请大家指点我该走的路。。。

我一点都不怀疑我确实想读PhD，除非中间发生很大的变故，
理工科出身，PKU小本，成绩还凑合，主要学些什么PDE啥的。。。数学还不错，
刚刚考了GMAT 760+5.5，
但是其实我知道我自己懂得得并不多，只是听过几门课，听朋友说我适合读这个，
偷偷的自己也这样子认为，
现在在申请，申请了香港的所有的学校的finance的Mphil，但是也知道希望不大。。。如果我是commitee，可能也不会要自己吧。。。。

我还是很希望最终的目标是去米国的名校读PhD的，但是这中间的路，或者说中间的连接，
我不知道该怎样的过渡，所以我想听听牛牛的看法。。我现在徘徊在这里，不知道该怎么走下去。。。

背景不错，不知道你GPA有多少，以及你自己喜欢读什么，不是说理工背景的就一定要申请金融，完全看你自己的兴趣

Why finance PhD? You can also consider Singapore's research master.

没看懂楼上说的，
我也申了NTU，但是只让大陆学生申PhD。。

GPA不高，3，5+吧。。。rank还说得过去，15%左右。。

Hey, I think your background is very good. Try some Econ master program in the U.S. if you an afford it. You can refer to the case of faustxlh who just got the offer from Cornell.
Good luck.

I must say that the competition is extremely intense in the decent Finance Ph.D. program applications.

I will suggest you to apply for a Master degree in Math, Statistics, or Economics in a "top" U.S. school first. Hopefully, you can get some scholarship from these programs.....

After you are enrolled in these program, you should get a solid training in math, statistics, & economics, Ph.D. level courses will be a plus. And, high grades are necessary. Please also pay attention to the courses provided by famous professors, since your recommendation letters will rely on them. The shining name of referees will be very, very important.

I also suggest you to do some original research, or research assistant work in related areas you are interested in if you have a chance, you can actively discuss such issues with the prof.s when you are in these schools. Before you contact these Prof.s, please do do your homework, such as, reading their papers and related papers etc.

Then, please polish your spoken english. That's essential.

Good Luck. Regarding to your Mphil. application in HK, I believe you have a very good chance.

Don't apply Master in Econ in US if you want to pursue a PhD. Go to Canada, where the programs are much better and you also can afford it.

Most of Master in Econ in US are professional orientied. In Canada, they are academic oriented.

那个人的背景强的超乎想象。呵呵绝对不像他自己写出来的那样虽然那个背景也很不错了呵呵。

就这个贴大家说说国内本科生申请博士的路径吧。

似乎直接申请到应该是奇迹了。

我目前还申了亚太地区的硕士和欧洲的硕士。对于今后的路也挺困惑的呢。

我周围的人一直力促我读美国的硕士。可是我觉得美国的硕士费用过高而且对研究能力的培养似乎不是那么理想就像georgeqiangg说的那样。

大家也帮我出出注意吧。

关键是本科生研究能力很有限。硕士阶段的学习可以拓展你的思维，这是最主要的。没必要盯着研究能力不放，思维才是主要的
