Hi,
I am from Hong Kong and am going to apply for the MFE programme of Berkeley. I really appreciate if someone here can help evaluate my profile:
University: City Univ of Hong Kong
Major: BBA in Quantitative Finance (currently final year)
GPA: 3.71
GMAT: 730 (51/98% Quantitative, 37/81% Verbal, 4/20% Writing)
TOEFL: can be waived
Programming: VBA (I didn't take VBA course, but VBA is used in the financial computing course), MATLAB (A), C++ (used in the project), Java (A-), and a course on algorithms (A)
Math: Calculus (A), Linear Algebra (A), Numerical Analysis, Probability (B+), Statistics (B+), Differential equation (B+)
Finance: Discrete-time and continuous-time option pricing (A), econometrics, portfolio management (A), a project on local-vol model (like senior thesis, A)
Certification: FRM L1 and L2; going to take CFA L1 this December
Work Experience: intern in HSBC's investment banking (back office) this summer, currently a part-time trading assistant in a trading firm.
BTW, I also need some suggestions on whether I should retake the GMAT. I got a GMAT total score of 730, 51 quantitative (98%) and 37 verbal (81%). However, the writing score is low (4, 20% percentile). I don't know if the low writing score will be a weakness.
Thanks in advance=]
