Hi, I am hoping to apply to MFE for the upcoming cycle and was wondering what programs are good and realistic based on my current stats. I am also international student:
Education & Coursework
- Pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science & Engineering and double majoring with Financial Mathematics at The Ohio State University (OSU), expected graduation in May 2026.
- Current GPA: 4.0
- Specialization: Artificial Intelligence
Intro financial math, financial economies, ODE, Applied PDEs, Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Mathematical Statistics, Python, C++, data structures, intro ai, machine learning, neural networks
Research & Technical Experience
Economic policy optimization Research (OSU)
- Working on building multi-output predictive models for macroeconomic indicators.
- Experience with Random Forests, surrogate modeling, hyperparameter optimization, and time-series evaluation metrics (R²/RMSE, residual diagnostics).
AI & Bioacoustics Research
- Developing probabilistic wildlife audio-classification models using transformer embeddings and gradient-boosting methods.
- Exposure to signal processing techniques (MFCCs, DTW, spectrogram analysis) and uncertainty-aware classification.
Data Infrastructure Research (OSU)
- Improving data-ingestion pipelines for large scientific datasets (HDF5), optimizing validation, and reducing processing errors across heterogeneous source
AI & Medical imaging
- Worked with. prof on developing ai medical imaging tool for cancer research
