谢谢前辈的指教。那请问您觉得我现在还可以做什么来弥补我的profile呢？还是这是我的destiny...

P.S. no one fxcking care about jhu in this field, get a better place to earn a certificate (though not really much use)

This is NOT your denstiny, this is ur choice
是你選的學校，是你選的專業

the former is still kind of constrained (by the score), but the later is really your choice.

99% of things in business school is preparation for career but not further study, and this is your choice: i.e. you have to really make up the maths yourself
(I guess you are on the way of it, like stochastic calculucs and real analysis, but competent applicant will likely to have more (not all but most): numerical analysis, numerial method for DE, ODE, PDE, optimization, stochastic process, time series, data structure........ (FROM THE SCI/ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, THOSE FROM FINANCE/ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT DON'T COUNT)

actually 能做的你都做了大半……top GPA, exchange for international exposure, a bit research,  gre tofel也夠高了(再推高也沒用)，maybe a couple of math course more (numerical stochasrtic 之類, and also stuffs like data structure on the cs side)

能申得上tier 1最好，不過tier 1.5/2夠找工作用的了……

P.S. get a certificate elsewhere la, no one talk about JHU in this field ga.........even a certificate in a top one wont help too much indeed........

well not to be sensitive here, but this undergrad school was never my choice
请意识到每个人都有他的故事的...我是家中出变故很仓促地放弃了申请美本，很短时间准备高考，and分数大致在RUC/ZJU的水平，但是我报的太高（盲报志愿）...
so, NO, it was never my choice. and i am really trying to suck it up.
Convex Optimization，ODE and PDE，时序分析，多元分析都是我修过的专业课，但是确实像您说的，是Econ系的，所以i guess也并无卵用。

Thank you, for your great suggestions.

1. don't get it wrong: "the former is still kind of constrained (by the score)", and hope you get what I mean........kind of choice with constrains only......(家中出变故) is the constrain, but (what to 报/太高or not) is still your choice.

2. it is not really common for econ school to offer that many math course I will say. If they are all separate course, but not just topics under one or two like "math for economist I, II", that it will be much better, and close to that from math/stat.

and indeed not much you can worry about:
A. your career plan dont need a PhD
B. For MFE, there are not really not much MFE that worth applying, so just apply for all of them and then.......sit and wait.
C. just dont hope too much on IBD at this moment I will say..........S&T fit better for your profile......and both are competitive.

Hope to best for you anyway.

P.S. life is always like that............every one have their own constrain........just play the cards well anyway......this is the only thing one can control

嗯是专业课，因为学校的统计系还算说得过去（有专门的研究所，所以我才有可能去RA），不是一章两章的那种

总之非常感谢您，我平时眼界有限，还是too naive，因此才会来论坛请教。我的谬误之处还请多见谅。

An update question, have you heard of Stanford MS&E? It's a management science master in the engineering school and its students are "said" to have decent placement but no official data on their website, which is attached below.

話說我第一次聽過這個department, 是我見到他在HK搞的Quant Fina certificate program, 於是我對其的印象已經直插谷底.

For reference: http://forum.chasedream.com/thread-969994-1-1.html (F2 department)

let me try to be objective....:

Right....看来我还是安心地准备MIT MFin和Cornell吧...
另，不知您觉得哥大OR算不算F2专业呢？
