let me put it in this way: 不论adcom看不看gmat成绩,gre成绩是必须的。也就是说,如果你有一个非常exceptional的gmat成绩,i.e. 770,put it on your CV, I don't think it's completely useless. 但是gre成绩是必须要有。
or里面的核心课:stochastic models对应fe的Stochastic Models for Financial Engineering,deterministic models对应fe的Optimization Models and Methods for Financial Engineering,simulation对应fe的Monte Carlo Simulation。当然FE的课程更专于finance,难度也更大。相应的,FE对申请人的数学背景更看重。
