Overview

Whatever portfolio they choose, students are expected to be strong in several areas of fundamental theory (e.g., real analysis, probability theory, micro-economics, game theory, decision theory, optimization) as well as methods (e.g., statistics, econometrics, experimental design, coding), so that they can begin exploring novel research questions by the middle of their second year.

Features

There is no requirement for prior experience in business applications. Students at University of Virginia with a strong Quantitative Analysis background can be taught all the necessary skills for success in academic research.

General requirements

Unofficial transcripts are fine for the purposes of our application process, and we require transcripts for all degree-related coursework.

We accept two standardized tests, the GMAT and GRE, and we view these tests equivalently. We recommend choosing the test that best aligns with your strengths and your application plans.

As a rough guide, we recommend one resume page for every 10 years of work experience. If you’ve reviewed our application, you know there is an Employment History section, and, in this section, you will provide basic details about your various roles and responsibilities.

The recommendation is an opportunity for us to hear from someone other than you regarding your candidacy.
