MathFin/MFE application resume - Advice Please!
Hi all,
http://www.razume.com/documents/26449
I recently updated my resume by adding the relevant project under education. I was not sure what metrics to include in the description and have thus far only included excess return. I am thinking of substituting that with a sharp ratio estimate since the excess return number might draw probing questions.
All other comments are welcome. I am looking to use this resume as I apply to MFE programs this fall as well as a few internships this fall/spring.

1.) Strong academics 2.) You should get an 800 on the GRE.Q. If so, you should get into most programs. 3.) Why not get an full-time offer instead and go part-time?
NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, CMU are all within reach with that resume and an 800 GRE.Q.
I'll be applying to those programs in a couple years myself. Do you think pedigree from an ivy undergrad matters as much for these programs? Obviously, I'm from a non-target school and am planning to use this type of program to "re-brand" myself. Also, do the GRE verbal and writing sections matter at all?
Thanks for the review IP,
I'de rather go full time and knock it out quickly. Also I want to finish it before my parents change their minds about paying for it.
I took the GRE and got 165Q/161V. I think i'm going to stick with this score as it is above the implied 90% cutoff point for most of the top programs (165 is around 93%.)
Fine. But work full-time, go part-time and have your employer pay for it. Save your parents some money. Live on a grad student's budget and save the difference as you work. That's easily worth it taking an extra year.
