Hello everyone:
I am an Asian girl and now working on my application for Master in Finance in US.
Would really appreciate if someone can evaluate my profile.
Education: NCCU (The second best university in Taiwan) Business major, Overall GPA: 3.5
Work experience : 1 year as an administrator
1 year as an accountant
1 year as a financial specialist in HSBC
GMAT: First attempt:640/Second: 650/ Third: 720
TOEFL: 103
Schools I applied for :
UIUC MS in Finance
University of Austin MS in Finance
Purdue MS in Finance
MIT MS in Finance
Carneige Mellon ( Do they accept business undergraduate who have no engineering background?)
Columbia Master in Financial Economics
Ohio State University MS in Finance
University of Southern California
Also, financial engineering programs really appeal to me. But I don't have knowledge in programming such as C++ or Matlab.
Is it possible for me to get admitted to those programs? And if I managed to get into those financial engineering programs , will it be extremely tough for me to
keep up with my fellow classmates?
I really need someone's suggestion.
Many thanks.
