So, I am in the middle of a situation where I have to choose 3 out of 4 sources to write me rec letters for MFE program application. They are:
- A professor of Math who had her Ph.D in MIT, and meanwhile is the director of a small "Industrial Math Master program" from my insitution.
- A associated professor of Math who is more specialized in financial math, PDE, and derivative pricing, and had his Ph.D in Rutgers University.
- The manager from a mid-size "IT and Data Analysis Company" in China, where I had my CS internship in.
- The manager of the Investment Banking department in one of the largest commercial banking in China, also, where I interned.
To be more clear, I guess my main confusions are:
- does the evaluation committee usually care more about the quality of rec letter? or the qualification and background of the person who wrote the letter?
- which one between professor and manager is a better source of recommendation for MFE program?
- do you think, when applying MFE, the intern in a company in china is much less credible and considerable than one from the US? and so does the reference letter?
Thank you so much in advance! You guys are awesome!
