journals that you recommand me to read? Is any one can be freely downloaded from internet?

Thanks,
