Hi soni,

I shall be joining the financial economics programme at columbia. I preferred this programme over MIT because of a small class size and better course structure, but you will have to take a call since MIT has a solid brand name in india. Other good programmes include the programme at UChicago and financial economics at oxford.

Financial engineering courses are also pretty good but it appears you are not interested. I would recommend you try to have a good internship ( please do not EVER mention the paid video lecture series under prof mathur as an internship ). Your GRE is impressive and GPA is not too bad. NITS is one of the good schools so it should be okay. You need good projects and an internship.

An internship at a BB bank ( GS, JP, MS, etc ) or a top research org such as CAFRAL in bombay ir NIPFP or even ISB might help. Try to do projects and maybe publish somewhere. You have a good shot at any of the 4 schools I mentioned. Goodluck!
