楼上建议比较中肯,不过楼主考的Gmat,找其他program还得重考GRE,而且现在已经四月份了。
JHU的B-school/f ...
他擴張得快不快其實不是concern, 一年的master, 擴張得來都畢業了.
Carey連自家的PhD都沒有, 我想在他website找prof的research interest都不能短時間的找到, 我很難想像他家近年的research的氣勢如何, 連他們faculty的research interest (direction or displine), publication record (我要知那份jorunal, impact factor如何), past institute (i.e. network in academic) 我也是no information.
一家沒PhD的business school + 一個career focus的program + 一個沒thesis/research project requirement的master + 一個not solid enough的major = good luck for academic preparation.
還好現在只是四月頭, 還不算太遲.
建議立刻衝去裸考GRE, 再找一些不看GRE verbal的school (GRE quant中國人去考佷難考得差)
P.S. 不少financial economics的program也接受GMAT的, 不一定要GRE.
UK不少是rolling admission, 歐陸好些課程都是四月中/尾/之後deadline的.
真的趕不上就空半年, 申明年二月開學的澳紐.
堅持美國的話就申明年, 中間一年先工作一段時間對finance這類displine來說沒甚問題. (順道自修CFA + mathematics and/or programming)
沒有別的option就要take JHU 這個 MSF 的話, 唯一原因就是家裡錢多, 掉一些落鹹水海也沒所謂.
Academically for a PhD in Finance, JHU MSF is a zero. Repeat, it's a zero. It's just waste of $$ and time.
P.S. 建議看一看:
LSE, MSc Fina & Econ
Wariwck, MSc Fina & Econ, Economics
Nottingham, MSc from Economics department
Edinburgh, Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics
Durham, MSc in Finance and Economics
Amsterdam, MSc Economics & Econometrics
Rotterdam, MSc Financial Economics
Zurich, Master in Economics
St. Gallen, Master Quant Econ Fina
HU Berlin, MSc in Economics and Management Science
Mannheim, Master in Economics / Business Research (Finanace)
Konstanz, Master in Economics
Goethe Frankfurt, MS Quant Econ
HEC Paris, MS in Mgt and Fina Econ
Erasmus Mundus, QEM
Bocconi, MSc in Finance
Barcelona GSE, MSc in Economics / Finance
just a few example which have relativly late deadline,
不保證以上所有都是good preparation program for PhD, 但肯定全部都比JHU MSF好 for PhD preparation (everything is better than zero anyway).
反過來看, 樓主只是口說打算PhD, 而不是心裡真的想PhD - 要不就不會犯下apply JHU MSF這個低級錯誤了.
P.S. 是maryland robert smith school of business 的 msf嗎?
good school for finance, but weak program in academic sense, at the end it's just a MSF but not a master in economics / mathematics
- but at lease have chance for tougher course later and connection to top academics;
假設MSF grad之後2015找到RA的話, 再自行補上一年的math & econ course(2015-16, 其實是再諗一個master in economics....), 最快可以一試報2016Fall admission...
不過這麼多的uncertainity (don't know if can have RA or not), don't have master thesis, 又不sure if possible to take enough course in math, stat & econ, 那又何必stick to MSF而不試一試另外申請一個master which is suitable for PhD preparation?
畢竟MSF的內容對PhD preparation的幫助真的很接近零.
Repeat: Master in Finance are not program for preparation of PhD in Finance, most of them are just not. They are just an academic preparation up of level of CFA.
(for those are, you can regonise that easily from their course structure, e.g. they likely to have tons of econometrics, required a micro class together with econ major, have speical mathematical preparation session which may include stochastic calculus and etc.) |
