发帖数: 38 | 1 Hi Guys,
Please take a look of my profile and let me know if I have a shot to any of the top tier MFE programs (UCB, NYU, CMU, UCLA and etc.)? Really appreciate your help.
* BS: Aerospace Eng. with GPA about top 8% from a top 10 eng. (no. 1 in Aerospace Eng.) school in China.
* MS: Mechanical Eng. with GPA 3.8/4.0 from a top 50 eng. school in USA. All my courses here are related to eng. numerical analysis: CFD, FEM, BEM, MC/MD etc. My thesis was to predict material behaviors by conducting nano-scale Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations (two projects). A lot of quantitative analysis and numerical methods are involved.
* Ph.D: Human-Computer Interaction (co-majored in Mechanical Eng.) with GPA 3.9/4.0 from the same US school. Work I've done here was about software development with 3D computer graphics (openGL), geometric processing, virtual reality etc. My experience here includes a lot of computer programming (mostly C++), algorithms and some numerical analysis.
Currently, I've been working as a research scientist in a research company for almost 1 year. I am co-PI for a couple of research projects from different federal agencies. The work here is mainly engineering software development (C++) and numerical algorithm implementations. Since I have very little knowledge of finance, I am gonna take CFA level I exam this June.
Overall, I think I am ok with quantitative and programming skills (C/C++, Java, Matlab, R, Fortran etc.). Please give your comments or suggestions. Thanks a ton! | a*****r

发帖数: 13780 | 7 just apply, UCB and CMU love guys like you | C****y
发帖数: 38 | 8 嗯，明年的，而且钱还没攒够呢。
都快31了，是不是太老了？

发帖数: 38 | 10 I appreciate your encouragement.
I don't really have experience in stochastic, is it a problem?
Is there anything else I can do this year to strengthen my case, except CFA
level I?

发帖数: 13780 | 12 没问题的， 反正一般工作也用不到。。。
CMU 教的那些应付面试就够了
CFA L1 能考就考吧，呵呵。 这两个学校 拿其中一个没问题
今年像 Ph.D + MSCF 找intern 比前三年好太多了，天地之别 赶快抓紧吧
CFA

发帖数: 1340 | 13 其实我一直有个疑问，PhD+Full time MFE，如果没有绿卡，PhD毕业后OPT又用过的话
，MFE完就没有OPT了，会对找工作有影响吗？ | s*****g

要是心里决定了，就不要犹豫，有时候就是一咬牙的事情。瞻前顾后反而不好。
CFA I 挺简单的，每天花几个钟头看看notes就搞定了。我想这东西在你申请的时候还
是会有所帮助的，特别是对完全没有金融背景的人。
我跟你情况挺像的。一年前开始准备CFA，今年递交了若干申请，不过没有仅限于美国
，还申了两所英国的学校。 | w******i
