<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I will be applying for the Master’s in Financial Engineering program this fall. What do you think my chances are?</p>
<li>School: University of California-Riverside (2002-2008)</li>
<li>BA Economics: 2.5/4.0 scale (2002-2006)</li>
<li>BA Math 3.7/4.0 scale (2006-2008)
4 Minor in Statistics: 3.7/4.0 scale (2006-2008)</li>
<li>Research with a business professor who specializes in financial engineering</li>
<li>Senior Thesis: Stochastic processes</li>
<li>Internships: First, as an entrepreneur starting and running a painting business. Second, an associate at Merril Lynch.</li>
<li>3 strong reccs from 2 math professors and 1 econ professor. Both know about my Econ and Math GPA and clearly state I am a strong candidate for a quantitative field.</li>
<li>Essay topic: Studied in India for 1 month with colleagues of the Dalai Lama. This changed my life as evidenced in my GPA’s. </li>
</ol>
<p>WHAT DO YOU THINK??? OBVIOUSLY MY ECON GPA IS MEDIOCRE BUT MY MATH AND STATS GPA ARE WHAT REALLY MATTER, CONSIDERING WHAT GRADUATE PROGRAM I AM APPLYING FOR.</p>
