北京不错，硬件也够硬。。。赶脚这条件如果再加上一个靠谱的推荐信申请博士都是杠杠得
硕士的话推荐信不需要太看重，所以不是短板
赶脚加州的那些名校都申请一下吧，从高往低，UCB，UCLA，Stanford，UCSD，USC，UCSB
UC－Davis，UC－Irvine，UCSC。。。

感谢你的回复！
我申请金融工程也没有问题吗，看项目描述上似乎对于数学、计算机背景比较看重呢~谢谢~

GT is enough.


financial math / financial engineer is basically applied math & stat in finance, with the implemenent throught program.

高数、线代、统计、概统 is the bare bare minimum for MFE.......which will definitly put you into big disadvantage if you only have those, not to mention a managemnet degree will not help in this quantitative side.

Choice of school are also easy..........UCB = i dont see you have any chances (compare youself with the student profile online......), try UCLA maybe, Stanford one (at ICME) will be .....um i cannot imagine they will take someone without decent sci/engine background.
USC is already a bit marginal (but also easier to get in, especially they have one in the math department, and then on in the engineering school), chinese class, and without a really good program structure......i.e. chances of finding a relevant job is not really that high.
FE is a competitive field, forgot the rest......

programming is an important concern.........i guess you dont know C++, but hopefully at least MATLAB/R/SAS.....but not only SPSS & VBA....else the concern is not only about admission, but also about how can you pick it up for academic and later for work purpose.

papers wont help much either for taught master (as papers are for research in acadmeic), especially when they are in Chinese (simply because adcom wont able to read it....)




for MSF, things are much simpler: apply to those university offering it, which one doesn't matter at the end - won't get a job in US for 99.99% as an international student anyway. US are never lack of arts & business local student......



going to finance / financial economics from economics is definitly not a problem (indeed a good background), but going to financial mathematics will be a big one (not because of the finance stuff but the math stuffs)


Conclusion: think twice about your plan.................especially if you expect to stay for a job.
MFE (technical) side will have a higher chances to stay, but you lack the math/stat/programing
MSF/Econ is something your background still suits, but good luck while job hunting as an international student
put academic/PhD out of the picture for this moment.....

P.S. west coast is not really a good location for financial engineering. Better for finance as there are tons of IT and startup, and thus VC & PE, but seldom are those related to quantitative stuffs......

非常中肯的建议，谢谢！！！
我还有一个问题想要请教一下, 我有两次11月份T的成绩，都挺一般的 一次101=28+27+19+27，另外一次98=26+24+22+26，现在似乎来不及考试了，不知道应该寄送哪一次成绩好一点（包括金融和经济硕士）
非常感谢！

check the requirement of the university..........

TOFEL is more like fulfill the requirement, so if need 100+, send the 101 one, if need speaking > something like 20, send the 98 one.......if both, just send both?

金融工程可能需要更多的编程基础，但是也并不是很重要，不过对于你这种情况金融硕士会更 match 一些。。。

金融碩士的確是更對口, 不過就要有畢業之後收拾好包袱回家的心理準備了.


P.S. math(+stat) and programming are the ultmost important in financial engineering, 找工作是外加英語能力.
general finance knowledege doesn't play a big role in this process....
