But distinction at Exeter is very different than a distinction at LSE. LSE distinction practically guarantees entry into a top program. With Exeter distinction, they will have to take a close look at your Math and Economics grades, test scores, references, etc. Apply to 18 schools (most are free or $50 application fee, not $250 ike MBA application fee). 6 ambitious, 6 target match, 6 safety. I can tell you that it is a lottery and very tough to predict what will happen. For some reason, some of these MFE dudes from the top programs want to give up $150K jobs on Wall Street and spend 6 years in poverty in a Finance PhD program. So that is what you will be up against.</p></blockquote><p></p>
