<p>Hi:)
I'm an international student from China. I transferred to University of Minnesota in my junior year. My major is economics ,bachelor of science , and my GPA in U of M is 3.8. I got one recommendation letter from my math instructor. And I'm preparing gre now. I want to study financial math or economics in graduate school. I don't know which colleges are suitable for me and how to write a good PS. Can anyone give me some advices?</p>
<p>You need to talk to your professors about what programs have strengths in the areas of math that you’re interested in studying.</p>
<p>Your Statement of Purpose (not a Personal Statement) needs to explain why you are interested in pursuing graduate studies. So, figure out why you want to go to grad school, and write that. :)</p>
<p>Also, you will need three letters of recommendation from professors, so think about what other instructors you could ask to recommend you.</p>
