Undergrad Advice

Classy point, BBW, very classy. I'm not well-learned in the ways of literature, unfortunately, so I don't have much to add to your point. Case in point: I've been meaning to finish Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged for the past 2 years.

I've been meaning to finish Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged for the past 2 years.

I cannot recommend Ayn Rand.

The style is avant-garde and sui generis, with a cool disdain for punctuation and grammar. If you pick up some of Thomas Pynchon's earlier novels (such as "Gravity's Rainbow") you will see some stylistic resemblance. Or going back further, Joyce's "Ulysses."

blast from the past...BBW's prowess and command in the language continues to befuddle me.

Chances of getting in to an MFE program as an Undergrad

I have a 3.8 GPA at Virginia Tech, with majors in Economics, Math, and Philosophy. By the time I graduate I will have had classes in linear algebra, vector calculus, modern algebra, advanced calculus, real analysis, and econometrics. In addition I have taken two very math heavy courses in a summer session at LSE. Also, hopefully, I will have completed research with a finance professor on optimal portfolio allocation and risk management, as well as possible research in experimental economics involving heavy amounts of econometrics. I have yet to take the GRE.

My question is do you think that I have enough background and credentials to enter an MFE program straight out of undergrad?
