马上4/15了,天天蹲家里上班挺闲,来总结一下申请,谈一些自我感受。
时间线:
- G和TOEFL都过期了,so。。
- 10月:开始准备G
- 11月:考G(没挤出时间考TOEFL)
- 11月下:准备PS+CV,光速选校(see below)
- 11月底:拿着application的draft package,找硕士教授聊推荐信(2 econ,1 math)
- 12月~1月中:按照due date申请
- 1月底~4/15:开始面试,来offer,拒面试,拒offer,不停被拒。。
选校思路:
- can waive TOEFL for me。。
- 东部的tire 1 & 2(事实证明should save money for tire 1。。apply tire 2 only)
- 中部CU Boulder,Utah(easy to go ski。。)
- 西部UCSD(感谢当年给了stat的硕士,虽然没去,回报一个申请费。。)
- 相信上面范围的学校都能有match我的老师,所以选校有点简单粗暴。。初期没看教授研究领域
背景及结果:
- 陆本(econ 3.6),美硕(金工 3.9),工作(less than 3 years)
- 本科有RA经历,但是本科教授说我已经硕士了,还是找硕士教授比较好,然而硕士就业导向无RA经历。。anyway没有solid RA都是泪
- Offer with interview: Florida, Rochester
- Offer without interview: CU Boulder (side note, 3 real estate/house finance AP in Boston/Stanford/likely UCLA will leave their current school and join Boulder), Utah
- Withdraw from interview: CUNY Baruch, GSU (both are good, withdraw due to personal preference, no offence to anyone in these schools)
-【All others rejected without interview】
一些感受/建议:
- Never too late no matter where you are in your career, but better to prepare early
- TOEFL过期也考一个,不然有些学校没机会申
- 可能工作后口语进步了,给面试的都给了offer(except主动withdraw),如果这方面不够自信,请提前prepare,practice,tell story with your degree or experience
- 没有solid RA的,也最好找找这样的机会(工作党可以找找part time RA,看看这位楼主的帖子 https://forum.chasedream.com/thread-1364461-1-1.html)
- 实在没有solid RA的机会,talk more with your professors so they can write a better letter,and do your best in all other parts
最后附上之前整理的一些美国Finance PhD学校,download yourself if it may help you,save your time to focus on other parts of your application。
