ver 2.0,
Unfortunately, I focus on business schools and am not well versed on master's degree programs in finance and economics. You seem to have a strong profile. Are you unhappy with the offer from East Anglia?

Hi,
Appreciate your response. I will take up the East Anglia offer if I don't get anything else, my preference is the US universities though. I have applied to the MS(Econ and Finance) at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville offered at their Business School -
https://www.siue.edu/BUSINESS/econfin/grad/ms.html
I got a mail yesterday and they asked me to resend my GRE scores which I have done using the phone service (they said recipient would receive the score within 5 working days which I hope is the case
). The course looks a good fit for me and I will be a bit confused assuming this one and UAlbany MA (Econ) is an admit.
Do you think I could make it to the SIUE Business School's MS course.
Many Thanks
